Papa Ajasco: The show

Wale Adenuga is the creator of the Nigerian family sitcom Papa Ajasco and Company, which first aired on television in 1996 under the name The Ajasco Family. The television program is an offshoot of a feature film of the same name that was directed by Wale Adenuga and released in 1984. That film, in turn, was adapted from the comic book series Ikebe Super.

The Ajasco family and their satirical takes on significant problems facing society are at the center of this narrative. The primary cast of characters consists of the womanizing patriarch Papa Ajasco, his long-suffering wife Mama Ajasco, their mischievous son Bobo Ajasco, a local playboy named Boy Alinco, a promiscuous gold-digger named Miss Pepeiye, and two ignorant scoundrels named Pa James and Pa Jimoh. During its peak, the comedy series Papa Ajasco was largely regarded as Nigeria’s most popular television program overall, and it was shown every week in a total of twelve African nations.

Papa Ajasco and Company: What is it all about?

Papa Ajasco and Company is a popular Nigerian family TV program that was created in 1996.

The prolific producer of ‘This Life’ and ‘Super Story’ series, Wale Adenuga, created Papa Ajasco and Company as a spin-off of a movie bearing the same title, which was produced in 1984. Wale Adenuga revealed that the lead character in the popular comic ‘Ikebe Super’ inspired the lead character, Papa Ajasco.


Papa Ajasco and Company, which was also known as the Ajasco Family, centers on the lives of the Ajasco family and their interactions with neighbors and friends.

There’s hardly any household that didn’t anticipate watching the comedy series every week. The characters, Papa Ajasco, Mama Ajasco, Bobo Ajasco, Miss Pepeiye, Boy Alinco, and Pa James, are hilarious characters that kept us glued to the TV. Every 90s children will definitely relate to the phrase ‘Ojigbijigbi!’ and the comical walking steps of Boy Alinco

The comedy show makes use of comic interpretations to reflect on major societal issues.

Papa Ajasco is one of the most popular TV shows in Nigeria to date. The television show debuted in Ghana in the year 2000. Papa Ajasco earned the award as the ‘Best Comedy on Television’ in Ghana. It was also watched in African countries such as Guinea, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.

    Madam Efunroye Tinubu

    -
    Born in the Egbaland of the Yoruba people of West Africa at the beginning of the nineteenth century, Tinubu learned commerce from her grandmother, a successful trader. As a young woman Tinubu married a local man and bore him two sons, but she was widowed following the family’s migration to the town of Abeokuta in 1830. Shortly afterward she met Adele, a deposed king of Lagos, married him, and moved with her new husband and sons to the coastal town of Badagry, where Adele was temporarily recognized as ruler. Tinubu arrived in Badagry at a time when the then illegal Atlantic slave trade was peaking on the eastern Slave Coast. Although her sons soon died, she used two slaves, allegedly a gift from her father, to trade between Abeokuta and the coast in slaves and other commodities. Never again blessed with children, she invested her growing income from trade in slaves and other retainers, beginning the process of amassing personal followers and expanding her commercial operations.

    Nigerian Athletes Living Like Beggars In Glasgow

    -
    Some of the athletes who will be representing Nigeria at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow are crying over their condition since their arrival in Scotland over the weekend. With the Games set to kick off on Wednesday, delegates from the participating countries are already on ground and could be seen on the streets of Glasgow, especially around the games village, rightly fitted with track suits bearing their national colours. This is in contrast to the Nigerian athletes, who confirmed that they have not been supplied with kits and as a result they are dressed in different colours. Only those participating in the track and field events have kits, from other events they took part in. Others have no kits says, a senior Nigerian athlete at the Games, “it is embarrassing seeing Nigerian athletes in tatters,” he continued, adding “some are even wearing bathroom slippers." “The athletics team was lucky to have their own personal kits from previous outings.
