    The IJGBs Will Never Beat These Allegations, According to X

    From the OAU student who washed clothes for 50 hours to the longest wig babe and several Nigerians that took a shot at the Guinness World Records — you may be the only one that’s left out. Ranging from ridiculous to impressive, these are the Nigerian attempts at GWR.

    Written By:

    It’s that time of the year when the “I Just Got Backs” (AKA IJGBs or Nigerians abroad) return to the motherland to check on their family and loved ones.

    They’ll bring out foreign currencies, accents will flow left and right, and these allegations will remain around their necks.

    Wannabe ballers

    All IJGBs do is show off the superiority of their foreign cash. And now, naira can’t even fight back.

    Money speaks 

    IJGBs will trigger your lover’s release clause with money and abroad rizz. 

    Passport tactics

    Any small thing, they’ll brag about their red and blue passports. 

    No rizz without money

    The moment these dollar and pound sterling people surprise your partner before you, it’s all over.

    Don’t let them tell you lies

    All IJGBs are liars. If you snooze, they’ll give you cold zobo.

    Look before you cross the road

    If you don’t shine your eyes, you might find yourself becoming a genital meet-and-greet statictic on someone’s scoreboard.

    Consistently inconsistent

    They only remember their Naija crush at the end of the year. When the new year comes, they’d leave and ghost till the next holiday.

    Cut your coat to your size

    Don’t let peer pressure injure you.

    IJGB or “ijogbon”

    IJGBs will break your heart and ghost. Is their real name not “ijogbon” (trouble)?

    Beware of bed bugs

    Prevention is better than scratching your body and fighting little assassins that suck blood.

    It’s touching everyone

    Your friends abroad might want to leave out the fact that the current inflation is a global phenomenon.
