Zainab Balogun, the popular Nigerian actress, has ignited fresh online conversation after posting a lengthy, candid message addressed to Nigerians returning home for the December holidays — the well-known IJGBs.
In her Instagram video, she said she needed all the IJGBs doing Dirty December “in Ghana, Nigeria, wherever” to step forward, because local vendors are apparently dealing with them seriously this season.
According to her, this December inflation is something the returning crowd partly created.
Zainab explained that IJGBs keep making content bragging about getting “$60 braids” and cheap services, which she and others previously warned against. She said those posts opened vendors’ eyes and encouraged some of them to swing to the extreme of overcharging.
She shared an example of someone who supposedly paid 800,000 naira for braids, and a total bill of 2.5 million because the extensions were “human hair–infused.”
Zainab made it clear she believes locals won’t pay these prices — the inflation is strictly seasonal, and IJGBs will be the ones to “chop it.”
