Because if you do not have authority to work in the UK or USA you are wasting peoples time by asking your questions!

Go away and study up on visa and working requirements.

In March i was in Manchester and most places barb 10 pounds i was luck to find a place to barb 7 pounds. you do the calculation, this is something that cost me N200 here in Lagos.

I've being planning to open a thread on this matter.
I would not advise anybody to migrate solely for the purpose of becoming of a barber.

However, if you are going to study or do other legitimate business, then you are going to be in a good position.
People often look down on plumbers, electricians, barbers and the like here in Nigeria

until you have to shell out 80dollars to call your plumber shocked (This guy just came , did tum-bom-tum-bom, and left in less than 20mins)
or 100 dollars to your tailor for her to sow your ankara
or 20 dollars to get someone to make your hair.

If you can a skill before you travel, please do, you'll save (or even make extra ) cash.

Just ask Amefrica, CFCfan or saxywale

Sure, barbing is relatively lucrative here in the U.S. The average rate they charge here in NY is about $15( that's 3k naira).

You can't get any from Nigeria...the closest is student visa but it will not allow you to do business, you can work 20hrs a week during term time.

In your situation....you will not be able to get any visa from Nigeria that will enable you to live, work or do business in the UK or US

Again not really...first you need to finish your studies, get a good result then apply for work permit...but your chances are not great because it's not easy getting a work permit
