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.
