If you've read any of Barack Obama's books, you'd know as a teenager he used to smoke weed, and snort cocaine.

He promised Michelle he would quit smoking before running for president – he didn't
Igbo or what does he smoke?

He ate dog meat, snake meat, and roasted grasshopper while living in Indonesia

I had a feeling he is from Calabar or Ondo for his dog eating skills

He keeps on his desk a carving of a wooden hand holding an egg, a Kenyan symbol of the fragility of life

Jazz no wonder he pummelled McCain senselessly
