<p>Forcing friends to buy expensive Aso-ebi is manipulative.</p>
<p>Your close friend is getting married and announces the Aso-ebi package is ₦150,000. </p>
<p>You are on a strict budget, but they imply that if you don't buy the fabric, you aren't truly supporting their big day. </p>
<p>Is buying the Aso-ebi a mandatory cultural sacrifice to show up for your friends, or is weaponizing a wedding dress code against someone's finances unfair? </p>
<p>Can you show up in your own clothes and still be a good friend?</p>
<p>Where do you stand, and what limits would you set? </p>
<p>What is a good price for you?</p>
