I.J.G.B. (I Just Got Back) is a Nigerian slang term for a member of the Nigerian diaspora that has just returned to the country after an extended period abroad.[1][2][3][4] It is an acronym for the phrase I just got back, which is considered a common utterance by returnees that indicates their disconnect with Nigerians in the country.
