.

atleast marijuana has inspired many 9ja artistes. the likes of burna boy, sample ekwe, danfo drivers, naira marley et al are living witnesses. the hit songs jogodo, am i a yahoo boy? are products of "igbo" inspiration...

So, over 180M Nigerians, only 20M smokes weed??

Too poor, we need to increase our consumption rate please. We need to show our African brothers we are not mate in anything.

Those statisticians that carried out the analysis only did it to make us look bad, they should have make use of percentage not the actual figures, We are the most populated country in Africa so what do they expect,
Divide our population into 10 different countries and Divide the 20 million into 10, then you will see our new rank.



But naija people dey kpom!!

Giant of Africa. Stay high in any chart.

Weed relieves the head and mind from stress, it is one of the ways people relax and forget all their sorrows, in a country as hard as Nigeria, smoking weed was always going to be a rampant.
Before buhari's second tenure ends that number of smokers would be twice of what it is now.

There's an opening for the post of a cleaning and fumigation personnel.

The candidate must have prior knowledge of cleaning and pest control (fumigation). He must be neat, hardworking and trustworthy. Ability to communicate in English is a must.

The candidate must be ready to resume immediately.
There's provision for accommodation but the candidate must have a very sound knowledge of how to operate the fumigation machines. This is very important.

Including your grandmother

Incredible!!
That's why we are THE GIANT OF AFRICA

It's not a surprise....




It's a shithole country... That's the only way they escape the next level depression ...

If not suicide rate will be high especially in the South west

Rubbish statistics...
Where is South Africa?
More than 50% of my colleagues there had
tasted Igbo before they left high school.
It is even legalized there.
So they mean 2 in every 10 Nigerians smoke
weed?
RUBBISH.

How do they calculate this thing?

Our government should see this as a sign
