Nigerian prostitutes are not happy with
the way foreign prostitutes are taking
over the business from them in their
own country.
They are bothered by the influx of
commercial sex workers into Nigeria,
especially those from West African
countries like Ghana, Togo, Benin
Republic and Burkina Faso. To this end,
members of the National Association of
Nigerian Prostitutes (NANP), led by new
President, Tamar Tion, has vowed to
sanitize their industry and chase out the
foreigners who have taken over a large
chunk of their clients.
In a statement signed by Tion and her
secretary general, Sandra Efosa, the
Nigerian prostitutes are not happy that
while they struggle to make ends meet,
the foreigners have also compounded
their problem by trooping into the country
and taking over their trade.
“In view of the prevalent economic
situation in the country, the officials of
NANP, have resolved to take up arms
against prostitutes from other countries
who have invaded Nigeria and have taken
over our customers.
These ladies leave their countries,
especially those from Ghana, Togo, Benin
and Burkina Faso, and come here to
struggle for the few customers willing to
patronise us, thereby making things
rather difficult for us.
We will not accept that. This is what we
call invasion. We do not want them here.
We have studied Nigerian men and know
that many of them prefer going for these
foreign prostitutes so that they would
boast to their friends that they have also
slept with foreign women. As a first
measure, we have embarked on
nationwide registration of all our
members so that we would be able to
weed out those who are not Nigerians and
force them to back to their countries.
“Another thing we have noticed is that
these intruders charge ridiculously low
and our customers prefer paying the low
amount to get their services. We would
not accept that. Also, remember that a
few years ago, Ghanaian prostitutes rose
up in arms against Nigerian prostitutes
operating in their country and many of us
were chased out.
”Now is pay back time.”
