"I'm a low income earner and cannot afford to buy expensive foreign wears instead I buy 'Aba made' which prices are cheaper but anytime I hangout with friends they make jest of me, saying that I wear any made clothes. They have even nicknamed me as Aba. I love the #Buy-Naija-Product-to grow-the Naira# campaign. Please advise."

Aba made products are good, just that they are usually low quality. I hope the govt empowers them to produce quality stuff that will.last

Just do you and don't get intimidated.
Stick to your gun, loads of Nigerians don't know the 'foreign' clothes they wear were made in Aba. I actually make my shirts in Aba and they fit perfectly.
They should go and buy better outfit's for him. Anytin dat rocks his boat he should wear.

*********Thunder scarer oll dem lips for mocking********* stupid fake assed pipo !!!!!!!!! Umu ewu**********Inferiority complex egbugo ndi igbo particularly ................. Who foreign wears don help
Don't mind them oh. Only you know your struggle
Ur true friends should accept u.. either rich or poor. Jx ignore ur fake as friends
Mtcheeeeeeeeew!!!!
May be you are wearing Iyano ipaja made clothes.
My brother Abeg put ur hand where ur pocket reach. Nor let all those fake people intimidate wit their foreign nonsense. If u can't afford it. Wear the one u can afford
Even if you wear the most expensive clothes, people will still have something unpalatable to say. Just do what you gotta do, in as much as you are not dressed in rags! Q.E.D
My brother, in your case you don't have any choice than to buy Aba made clothes, except you want to go and steal. The campaign is for those who can afford to buy clothes made abroad. Lol
Nothing to say to u.
We should all support made in Nigeria goods most especially at this critical period of our nation when oil prices slumps all the time.
Your problem is inferiority complex when you carry yourself with dignity no one will ever have the guts to talk you down, flush out that I'm a low income earner mentality
Keep buying more. Some day soon I believe they will ask you to take them to your Aba made supplier for them to also buy for their use! That's the way forward in this country.
Well you are wearing aba made because of your small income but not for love to grow naija made. Things go better.
Sipping my hennessy
I'm still Harrimomoh don't mind them keep on wearing it in as much it fit u keep on guy Nigeria must grow.
Advise Wat? Go n hang urself hence u live by Wat pipo say.cut ur cloth according to ur material not size
Do not bother about them. People like you should be encouraged to play the role of our own Construction Giant-Julius Berger because when people tell me that Rome was not built in a day, I reply that the contract was not awarded to JB. Just know that slowly, steadily and surely, we will get there and begin to export Aba-made goods. I have said it in several fora that you cannot be the MD/CEO of Toyota and use Mercedes Benz as your official car.
I never comment but your friends are such idiots. Typical Nigerian mentality of putting money into another country's pocket, who look down on you as a Nigerian. Please keep wearing the clothes you wear and let them call you Aba if they choose to. You are the smartest of the bunch...
Don't worry very soon your friend will join you. Just wear it with pride and know that Nigerians are doing something good.

Buy okrika cloths de are cheaper and have better quality jst get a tailor to package it well for u
Very soon everybody we come to these, a little time more
They advice people to buy Niger to grow Niger while they are on Fendi suites 247.
Its Poverty mentalité that makes us get validation from western things.
No disrespect but that's how you differentiate true wealth & class look at A Dangote & Linda Ikeji. Dangote wears palm slippers made in Nigeria. Linda is struggling to prove that her bags were truly bought abroad.
Or imagine Beyoncé trying to convince any1 dat her bag is d real deal OR trying to explain y she shops at H&M still. You may hate on her but she's focusing on more impt things.
So your friends are just exhibiting poverty mentality getting broke to look rich.
Oga Do you biko.
I just hope Aba quality can be regulated
They are industrious
Don't mind them. Rock your wears at least you don't go stealing to look good. You live according to your income which us more honourable. Body is still covered whether cloth us expensive or not.

I will say don't keep friends who wants you to spend more than you earn ! Does are not friends,,,
Chai be proud of ur self ok? Remember it's all vanity!!!
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Ok oOo
My advise is that u stay away from them, sooner or later u will be force to do something bad due to their influence . Don't surround urself with people like that
Take my advice.next time you hang out with them,go NAKED.since they are complaining and you are worried. Nonsense
Please don't mind them,you can't live above your income, so it won't result to robbing,and besides there's nothing wrong in wearing made in ABA,we should learn to patronise our made in naija goods,that way our naira will have value..
*a word is enough for the wise*
Pls instead of aba made clothes, go for okrika/bend down boutique. Lots of pals nd gals buy those. U see them u'll want to hang ur self cuz u think they buy from boutiques. U need good eyes when buying those. So u dont buy rags. Just go for first grade uk bale. Good luck.
It's like u r mad and there's no one to tell u. u buy aba made clothes bcos of ur situation and nt bcos u want to strengthen the currency.
Which one is - pls advise? What advice are you looking for? You are wearing what you can afford,you expect us to tell you to go and start robbing so you can be like your friends nii. Ogbeni ya ara e ni brain abeg
oh noooo, u just gave a fuck, how dare u???
Please ignore those friend of yours and if they continue to insult and embarrass you tell them that "If they can't buy you those foreign clothes which they believe creates the class then they should keep quiet". as you can do beyond your capacity. Do not let their mockery debase your self esteem. Only do what you can within your means.

Change your friends, or tell them when you can afford better u will buy. And hope you don't dress anyhow cos it's aba. Manner of dressing matters
Cut your cut according to your size. If you go steal and get caught, they are the same ones who will say wow 'we never knew our friend is a thief'. Remember people can never be satisfied. If they make fun, just say 'am promoting buy naija'. P.s: real friends don't mock their friends. Change your circle. - Newyorker ( Linda let's get married )

LEt them say, you just wear
What advise do you want? Cut your coat according to your size and stop listening to foolish people
Awww. You really should hold your head high bruv. You work, you don't steal. I'm a huge fan of the #buynaijatogrowthenaira campaign.i buy Naija a LOT! As long a you look smart, they can say whatever they like. They are not catering to your needs biko! One day, you will have enough to buy Tommy Hilfger,Ralph Lauren.... but for now, thank God for your humble beginnings. Take it from someone who's been in your shoes. E go better
They are not friends...why not get friends who accept u for who u are and not who they want you to be.
Ask them how they make their money???
On the other hand, show you CHARITY!!!

Don't mind them.
Maybe it's the way u wear them. Some people just know how to wear any thing n it fits them while some can't.
My guy don't mind those unpatriotic Nigerians that only like to buy foriegn things from another country instead of supporting thier country men. I also wear aba made clothes sometimes, and no one in Manchester makes fun of me.
How can u tell linda that bgt 2 hermes bags for almost 10million naira to advise?
Bro this has nothing to do with your friends, you simply need to work on yourself.
You probably have a very "Low Self Esteem" and should start working on your self immediately.
It's not really about the design, how U wear them matters most. If U take your time and select a nice aba made dress, although there r some that r a no no, shape it to fit, ur packing and self esteem is what matters most. Most of ur friends wear de same Aba products
Lol..
You've said ur challenges already cos I know any correct income earner will not buy Aba tins cos they are fake!!!
I'm sure the Aba guys are ur brothers, kip patronising them..
Ignore them
Abeg cut your cost according to your size. I guarantee you have more in the bank than your friends. Besides it takes confidence to do what you are doing. Your friends need to take several seats.
Ask them how they make their money!!!
Let them also show you dome CHARITY!!!
pls keep wearing whatever seems good to you
They re not frnds,avoid them,u don't need to hangout wt dem to prove any point,they will end up leading u astray bcos u can't afford wat dey ve,so u mite go any extreme to b like dem.linda u've never publish any of my comment.i hope u publish ds
Did you announce to your friends that your stuff is Aba-made
or are they mocking you based on assumptions? It's up to you
to win this psychological battle. Clothes are usually not bought
because of their cost or where they are made. The value is in
what clothes and accessories do to enhance our personalities.
This is the right attitude.Period.
It is rumoured that the preacher of that Gospel printed his book in the U.S...I will place no value on 9ja made unless our leaders learn to do that first
Change your friends!!
My brother u are cutting ur coat according to ur cloth
Nwanne biko koo ha.
Abeg mk we hear, swt just learn to blend them well. There's nothing wrong with it. Beside it's more expensive than 70% okrika clothes. Relax n flex wat u can afford. U just need to blend dem well✌🏼️✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼 don't go matching plenty yellow e.g yellow bag, yellow earring, yellow shoes, black gown. It's wrong my love. Just learn from those big girls u see ard u, blend ur colors well n nobody will know it's Aba.
Love u sweet
He should go and friend poor pple and remain poor just like Freeze said.
Yorubas will do anything to tarnish an Igbo man's handwork but God is with us.
don't mind ur friends, they wear it too
