Ajepako

Check fo my easter weekend update below this post.

Had a conversation with a friend over the holiday over ajebutter and aje paki,and then I saw this email that was sent to me sometime ago by a friend.

Ajebota vs Ajepaki

AJE BUTTER VERSUS AJE PAKI (CASSAVA).

> If you step on a nail and bleed, you might be 'Bota,
> If you step on nail and bend it, you're 'paki!
> If you see the words Madam, Sir or Esq after your folks name on an

> But if people refer to your folks as either Mama-Bebi, Mama- Chukwudi,
or Baa Lamidi, you are NOT ajebota!
> If you have your home periodically fumigated with scentless pest

> If your folks carry wallets and purses, you're possibly an Ajebota.
> But if your mom reaches into her bra to get money in the glaring eyes of

> If, after using the bathroom, you have an assorted barrage of scented
