Fon Ayo Gbe

"Ayo!" is the Fon greeting that means hello, welcome, and I am glad to see you, all in one word. Beninese greetings are never rushed. You ask about the family, the health, the children, the harvest. Skipping straight to business would be rude beyond recovery. Today honors the art of greeting properly, which is the foundation of every Beninese relationship.
