I Felt Cheated – Nigerian Father Reacts To High Cost Of Daughter’s Hair In UK

Dr. Uche Nworah, the former Managing Director and CEO of the Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS), has expressed his frustration over the high cost of braiding his teenage daughter’s hair.

Nworah revealed that it cost him £100 (approximately N200,000) to have braids done for his daughter, Lotanna, who started secondary school in the UK on Wednesday, September 4.

“AdaEzeudo Goes To School. My daughter Lotanna is starting secondary school today. She is posing here with her new hairstyle, which she and Ugomba conspired to take £100 from me for,” he wrote.

“After paying for it, I went back and punched my calculator. In Peter Obi’s voice, I felt I had been robbed. Over N200K spent on a teen’s hair that will only last weeks. I made a mental note to sneak in when she is sleeping and shave her head.”

Nworah also shared a conversation with his daughter about his own first day in secondary school, recalling the excitement of making new friends and reading Eze Goes To School in his first year. He prayed for her success as she begins this new chapter in her life.

“I offered to take her to school, but she bluntly refused. I remembered that rebel feeling. Big girl things,” he added.
