Interview with Pa Agogo on Medagbe Avoseh, Mejai B. M.; Mewhenu, Hosu Peter; Carter-Enyi, Aaron INTERVIEWER: Professor Mejai Bolaji Mike Avoseh RESPONDENT: Pa Pesu Agogo DURATION: 17.38 Minutes NOTE FROM TRANSLATOR: I decided to operate mainly in the third person masculine gender (he/him) for convenience, not gender insensitivity. Prof. Mike Avoseh (2019 Fulbright Scholar to Nigeria) interviews an elder of his community, Pa Pesu Agogo. In the early 1980s, praise-singer Yedenou Adjahoui came to Ere, Ado-Odo, Ogun State to commission the Community High School (Toyon). During Adjahoui's performance, he referred to Pa Agogo as "Pesu Mẹdagbè". Prof. Avoseh uses this anecdote as an entry point into the Ogu concept of Mẹdagbè, which has some similarities to the Yoruba concept of Omolúàbí. The Ogu are an indigenous people of Lagos and Ogun States in southwestern Nigeria. The ten-minute interview explores the concept of Mẹdagbè from the respondent's perspective.
