Controversial Twitter influencer, Daniel Regha, sparks a buzz by proudly showcasing his newly crafted boxers made from leftover Ankara fabrics. In a recent Twitter post, he displayed four pairs of boxers, highlighting that he spent only 2000 Naira to create them, including the cost of workmanship and elastic bands for each pair.
The influencer revealed that he spent as little as 2000 to make the new set of shorts including the workmanship fee and elastic band on each.
“Just sewed 4 boxers using leftover fabrics for N1,600…😀. So I had few yards of fabric which I’ve been saving, cos I never let a tailor keep or waste my extra materials. I figured why not put ’em to good use by sewing some boxers; All I had to do was buy some elastic of N400 & my obioma tailor did the rest….,” he wrote.
However, the reaction to his post has not been overwhelmingly positive while some argued that he appears to be romanticizing a poverty lifestyle.
