In this episode of Citizen Z, we’re diving into the glitz, glam, and growing pressure of Nigeria’s wedding guest outfit tradition—asoebi. From daring high slits to cleavage-baring designs, asoebi styles are getting bolder, but so are the price tags. With the cost of these matching fabrics on the rise, is the culture of asoebi still about unity, or has it become an unspoken financial burden?
Plus, we’ll explore how Nigerian weddings in the diaspora navigate this tradition—does asoebi still hold the same weight outside Naija, or do couples tweak the rules to fit their new environment?
Join us as we unpack the expectations, expenses, and evolving trends of asoebi culture in today’s wedding scene.
