Nigerian man, Mohammed Albarnawe, has made his claim in fame when he came to Germany and started balancing things on his head while riding his bicycle. Mohammed started doing this as an art form since he was a child in his hometwon Bogo on Lake Chad.
He fled Nigeria via Norway to Germany because the terrorist group Boko Haraam was trying to kill him.
“When I came to Germany, I didn’t take a language course. I approached people and this method helped me immediately to learn the language, ”says the joyful Mohammed in an conversation with Express. “People are happy when I drive past. It’s important that we also have something to laugh about. “
