Someone saw me flossing my teeth sometimes ago and asked if I am an ‘Ajebo’. I was kind of sarcastic about such a question. My counter-question was “Is it only Ajebo that flosses?” Later that week, someone else made a comment that got me more confused about Ajebo and ‘Ajepako’.
I was coming from heroGARDENS and he was surprised to see me with farming tools. He couldn’t conclude on what I was using them for, so he decided to ask me. I told him I have a garden and he laughed me to scorn. “You fit farm?” He asked rhetorically. He advised me not to waste my time and little energy in starting up a garden.
Meanwhile, he asked to see how far I’ve gone to know the extent to which I’ve wasted my time…
When we got there, you need to see the surprise on his face. Instead of looking at the farm, he changed his gaze and focused on me with his lips ajar. “I though you are an Ajebo oh” was his first comment after recovering from what seem to be a shock.
My question now is: “Who/What is an Ajebo?”
