A video from a Nigerian hairdressing salon shows an unfriendly confrontation between an apprentice and her boss after the salon owner slapped her for arriving late to work.
In her reaction, the apprentice demanded a refund of her registration fee.
When her boss refused, she allegedly called in local thugs (egbon adugbo), who stormed the shop and confronted the proprietor.
In the commotion that ensued, the apprentice was seen grabbing wigs and hair extensions before fleeing the saloon.
The incident has sparked online discussions about the frequent tensions and lack of structure in Nigeria’s apprenticeship system.
