It was reported few weeks ago
that the Association of Nigerian
Prostitutes (ANP), the umbrella
body of commercial sex workers
in the country vowed to declare
one week free sex should the
Super Eagles of Nigeria return
home with the African Cup of
Nations trophy.
We also exclusively reported that
the association sent over 113
members to South Africa to
cheer the Eagles to victory in the
final cracker against the Stallions
of Burkina Faso, which Nigeria
won by a lone goal.
It was gathered that shortly
after the victory last Sunday, one
of the ringleaders approached a
top member of the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF) who
was in South Africa to watch the
match about their promise.
"He chased me and asked me to
go to hell," the lady told our
reporter on telephone.
When asked if the promise was
just for the Eagles or the entire
country, the visibly angry lady
replied: "Either for the Eagles or
the country, he doesn't have any
right to tell me to go to hell, we
are human beings. We will send
in our press statement shortly,"
she added.
A statement made available to us
on Sunday and signed by the
General Secretary, Jessica Elvis
reads in part.
"The Association of Nigerian
Prostitutes (ANP) wishes to
congratulate the Super Eagles
and indeed the entire nation for
the successful outing of our
senior national team in the just
concluded Africa Cup of Nations,
South Africa 2013. We are happy
just like every other Nigerian.
Shortly after the victory on
Sunday, one of our leaders met a
top member of the Glass House
in South Africa and informed
him of our planned 'free booz'
for the Eagles when they return
to the country, but he outrightly
rejected our offer. He told us to
'GO TO HELL and GET A LIFE' that
the Eagles played with passion
and not because of our 'stupid'
promise.
We want to register our
disappointment over the way
we were turned down after our
full support for the national
team.
We shall continue to offer our
support even as they prepare to
face the world next year in
Brazil," the statement added.
