Social media users have reacted to the alleged price of the Aso-ebi material sold for the traditional wedding of Nollywood actress, Rita Dominic.
It can be recalled that the 46-year-old thespian tied the knot traditionally with her boo, Fidelis Anosike, on Tuesday, April 19, in her hometown in the eastern part of Nigeria.
Old and new Nollywood actors and actresses, including Ini Edo, Joke Silva, Uche Jombo, Idia Aisen, and others, showed up and showed out for her at the ceremony, and photos of their beautiful outfits have flooded the internet.
In a new update, the cost of the stunning green George material has now been shared online by Instagram gossip blogger, Cutie Juls.
According to the blogger who shared this information on Wednesday, April 21, the outfit cost a whooping sum of N150,000 per person.
The post reads:
“Asoebi was N150k
Stephanie bought but I was looking forward to her presence.. or did I miss?
Genevieve and Omotola too. But above all, Nollywood showed maximum love to Riri.
Was so much looking forward to see especially Genevieve in that Asoebi.”
This has stirred mixed reactions online as netizens debate over the price and argue that it is too expensive for that price.
Some also shared their thoughts on the cost price of the material if it was gotten directly from the market. While others opined that the guests probably received souvenirs worth the extra cost paid on the outfit.
See some reactions below,

As at the time of filing this report, both prices have not been confirmed.

She later insisted that the little boy leave so she could continue to record her video. Seeing that his sister wasn’t ready to get dressed, he used a curtain to help her cover up.
“Cover yourself, cover yourself”, he told the lady.
The video elicited reactions from netizens, especially because it emerged at a time when the type of content kids are exposed to is a trending topic online.

Tell the full story.
Don’t leave out the unending missing funds.
Could have called the police but I chose to end it peacefully.
Go ahead and make me the villain.
If this is what you wanna do, then I’m down for it,” she responded.

A Lagos-bound passenger, identified simply as Mama Tobi, has slumped and died while waiting to board her flight at the Abuja airport.

Taking to social media, the lawyer, Felix Ashimole wrote,
“Where is the money they claim was sunk into renovating the airport into world standard? For 13 minutes, no FAAN medical personnel. She died in my hands and few others. A medical doctor on his way to Kano tried but as he finally said, “we lost her.
But she would’ve been saved, had FAAN provided basic insulin. She was diabetic. Her sugar went high; She entered coma; No medical attention; She saw the light and moved towards it. We kept calling her, Mama Tobi, Mama Tobi, don’t leave us, wake up, Good morning but saliva trickled down, foams bubbled and I knew she had seen a better place and wouldn’t be coming back!
“FAAN and the entire airline staff on ground were stupidly acting as if è no concern them. They kept announcing boarding and NEVER USED their speaker to ask if there is any medical personnel on ground. Finally they brought an ambulance from their fire fighting department, to take her corpse away! Good night Mummy Tobi. Your country and countrymen, failed you.”
It was gathered that the corpse of the woman was taken to the NAF Medical Centre located at the airport.
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of FAAN, Faithful Hope-Ivbaze, denied reports that FAAN didn’t respond swiftly to help the woman.
“Our doctors were there. We are not happy it happened. We regret it happened but God knows the best in every situation.”she said.
She went on to sympathize with the family of the deceased and prayed that that God grants them the fortitude to bear the loss.
Popular Nigerian singer, Seun Kuti, has taken to social media to berate men who mistreat their wives and children.
In a post shared via his Instagram page, the singer stated that African culture doesn’t encourage violence against women and children.
He said this while addressing men who hide under the guise of being African to justify their actions.
In his words,
“All this people that turn African just to beat their wives and children. There is no part of African culture that encourages violence against women and children; spare the rod and spoil the child, A woman’s place is in the kitchen are European Abrahamic proverbs.
“What is the African version what is the African equivalent of these proverbs. Please tell me below, because una crase dey do press up! You aren’t African except in location! You don’t practice anything African except the small language u speak! Your holy land is Jerusalem and Mecca! Your most valuable possessions are you European thoughts and things! But as soon as u want to break your equally European wife and child, you claim African? Come close I want to ask u something, Are you mad?”

In other news, Seun Kuti has advised parents to begin sex education with their children at a young age.
The father of one, who gave this advice in a post shared via his Instagram page, said it’s high time parents stopped shying away from conversations about sex with their kids and taught their children about sex.
According to him, everything in Nigeria today is centred around sex, from images to songs that these children are exposed to.
He went on to say that 14-year-olds had sex in his generation, so it’s no surprise that the age for youngsters in this generation has plummeted.
Nigerian businesswoman and model, Tania Omotayo, has revealed that majority of the Nigerian boys she knows were dis-virgined by their nannies.
The mother of one made this disclosure while speaking with actress, Stephanie Coker, on her podcast“Me, Her and Everything Else”.
The duo had a conversation about the increasing reports of sexual abuse and rape in both boarding and day schools in the country, and the tactical steps parents can take to tackle the menace.
Tania, who hinted that she attended a boarding secondary school, disclosed that 95% of her male friends were deflowered by either their nannies, other home staff or aunties.
According to her, it’s really sad because majority of these boys were not aware that they were being sexually abused, and thought it was normal to be touched by their abusers.
Speaking further, Tania advised parents to sexually educate their children and let them know that it’s wrong for any adult – either male or female – to touch their private parts.
Her words,
“Almost every boy, maybe 95% of the boys I know from Nigeria were disvirgined by their nannies, or staff or aunties. But that’s also because they are not educated about it, they don’t know… they think it’s normal, they think it’s okay, so it’s up to you as a parent to tell your kids that it’s not okay for an adult to touch you down there.. it’s not okay for anyone, either male of female.”
A while ago, the actress during an interview noted that marriage is sweet when you are with the right man.
The screen diva stated this while she opened up on her marriage, childbirth and career. According to her, it took some years before welcoming her first child because she agreed with her husband to give birth later which he agreed.
She said,
“marriage has been very good to me and it has been a wonderful experience all the way. I am happy that I am with someone I love and we are both happy to be sharing the rest of our lives with each other. I have no regrets about getting married at the time I did as I believe that God’s time is the best”.
Stephanie also highlighted her passion for her acting job saying that she loved her job and was glad she identified her gift at an early age. Being a movie producer, she added that she’s ready to correct some societal ills of the country through her project.

A 23-year-old mother of two, Mercy Samuel was reportedly hacked to death during a disagreement in their home in Plateau state.
According to reports, the unfortunate incident happened on Sunday night, April 17.
The husband identified as Samuel Mathew who is currently at large attacked his wife, leaving her with her abdomen ripped open and her intestine cut.
Mercy was found at their home along Vom Road in Jos on Monday morning and rushed to the Bingham University Teaching Hospital, Jos, but she died on Wednesday, April 20.
Jummai Madaki, the State Project Officer, Women’s Right Advancement and Protection Alternative, WRAPA, who confirmed the incident said the deceased had been a victim of domestic violence for a while and the group was trying to get support for her before she was killed.
Following her death, Jummai asked the public to call for justice on her behalf.
“There had been some violence against her in the past as confirmed by her family but the husband’s family denied any violence. The man ripped open her tummy, remove her intestine and cut it before he disappeared with her phone so she could not call for help.
“They live in a small apartment so I wonder why no one heard her scream, we were told help did not come until the early hours of Monday when she was rushed to the hospital and placed on oxygen. An informant called my attention to the incident and we raise an alarm. Surprisingly, the matter was not reported to the police. We were told by her parents that even as recent as last year, she was home due to some issues but the husband’s people came to beg and she went back.” She said.
