A video of a British man recently has gone viral after being fascinated by a Nigerian woman in the United Kingdom who carried her bag on her head.
In the video, the man was so intrigued that he asked to take a picture of the lady. The woman in turn offered to teach him how to balance the load on his head.
Carrying loads on the head is a traditional practice observed in various cultures around the world, particularly in Africa, Asia, and parts of Latin America.
For many people from cultures where this practice is uncommon, witnessing someone balance a load on their head can be surprising or impressive.
