A recent event that disrupted the annual sales of Nigerian entrepreneur Priceless Dr Chi, who specializes in wigs and human hair extensions, has generated a stir on social media.
Videos captured the chaotic situation as several ladies taped posters with insults at Dr. Chi all in an attempt to cease her sales.
The Nigerian entrepreneur was reportedly selling wigs at cheap discounts, which had an adverse effect on the protesters’ businesses.
Dr. Chi in an Instagram urged everyone to leave the area and to cease fighting following the destruction.
She added that she had no bad intentions with the organization of the fair but instead wanted Ghanaians to also benefit from it as a way of celebrating her 40th birthday.
“Just seeing some of these… don’t worry please… kindly leave the venue and stop every form of fight you guys are putting up against anybody. I and my team have left. Please go home. I will not crash the hair prices in Ghana for them, and that is well understood… Thank you Ghana market women, una don win. One love one Africa,” she said.
Sevral social media users expressed outrage over the Ghanaian traders’ stunt, claiming that they had the opportunity to take part in the sales and repackage the wigs for later sale at a higher price.
Others expressed that it was not news because many African nations view Nigeria as a danger, which is why they interfered with the fair.

Iamshadk101: “Make she calm down. Madam you still make profit. Just do it reasonably so others can make their gain as well”
Ifenyiwa_joy_chiamonwu: “This is just the beginning of what’s to come. The US and UK will soon follow suit. This is exactly the outcome of voting for bad leaders because “he or she is from my tribe”. Their bad name eventually rubs off on we citizens wherever we are. Both home and in diaspora. We must learn the hard way. I don’t blame any country that choose to close their doors on our faces.”
