DISCLAIMER: the views present here make a hefty generalisation and in no way constitutes a prejudice against people of Ijebu descent :D It is a spin off of a tt and so majority of them are other people's views. If u find it offensive, you can like to go somewhere else. Its strictly for laffs.
So apparently, Ijebu people (in case you dont know, Ijebu is a community close to Lagos state) have a reputation of being miserly. Now, I dont know how true that is, seeing that am an Ibo boy. But stereotypes rule the world so people shaa went in on the trending topic #ijebuism to give expressions to the most beautiful mizer attitudes people display. Im only going to pick my top twenty funniest.
So here they are, in no particular order...the things #Ijebuism causes are:
1. Getting high on cough syrup. (weed is not just as cheap as it used to be abi?)
2. Building your house with one window facing the neighbours living room so you can watch TV from there.
3. Mixing Tony Montana deodorant with water to use as deodorant.
4. Writing your name as 'Homorlorlah' and when you pronounce it , you still pronounce it as 'homorlorlah' (okay, that wasnt miserly but apparently ijebu people are the kings of h-factor) so ijebu people like to hEAT hEBA!
5. Going alone on your honeymoon because a trip for two is too expensive (chei, iDead)
6. Chewing agbalumo skin until it changes to chewing gum.
7. Pouring water inside beaten egg before frying. (also applies to dusting the sugar off your doughnut so you can use it to soak garri later)
8. Cutting agege bread into a U shape so it looks like a croissant
9. Washing sanitary pad so you can use it again (wince!). and before yu guys walk away self righteously, some of yall do the same with condoms =)
10. Bathing with your clothes on so u can wash them at the same time.
11. Having a Polo shirt where the horse is holding the stick and chasing the guy.
12. Using one beat for all the tracks in your album. (What do you say 9ice?) or rapping into the spinning fan so it will sound like autotune :D
13. As you outgrow them,u cut ur trousers into 3 quaters, then shorts, then booty shorts, then pants. (why u no make am g-string too?) HABA!!
14. Pouring Zobo into a Nuvo bottle. (if you dont know what nuvo is you need to #slapYourself
15. Uve graduated but you still hold ur UniLag card just to watch movie for cheap (I totally know someone who did this, but I shaa no go talk)
16. Pricing school fees.
17. Lapping ur babe at the cinema
18. Asking people to remain the liquid for you when they're taking cereal so u wont have to buy milk.
19. Using aluminium plate for TV antennae.. (I kid you not, this happens)
20. Having two TVs on top of each other becos one shows pictures and the other one gives sound.
Like I said, there are countless others, to sample all of them just go here . Thats it folks. If ur my friend and have ijebu blood, i mean no harm. Like i said, its all for laffs. abi ur doing ijebu with your laff too?
i concur wit sme of wat u said abt d ijebu's bt oda tribes have key in into it also.bt one tin u 4gt to mention is, ijebu's are so stingy.
