Papa Ajasco Biography, Wikipedia, Age, Cause of Death, Wife, Children.
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.
