no one is judging them but the simple fact of it is that there is not excuse for prostitution.if polish,estonian,brazillian e.t.c girls can work in factories,in farms to earn money without resorting to prostitution then nigerian ladies have absolutely no excuse.its like saying an armed robber has an excuse for involving him/herself in that vice

stillwater:

Why are Nigerian men into fraud? What's their excuse if other immigrants can live in the same country without tainting the image of their birthplace.

sam79:

Aside hydrocarbon, Prostitution, fraud and drug are d next foreign exchange earners for Nigeria and indeed Africa.

thameamead:

a pretty girl I spotted looked like she was was finished, she was pretty, lots of the men were staring at her but she looked like she was lost, she looked like she had lost direction, she need someone to find her a map, I wanted to chat to her but she blanked me, it was really sad. She was Nigerian, i could tell by her accent when some Arab men were chating to her.

Okija_juju:

Most of these girls dont know better jor!

Some had no idea what they were going over there to do, all they know is that outside of Nigeria, you can make it big.

Kobojunkie:

What does "blanked me" mean?

aribisala0:

it is easy to be smug in front of a computer. the real world is different.
not every LovePeddler does it willingly.
have you spoken to or interviewed any. some arrive in europe at 13,14 and their passports are seized. some are locked up. some have babies seized . etc many of these girls come direct from villages in Edo state after swearing oaths with their parents' consent. it is not as simple as you think
the analogy with armed robbery does not work.
prostitution is legal in most european countries
the real issue is that many of these girls are illegal migrants brought in by gangs and so they cannot work legally
there are lots of brazilian and polish LovePeddlers just like there are nigerian farm workers. in london all nationalities are represented in prostitution
difference is many nigerians are brought in by human trafficking cartels who can and do kill to set examples .
they spend money on travel documents and airfare and they intend to be paid typically up to $80000 per girl over many years. of course not every girl they bring in is rewarding ; some are deported,run away,die etc so they have to be ruthless
so find out more so you can talk from an informed perspective.
in italy it is very serious business involving the camorra mafia they take a cut . much of this information is on the internet and you can talk to naija guys on ground too

in the early days this scenario you have painted was rampant especially in italy and this is basically because it was an underground thing that the government did not know existed. now the italian government know this exists and are pro actively working to nip it in the bud. the italian government have structures in place specifically to safeguard vulnerable girls besides this,unless a girl is blind,deaf and dumb in nigeria of 2011 there is absolutely no way she won't know what goes on in italy, hence saying you were told that you are going to get a proper job is being economical with the truth, a woman comes into your village and picks only girls no men for years on end to italy and you have no idea whats going on?

its just like the over used excuse LovePeddlers give when asked why they are in prostitution,they say they are using it to fund their way through school or have to take care of their family or because there are no jobs.

i agree with you that a lot of money is involved,however this is precisely what attracts those girls into doing it,especially as employment is hard to find in italy,spain e.t.c a self respecting girl will rather do any menial job rather than sell herself for thousands of dollars.the point is that there are choices and they have simply decided to go for the more lucrative  choice.

aribisala0:

plausible but i am afraid rather naive. truth is many young children are still sold across africa
many are in lagos as houseboys/girls. it is the same in gabon and ivory coast. a lot are used to work on farms or similar tasks. often they are sold by parents or so called guardians.
one doe not need to go to europe to see it. the money does not enter the hands of the kids.
in lagos there are places you can Be Intimate with kids of 10 11 12  for money
in many african countries like cameroun e.g white people come as tourists specifically for this . i am not saying everything is the same all i am saying is please spare us this sitting with my key board this is exactly how all of life is routine. there are hundreds of stories out there. quite often there are no choices. i know i have seen . i wasn't told

lucabrasi:



the point of my preamble is that[b] the girls doing this kind of job in europe had that mind set before they left this country[/b].the few examples i have given above are young girls both in nigeria and abroad,many of them from well to do/wealthy homes who should ordinarily be insulated from poverty and any such ills which might push them to prostitution.

lucabrasi:

^^^^^^
for every girl being forced to LovePeddler do you know how many do this out of their own free will?

stillwater:

I feel the ladies are better off in Europe, they have a better chance of being protected than their birth country. The ABSU incident springs to mind.

Kobojunkie:

Problem I have with the attitude of some Nigerians abroad is they are still so stuck in that Nigerian mindset that they do not realize the authorities/law is there for their good.

logica:

You actually think a girl straight from the village can figure this out? Or you actually think someone who believes some mumbo-jumbo she recited while Unclad in front of some effigy will kill her if she reneges on an agreement can figure this out? There is a reason that such people are usually rescued by a concerned citizen informing the authorities or a lawyer: ignorance.

Kobojunkie:

This is not about being straight from the village. Once one enters any new land, one ought to immerse oneself in discovering what is available, where the exit doors exist, opportunities etc. If the same village girl were to move from the village to, say Lagos, she almost immediately goes out learning what Lagos has to offer etc.

logica:

And you think a girl brought into Italy illegally will have the confidence to go explore Italy? Even worse, you think a girl literally kept under lock and key except when she's dropped off around a corner actually is street-smart enough to know how to plot her escape? Just be grateful that you come from an enlightened background (my assumption). If you come from a background where ignorance is worn like a cloak you need help. You can't help yourself. Case closed.

Kobojunkie:

This is not about being straight from the village. Once one enters any new land, one ought to immerse oneself in discovering what is available, where the exit doors exist, opportunities etc. If the same village girl were to move from the village to, say Lagos, she almost immediately goes out learning what Lagos has to offer etc. And this is why I say that for many of these girls, there is a link to the parental unit and how they were raised.

I am not speaking of any particular group but in general. Even Nigerians here legally get caught in this mistake of not understanding how the system is not in place to OPPRESS them but to embolden them.

Kobojunkie:

There is absolutely no question about that. The women are better off in Europe, [size=13pt]especially if they are legal and know to run to the authorities when harmed. Problem I have with the attitude of some Nigerians abroad is they are still so stuck in that Nigerian mindset that they do not realize the authorities/law is there for their good. [/size]
