below...I know say na yankee we dey, but you know how they say you can take a
homie out of the ghetto, but you can't always take the ghetto out of the
homie....let's see.....
......Are you an Ajebota or an Ajepaki?
If you step on a nail and bleed, you might be Bota,
if you step on a nail and BEND IT, you're paki!
If you see the words Madam, Sir or Esq after your
folks name on an envelope, you might be an Ajebota...but if people refer
to your folks as either Iya-beji, mama-bebi, iya Bintu, mama-chukwudi,or Baa Lamidi, you are NOT ajebota! If you have your home periodically fumigated with
scentless pest repellants so it's virtually roach and termite free, you
might be an Ajebota....but if your aim with either your Cortina or
Skoll can nail a flying cockroach to the wall, you're an Ajepaki!
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 the public, your Paki is level 5!
If you have a borehole installed in your compound
for year round water supply, you might be an Ajebota, ...but either you
have a irrigation system or the middle of your head is hairless
due to having logged on 65,000miles from hauling pails of water,
you're an Ajepaki! If, after using the bathroom, you have an assorted
barage of scented toilet tissues to choose from, you just might be
an Ajebota,..but if you use water to 'tamba' yaself, you're
an Ajepaki! If you brush,rinse,gargle and floss, you just
might be an Ajebota....but if, after chewing your Pako,you can spit
the pako-paste 40 yards, your pakiness is considered level 10!
If you had underwear that had the elastic bands at the waistline, you could be an ajebota,....but your
underwear looked like the flag of Ghana, with about 7 colours like rainbow and had a drawstring, you're DEFINITELY PAKI! If you happened to have wandered into a
neighborhood during Ileya and got amazed by the fact that people found
ram-fights amusing, you might be an Ajebota,.....but if YOU took the ram to
fight after feeding it with 'igbo', you definitely Ajepaki!
If your home had sophisticated theft deterrent
systems like barbed-wires,dogs, a camera and an alarm system, you
might be an Ajebota,....but if people are scared to scale your fence
because of widely spread rumors of your folks having installed a
'SHIGIDI'(whatever that is), you're an Ajepaki! If you went to a hair salon in naija to get your done, you just might be an Ajebota,..but you and your 'onidiri' sit for six hours on an Apoti under a tree while she did your hair, you're PAKI of the highest order!
