Mine was 'joko pepe'. When we first heard the word, we asked our mom's friends what it was. They said it's 'something'. That some are blue, some are pink and some are yellow. It got us excited, as we just got back from US and didn't understand a word of Yoruba. I will never forget the day my mom sent my brother and I to our aunt's house nearby to collect 'joko pepe'. We ran there in excitement.... we sat for hours.... 5 Likes 1 Share |

Laitesmart: It was not a joke oo... Actually I got to know itz ARODAN when I grew up I know it to be "EWE-IJOKO-PEPE(LEAF OF ENDLESS SITTING DOWN) if am right My mum came back from work that day, I was disturbing her to give me money for biscuit (kid stuff) little did I knw she will play a fast one on me, after I continue to disturb her, she finally agree but under 1 condition "u will go to( baba Temilorun we live in the same Street)to get me EWE-IJOKO-PEPE(ARODAN), back then our area was still new and we do get vegetables like Bitterleaf,ewedu e. t. c from this man (Baba Temilorun) I just thought EWE - IJOKO - PEPE (ARODAN) was another type of vegetable, I dashed out of the house, ran as fast as my leg could carry me, on getting there I met baba Temilorun conversing with a man Shylishly i told him " my mother told me to tell you that I should come for EWE-IJOKO-PEPE(ARODAN) on hearing this he didn't act suspicious it was just normal, he only ask" do you want it in large quantity? "I nodded in affirmative, then he told the man he was conversing with to shift so that I could sit, then called his Wife that" David is here for EWE - IJOKO- PEPE OO After 5mins, noting show up, 10,15,20mins no show. After 1 hr it was still pending like ecobank network during ileya festive season. After 3hrs of sitting I was released what of the leaf? I asked he said don't worry just go home On getting home I told my mom what occurred she just said don't worry. My three sisters, my mum and our neighbours were just making jest of him it was an unexpected coup Like IBB /GMB stuff, still I didn't get the picture, I was like what's funny she send me on an errand and I went there, didn't get the stuff, came back home, narrate the issue to her, then you start. Making jest of me individually and in conjunction Later 1 woman came to fetch water in our house, she met them on the jest making she was told what transpired. She called me and narrate the meaning of ewe-ijoko-pepe, ewe(leaf) IJOKO (sitting down) pepe(long period of time), my mom then told how it was used in the olden days to teach a child lesson and also to improve his brain expect u are dull EWE-IJOKO-PEPE,(ARODAN or any equivalent name ) is meant to be used on a child once in a life time, all her children have gone through this and all of us fell for it, so I was not alone but am the latest It was then it dawn on Me that I have been played for the past 3hrs+, I got the picture late like the dead staring at his own obituary. Since then I have kept the lesson in left hand that when I gave birth I will use it on my children. I didn't know itz still in existence We yorubas we are just too sophisticated in everything am sure ARODAN was discovered by an uneducated man 6 Likes |

EnlightenedSoul: ARODAN doesn't mean My journey shall never end actually,but when I was in secondary school, senior students sent the junior ones to go ask another student for a book called "My Journey Shall Never End", then that one sends you to another one and on and one till a good samaritan decides to put you out of your misery by letting you know you're on a wild goose chase . |
