That nobody talks about it, does not mean it is not in existence. There are professional escort services all over Nigeria. ‘People and Places’ took a sneak peek into one of these agencies; well, they claimed to be a charity and a directory, simply known as ‘Codedruns’, a top online escort directory. The directory specializes in providing companionship for men, and sometimes women who are willing and able to afford quality time with members of the opposite sex. The management revealed that the site receives 1.9 million visitors from Nigeria monthly. By far the biggest escort directory in the country, the ease of ordering an escort is just like Taxify and Uber complete with a review system. The website of the directory, www.codedruns, to be honest is well designed, you get the feeling the people behind this business are not messing about. We scanned through a few profiles and decided to get direct views of the registered escorts.



The first escort we spoke to, who didn’t want her name mentioned revealed that the site is god-sent as they escorts don’t have to stand by the road side any longer, under harsh weather conditions to ply their trade, as they now run their business online. “A client will typically browse the site and find who he fancies, then sends a message to know if we are available and then we negotiate the cost. We prefer hotels or residential homes in choice parts of town. We also offer in-call as well – whereby customers can visit and engage us in our houses.”

Most of the escorts we spoke to said they make an average of one hundred and fifty thousand naira and two hundred and fifty thousand naira weekly. The later when they (escorts) subscribe for premium and appear on the front page. However, they revealed that some clients can be naughty and want to cut on the agreed price, but majority are nice gentlemen. The website also have blacklisted clients, which warns escorts of reported dangerous clients or ‘osho free’ client, as well as blacklisted escorts to warn clients of fraudulent escorts.


Our most shocking revelation was with Queen, a premium escort who revealed that she used to be a banker but resigned when she learnt of the directory. “I used to earn forty thousand naira monthly at the bank, which required travelling around Lagos looking to sell bank products to already frustrated people; and getting molested, and sexually abused on numerous occasions. Truly, people don’t know what these marketers see, yet the bank managers are never happy nor grateful, but now I make that amount in two days as an escort on the site. The secret is to ensure your profile is on the front page by subscribing to the weekly premium and Feature service.” she said.


On skimming through the website, we found a contact number and decided to reach out to the admin to ask a burning question on our minds. We got hold of who appeared to be the site admin; a well-spoken gentleman- Mr Jeff, and proceeded to ask the question if such a site doesn’t promote prostitution?

He quickly replied, with a well-rehearsed statement saying: “Look guys, we don’t do that, in fact we see our establishment as a charity; protecting the lives and working conditions of “Working girls” and guys.”


“We don’t charge a penny for registration for both escorts and none escorts, registration is absolutely free. We don’t recommend or solicit any escort for clients nor do we solicit or recommend clients for escorts. We don’t take any commission or cuts on “tributes” paid to any escort for their “time”.

“The men and women who pay escorts are not paying for sex but rather are paying the escorts tributes for their time. Whatever then happens between two consenting adults behind closed doors is their prerogative. So do note it, we are a charity, a directory, a listing, but never an Escort Agency!”

We then decided to get a feel of this website. On registering as a female “independent escort”, complete with an overtly sexualized female photos, we headed back to the office to make our report. Within the 45 minutess trip back to the office, our glamorous profile on the site had received 150 views and over two dozen phone calls. In 45 minutes!


This is truly astonishing, if this experience is a snapshot of the rate by which Nigerians have become sexualized. And just wonder, how many of those dozen callers are married men?

How about the Lady that resigned from a bank job to do escorting...

in a country with labour laws,she wouldn't likely face the working environment she endured at the bank.the idea of casual workers in a bank earning stipends is extremely bad. casualization at working places should be banned. however, greed is always involved. when a lady can make twenty thousand everyday selling sex,many of them would choose to sell out of greed.

Seriously na so bank work don bad reach? 40k a month ?

This should make front page

funny

This is not supposed to be anybody's headache. Escort services is worldwide!
Besides, what two consenting adults do behind closed doors shouldn't be my problem. Sex is a natural thing! The body naturally calls for it when it needs to get relieved.
Men and women must fucckk and since rape is a crime, those having consensual sex should not be shamed, otherwise, rape will become inevitable.
However, safe sex should be emphasized while government should do well to improve on the economy so that people can have the means to get married on time.

Guys biko, learn 2 hold urself. C hw Follow business is turning into big business. Nobody will pay us guyz 2 excort them anywhere, except of course if u want 2 b bobrisky.

Shut up!

Why not tell Nairalanders you're the owner of the site instead of your guerrilla marketing!!

It's a cool concept though. I have a gay friend who's an escort and he makes good money from his encounters with men and women. So much so that he got a car from a VGC man who decided to go exclusive with him.

Im not the owner, just an avid member on the site. Admin urged the members t help promote the site .
that cant be a crime, is it ?

Now how do we get this to the front page ?

And how's this news? It's just like saying humans eat to survive

Guess what? you can monetize your articles on Wikiafripedia!

If you like it, feel free to publish to the Wiki

Imagine if Wikipedia was like that...



PS.
Wikiafripedia aims to empower Bloggers as YouTube is doing for Vloggers.

Contrary to what one might think, monetization doesn't make knowledge less free instead, it might empower the contributors of knowledge to make knowledge even more available.




PPS.

All Wikipedia Editorial policy except the GNG (General Notability Guidelines) which on Wikiafripedia is RNG (Regional Notability Guidelines) applies there, but the RNG enables Wikiafripedia to accepts Regionally Notable topics like the BLP of of the AYE President (the current president of the largest entrepreneurial organization in the world), whose article was said to have failed GNG on Wikipedia about a year ago now shines on Google from Wikiafripedia.

That means, Google for example is much more interested on a well written piece so, if you have a well written piece worthy of an encyclopedia article like SW Peters - it would certainly meet the first page of Google.

It doesn't matter to search engine whether you published it on Wikiafripedia or Wikipedia. What matters is that it be well written.

But if you choose to published it on Wikiafripedia, you can monetize that your article with responsible ads like those from Amazon, and earn revenue based the strength of traffic that it drives from search to itself.
