ANSMEDIA:
Woman Barber Makes Waves In Awka South

There are some sights that are not so common in this part of the world. What would you say if you see a young lady working as a bus conductor, or palm wine tapper, or more so, a barber.

Our Correspondent, Ejike Abana came in touch with a young lady who works as a barber in Nodu, Okpuno, Awka South Local Government Area.

For many young girls, hair cutting as a business is not an option. Call it Christmas hustle or not, young Miss Ifeyinwa Ogueli, an undergraduate of History and International Relations at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, is enjoying high patronage and making significant income as a female barber.

According to Miss Ogueli who hails from Umunachi, Dunukofia Council Area, growing up in the midst of her brothers as the only girl in the family, fueled her passion for that line of business.

She, however, frowned at the attitude of some male customers who refused to allow her cut their hair assuring that she has a magic touch.

She emphasized that anybody can do any job, irrespective of gender, and asked young people, especially ladies to develop themselves by acquiring any skill they can, as it may turn out to be very useful in future.
One of her customers, Mr. John Okoyeb noted Miss Ogueli does her job professionally more than most male barbers as her hands are soft.

Men, how will you feel having a woman give you a haircut?
