They are so scared of an Igbo man leading this country, thinking that abandoned properties they acquired after the civil war may be revisted and taken back from them.

U need to wake up.
The igbo (marijuana) is a dirty street slogan for marijuana that not even globally known. Na for naija it ends.
Google does not even recognize it as a marijuana variant name.

Anybody that said so doesn’t know history. Apart from the fact that You Ikwere people Originated from the Igbos, If there’s any other tribe in Nigeria that I love after my tribe (Igbo) is Ikwere people. I have one special love for them maybe because of their culture I can’t really say but my love for them is too much coupled with their very pleasant language.
Meka o nwenem
