An Abiyoyo is a monster from African folklore. Parents tell their children to behave and go to sleep if they do not want it to take them away in the middle of the night.
History[]
According to a song by American folk singer, Pete Seeger, Abiyoyo had once appeared in a town after blocking out the sun. It began terrorizing the townspeople and eating livestock. But then came a boy and his father who were recently driven out of town. The former because he was always playing his ukelele and the latter because he kept making things disappear with his magic wand. So the boy played a song to distract the Abiyoyo so that his father can make it disappear.
