Quotes
A lot of people will see me and commend my pidgin. You know how comedy became popular when everybody wanted to centre their comedy around Warri. Everybody wanted to speak Warri Pidgin. But first of all, Tegwolo is my story. I was stubborn as a child. I was a prayer point for my mother. I was a third child, but I was that child who must replicate anything I watched.
Ajebo in an interview
Tegwolo was created as a cartoon brand. It’s a cartoon series, but children started latching on. Presently, Tegwolo is exporting our culture. I get a lot of feedback from ‘Ajebota’ children in the UK and the U.S. People say this is the closest touch of home their children have because they begin to speak a little pidgin once they start watching it. So now we are saying there is a vacuum somewhere.
Ajebo in an interview
I noted somewhere that I would crack jokes using animation. That was the beginning of my journey.
Ajebo in an interview
I have always been creative. I have always loved to tell stories. And, with my comedy background, I just wanted everything to be about comedy.

Fatherhood has saddled me with a serious responsibility.
