Jimmy Ofuoyan, a Nigerian-born hairstylist, has explained why he offers free haircuts to strangers in Pescara, Italy.
Ofuoyan recently became popular news on social media after demonstrating his altruistic side by cutting the hair of several people in the city’s heart.
In addition, the young Nigerian entrepreneur gave several strangers a free shopping spree.
He took the concept of giving to a whole new level by offering free haircuts to complete strangers.
He ascribed his generous gift to his accomplishments in the craft, which he began when he was 12 years old.
Ofuoyan has come a long way to achieve this level of accomplishment, having begun hairstyling at the age of 12.
He said he had mastered and practised the craft in Libya Prison and would practice on his own head and others.
He said, “I was born into hardship but thankfully today, I am better and this is my way of giving back.
“My life depended on it and me proving I’m worth keeping alive and had something to offer to my captors and others in the prison camp.
“I never had the chance to use a clipper based on the situation and place I found myself in those days. So I’d only use a Razor blade and a small comb as a guide to do a fade and blend the hair”, added Jimmy Ofuoyan.
