A Nigerian bride-to-be [/b]has taken to social media to lament her disappointment and emotional distress after discovering that none of her close friends bought her Asoebi, just weeks ahead of her highly anticipated wedding ceremony.
The emotional post, which captured the attention of many social media users, has since gone viral, sparking intense conversations about friendship, wedding expectations, and financial realities.
Nearly 30 Friends, Yet None Buy Asoebi
According to the bride, she created an Asoebi WhatsApp group as far back as October in preparation for her wedding.
She revealed that close to 29 of her friends were added to the group, with the expectation that they would support her big day by purchasing the chosen Asoebi.
However, to her shock and disappointment, she claimed that not a single person in the group made any purchase, despite months of planning and reminders.
Financial and Emotional Toll
The bride explained that the situation has taken a serious emotional toll on her, leaving her feeling hurt, abandoned, and embarrassed.
She also disclosed that the lack of support has placed additional financial strain on her, as she had factored in Asoebi sales while budgeting for the wedding.
According to her, the situation felt even more painful because she had previously supported her friends financially and emotionally during their own celebrations.
Bride Speaks Out
Expressing her frustration openly on social media, the bride shared her disbelief over the situation.
She said: “ I can’t believe my friends did this to me! My marriage is just a few weeks away, but these girls, none of them bought this Asoebi. They’ve been in that WhatsApp group since October, and I even did Asoebi for one of them!”
Her words resonated with many social media users who have experienced similar disappointments during major life events.
Netizens Reacts
As the post continued to trend online, netizens quickly shared their opinions, sparking mixed reactions across platforms.
While many sympathized with the bride and criticized her friends for what they described as a lack of support, others argued that the rising cost of Asoebi and current economic challenges may have influenced their decision not to buy.
Some commenters advised brides-to-be to lower expectations and avoid placing financial pressure on friendships, while others encouraged honest conversations ahead of major events.
