‎I'II No Longer Buy Aso-ebi, But Wear What I Have - Biola Bayo Issues Public Service Announcement 

Popular Nollywood actress, Biola Bayo, has issued a public service announcement on her latest decision, regarding attending parties.

The movie star, via her Instagram page, shared a video, stating that she has 8 owambes lined up between now and the end of this year, revealing that the cost of aso-ebi which she has to buy is pegged at approximately N2 Million.

Addressing her friends and family, she stated that she can't afford it, explaining that beyond purchasing the aso-ebi, there are other costs that will be incurred in the process of attending the event.

Revealing her final decision, she emphasized that she will still attend parties, however, she would stick to what she has. She also stressed that whoever makes their event strictly by aso-ebi is informing her not to come, and letting her know that the cloth is more important than herself.

Pleading with everyone, she appealed to them not to take offense, adding that she can no longer afford it.

She said: "Between now and the end of the year, I have like 8 Owambes. The cost of aso-ebi should be approximately N2 million. Dear friends and family, I am sorry I can’t afford it. It’s another thing to buy Asoebi; I will sew it, do my make-up, buy shoes and a bag, fuel my car, and spray money. I will still have to cancel jobs and appointments to ensure that day is for you. I will come for your party, but I will wear what I have if you don’t mind. But, if you tell me it’s strictly by asoebi, that means you’re telling me not to come. That the asoebi is more important than me.

Please, nobody should take this personally with me.

I cannot afford it, please. If you give me, I’ll gladly make my Iro and Buba to come and honour you."
