What's amazing is that Seun Kuti, the last born of the late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti recently admitted in an open interview that he takes 'Igbo' to cool off and relax and nobody is raising any highbrow about it. The other
day Tonto Dikeh displayed a picture of indian hemp with on her timeline,
virtually everybody lampooned her and called her all sorts of name.
Here's what
Seun said, "The Indian hemp should not be abused. It is good for mankind. I
take Igbo (Indian hemp), but not for performance. I take it to relax and cool
off. It is ideal for good sleep, arouses appetite, used to treat cancer,
relieves pains, clears the head and relaxes the nerves."
He also
said the government frowns about Igbo as illegal, "Our
government sees Igbo as illegal because it is a black man’s inheritance and not
from white people; maybe if it was from Europe like cigarette, it would have
been legalised.
We are just
fake people who don’t believe in our own abilities, but only rely on anything
from the West. If Oyinbo man says something is right, then it is right and if
they say it is bad, then it is bad.
Our
government should first provide me with the basic, social amenities before
telling me to stop smoking Igbo because I take it to reduce the psychological
frustration I get from government’s inabilities. They are criticizing Igbo, but
there are junkies are all Nigeria now sniffing cocaine and other hard drugs."
