Popular Nigerian content creator Peller has set social media abuzz after joking that he would love to hold a wedding ceremony every year so he could continue making money from the sale of aso ebi to guests.
In a viral video circulating online, Peller revealed that he floated the idea to his partner, Jarvis, but she quickly dismissed the suggestion, explaining that couples celebrate wedding anniversaries after marriage—not new weddings every year.
Recalling their conversation, Peller said:
“I told my baby make we dey do wedding every year, she said it’s not possible that it’s only anniversary we can do. Do people buy aso ebi for anniversary? I want to sell aso ebi.”
Comment Comes After Lavish Wedding
Peller’s humorous remark comes just days after his lavish traditional wedding, which generated widespread attention online, particularly over the prices of the aso ebi packages made available to guests.
According to details that circulated on social media, the event featured multiple aso ebi options, including:
- ₦350,000 for a four-yard package
- ₦700,000 for an eight-yard package
- ₦1 million for a 12-yard premium package
With reports indicating that more than 500 guests attended the ceremony, many social media users began estimating how much could have been generated from aso ebi sales alone, sparking debates about the rising cost of attending celebrity weddings in Nigeria.
Social Media Users React
The video has since gone viral, with many Nigerians describing Peller’s comment as a playful reflection of the thriving aso ebi culture associated with high-profile weddings.
Some users jokingly suggested that annual weddings could become a profitable business venture if guests were willing to keep purchasing new fabrics every year.
Others praised Jarvis for quickly reminding him that wedding anniversaries—not repeated weddings—are the proper way to celebrate a marriage.
The conversation has also reignited discussions about the increasing financial expectations placed on guests at celebrity events, with many questioning whether people would be willing to buy expensive aso ebi every year if such celebrations ever became a trend.
Despite the debate, most viewers interpreted Peller’s remarks as light-hearted humour, and the clip continues to attract thousands of reactions across social media platforms.
