A Nigerian hairstylist has sparked controversy and outrage after a video surfaced showing her instructing her apprentices to lie on a soakaway slab as punishment for not cleaning her shop. The video, which was originally posted on TikTok by the hairstylist with the username "mimitouch4," captured the hairstylist yelling at the workers and threatening to physically harm them if they did not comply with her orders.
In the video, the hairstylist can be heard urging someone off-camera to film the apprentices lying on the slab, stating, "video them so the whole world can see." This request for public exposure further fueled the public's outrage over the incident.
The video quickly gained attention on social media, with many condemning the hairstylist's behavior and demanding justice for the workers. Some individuals also used this incident as an opportunity to raise awareness about the exploitation of workers in Nigeria, particularly in the informal sector.
Various reactions flooded the comments section of the TikTok video, with users expressing their disapproval of the hairstylist's actions. Some commenters suggested alternative approaches, such as correcting the workers or sending them home, rather than publicly shaming them. Others shared personal experiences of mistreatment by employers and emphasized the need for change.
