Apamaku! The Mysterious Mango Tree at Ado Grammar School, Ado Ekiti
Do you know what Apamaku is? Simply put, it represents the agrarian determination to survive against all odds.
This is precisely the story of the Mango Tree at the front of Ado Grammar School in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State. Once a grand and towering tree, it was felled several years ago.
According to the gateman at Ado Grammar School, the stump was besieged by termites and other ants, festering on it. Yet, despite this adversity, the tree demonstrated remarkable resilience. What will be, will be.
Zoom in on the pictures, watch the video, and witness this extraordinary example of nature’s tenacity and the unyielding spirit of Apamaku.
