Based on the novel The Lekki Headmaster, what skill did Mrs Ignatius begin learning to support her family abroad?

Mrs. Ignatius began learning tailoring and hairdressing to support her family abroad. In preparation for her family's planned relocation, she took up these practical vocational skills so that she could earn a living in the new country. The novel mentions that she learned various hairstyling techniques, including traditional Yoruba braiding styles such as Suku, Onilegogoro, and Kojusoko, alongside tailoring.

These skills represent practical, portable trades that can be practised anywhere and do not require formal recertification in a foreign country. Mrs. Ignatius's decision to acquire them shows a pragmatic approach to emigration: rather than relying solely on her husband's income, she prepared herself to contribute financially to the family after relocating.

The other options are not what the novel describes. Mrs. Ignatius did not learn accounting and clerical work, cloth weaving and Adire (a distinct textile dyeing craft), or photography. Her chosen skills were specifically tailoring and hairdressing.
