A routine haircut turned into a life changing moment after Delta businessman and philanthropist Daniel Omoyibo, popularly known as Danmotech, gifted a barber ₦5 million to start his own business.
Danmotech had planned to leave the salon after failing to agree on a haircut price with another barber. However, a second barber, Suleyman, invited him to his chair and attended to him instead.
While cutting his hair, Suleyman revealed that he worked for the salon owner and hoped to open his own shop one day. He estimated he would need ₦2 million to ₦3 million to get started.
Moved by the barber’s ambition, Danmotech surprised everyone by announcing a ₦5 million gift. He encouraged Suleyman to use the money to rent a shop, buy equipment and build his own business.
Danmotech requested the barber’s account details and transferred the money on the spot. A visibly emotional Suleyman said it was his first time meeting the businessman, while those at the salon celebrated the unexpected act of generosity.
The video quickly went viral on social media, many Nigerians praised Danmotech for empowering the barber instead of simply giving temporary help. Others described the gesture as a reminder that kindness can change lives in an instant.
