Lagosians spend 36 billion naira annually on Owambe
(Parties) and 1.2billion naira on Aso-ebi(matching outfits)
According to him,
We did a study between October and November
last year, we took just five local governments in
Lagos; Agege, Mushin, Ifako-Ijaiye, Ikeja and
another one.We studied from Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights, three days every week for four
weeks which was 12 nights.In 12 nights, 1555
parties were held in these local governments.
In terms of drinks, food and all other engagements
during such parties, about N1.2 billion was spent
and when we dis-aggregated them we saw how
much went to DJ, MC, food and drinks, the total
picture in the state now and I don't want to give you
a wrong number but it's something in the region of
about N3 billion monthly on that side of our life and
people are playing and impacting on that side of our
economy.
The governor said that clothing materials worn
during such parties popularly called "Aso-ebi"
gulped at least N1.2 billion monthly, saying the
market is huge with much yet to be tapped from it."
