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.
