Few days ago, a picture showing Nollywood actress Mary Njoku with her hair totally shaved off went viral on social media. However, many didn’t know about the drama that played out before the actress could get such look for a movie she was working on.
Via a series of tweets, her husband Jason Njoku revealed how a ‘racist’ Lebanese barber based in Nigeria refused to give her a haircut. Read what happened afterwards:
”Mrs Njoku wanted to get a hair cut in Ikeja GRA. (I cut the one she is currently sporting and have been away this week) Saw a Lebanese barber tending the salon. He aggressively raised his voice
‘this is not one of those your Nigerian salons where you people pay N200 for haircut’. It was just her so she felt a little upset and definitely threatened. She left. His lucky I wasn’t in Nigeria.
Anyway. Straight to the police station to make a complaint. He was invited for questioning. He started with ‘he doesn’t cut Nigerian hair.’ Once they asked about his immigration status he started begging that he was so sorry. Offered Mrs Njoku, DPO everyone free haircuts.
Sigh. Just to clarify. No one accepted the hair cut. The case is still with the DPO.”
