Queen Elizabeth: London Museum Honours Nigerians Who Attended Burial In Aso Ebi

Nigerians who attended the burial of late England’s monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, in the United Kingdom have been honoured by the Palace.

Nigerians abroad went above and beyond to honour the late Queen. Photos that went viral online showed Nigerians dressed in vibrant “Aso Ebi” with the late Queen’s picture printed on it.

It was their original way of honoring the longest reigning monarch of England.

An update to the story stated that the UK Palace had asked for the costume to be on exhibit at the London Museum.

This report was shared online by famous news publisher, Dele Momodu, who disclosed that the ‘Aso Ebi’ outfit started as a joke but was taken seriously by one of the group members.
