Some events like weddings, carnivals or religious programs can prompt you to buy certain clothes you won't like to wear again. Some Aso ebi, for instance, could cost you some thousands of Naira and if you can't wear it more than once, there is no point buying it.

Many people tend to believe that a product is either fake or worthless if it doesn't have a brand name attached to it. Whereas, there are many alternative products that will give you the same value at a cheaper price.

Don't try to copy other people's lifestyle. You don't have to patronize an expensive brand because it is your friends' favourites.
