    Nikky Okyere came from Ghana to the UK with a dream of becoming “the biggest barber in the world”. Now he cuts the hair of #EPL stars like @wilfriedzaha and @sakobakary26. We'll be live from his London barbershop at 7pm on http://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica  watching him work his magic.pic.twitter.com/QmhDH4qt9S

        Fun fact - his surname is pronounced [or-chree] , not [oh-ki-yereh] or anything close. It messed with my head the first time I was told.

        Similarly there is a #Somali barber who owns a barbershop in London. Football stars from the various clubs in the UK come to his barbershop for their hair cuts to mention one of these stars is Mahrez.
