To begin with, Bola and Asi shouldn’t have known that Meji the son of Bola and the father of Asi. That he was a spirit. The first reason why they shouldn’t have realized he was a spirit is because Meji made it very hard for them to even think of him as a spirit. Meji encountered his family, touching and talking to them as if he was never actually dead. In the story Meji was carrying his daughter on his back and walking around with her while his mother went to the store. His daughter Asi didn’t notice anything that was truly out of the ordinary. When his daughter asked about why her father was wearing a scarf he replied with because “my head might fall off”. That just sounds like a father trying to joke around with his daughter.
