Videos: Get Out Of My Party If You Are Not Wearing Aso-Ebi – Woman Causes Stir On Her 70th Birthday

A woman identified as Mrs Toyin Bucknor has caused stirs on social media after a video of her chasing people out of her 70th birthday party over Aso-Ebi surfaced.

In the video seen by Naija News, Bucknor stood up while people were partying and announced that anyone not wearing her Aso-Ebi (a Yoruba name for uniform party dress) should leave immediately.

The celebrant threatened to embarrass anyone who failed to adhere to her rules, saying she was speaking with anger.

“If you didn’t wear my Aso-Ebi or buy from me, stand up and leave my party if you want to turn 70 because I am talking with anger,” the celebrant told her guests.

It was observed that while she was making the announcement, the MC and some persons, probably her family members, tried to stop her, but Bucknor frowned at them, and they all withdrew.

The development left many of the guests bewildered as they stirred at each other.

Another interesting thing is that the woman had issued a warning on the invitation card to her guest, as seen online.

The warning reads: “Please, no sharing of Aso-Ebi to avoid being bounced. No Access Card, No Entry.

“Don’t sit on the chair if your name is not written on the Table. To avoid being embarrassed. This is Due to the capacity of the hall.

“Underage not allowed.”
