Looks impossible but it is indeed possible and real. A massive display of culture by daughter of the head of traditional barbers known as Sarkin Wamzamai in Kano.

Wanzami,(Wanzam or Wanzan) is a local barber, traditional healer, medicine man, circumciser and a physician in Hausaland. Wanzanci, as the occupation is called, is one of the oldest professions in Hausaland.

The work a wanzami does is very vital in society. A wanzan is held in the same regards as a doctor back in the days. He is usually the first call when a baby is born, removal of tonsilitis or when there is a serious illness.

Just like her father, the head of local barbers, the young lady is getting attention for her talent of piercing needles through her tongue.
