Opting for a more cost-effective solution, he purchased a clipper and started shaving his own hair. This tale of personal grooming and financial savvy, as shown by @cheif_oyiboqueen, resonated with viewers, propelling the video to viral fame.

Aliu Abdulazeez, a barber in Abuja, commented on the man’s fate:

“Nigeria is still doing well in some areas. For us here, we charge even less than half a dollar which is expected to be affordable to all. For me, my haircut is 600 naira. Sometimes, I collect less if someone speaks to me about their condition.”
