"Efulefu" is a term from the Igbo language of Nigeria, often translated to mean "worthless" or "fool." It refers to individuals who are perceived as lacking value or purpose, particularly in the context of societal expectations. The term gained wider recognition through its use in literature, notably in Chinua Achebe's novel "Things Fall Apart," where it highlights themes of social status and identity.
