Welcome.
I'll be talking a bit about one of Nigeri's great culture, that has its origin from the western part of Nigeria. THE ASO-EBI
The Asoebi culture is a beautiful concept by the Yoruba people used to signify oneness and unity amongst a particular family at events celebrated by one of their family member. Most especially at weddings as weddings then was not just about the bride and groom but its about the coming together of two families.
The Asoebi is what is used to identify each family at the event.
The brides family can wear blue for instance while the grooms family can pick white as the color for their own Asoebi.
So everyone can identify those who came for ‘idana’ which means payment of dowry and they can also identify the brides family who will receive the dowry . Although the ceremony is always done at the the bride’s family house unlike now that we use events centers the uniform fabric or color also exhibits peace amongst each family and they can be reassured that their children are in safe hands.
I'll be showing and taking you into the world of colours, for the next couple of days. Today,we'll be exploring the POWER OF BLUE,,, in different shades, combinations, and styles. Let's go there!!!
