Some Ghanaian women who are part of a Wig Sellers Association disrupted a wig sales event organized by a Nigerian wig vendor at Makola market in Ghana. The event was reportedly held by Priceless Hair, a company run by a Nigerian woman. It has been reported that the Nigerian vendor had set the prices for the wigs very low, which caused concern among the market women who feared that it would have a negative impact on the market. This prompted the Ghanaian wig sellers to disrupt the sales event.
A viral video that has been shared online shows the market women holding placards with words telling the Nigerian vendors to go back to their country as they halted the sales.
According to sources, the disruption occurred due to the heavy discounts offered by the Nigerian vendor, which the Ghanaian wig sellers perceived as a threat to their livelihoods. This led to the disruption of the event, which caused a stir among those present at the market.
The incident has sparked controversy online, with some condemning the actions of the Ghanaian wig sellers as discriminatory and xenophobic. Others, however, have supported their actions, citing concerns about the impact of the discounted prices on local businesses.
