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.
