I know of one who caters for her entire family(mum and two brothers) with such lifestyle. After their dad died, their rich inlaws left them with nothing. While her actions are not justifiable, she is determined to pull her family up rather than let them pull her down. I only know of this one because she's a family friend.

And did I mention she's doing way better than me doing a regular 8-6 job and still searching for a dream job? She bought a car for her mum last year and is planning on building her a house soon

There are times we need to ask ourselves questions and answer them truthfully.

What I’m talking about today is the reason some ladies will leave everyone they know in a state and go to the city to stay without a job or handwork.

Personaly I don’t see why anyone will love to leave his or her beloved family to spend time in another part of the country without a genuine reason.

Their(ladies) reasons most times are, They want money, spouse, They need to be free from parents and everyone they know, a job etc but they don't know that in so doing they have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Thats why you see them Being used in the relationships, Guys see them as spare parts element and not wife materials, the very unfortunate ones are being killed for ritual purposes.

It breaks my heart to see the pitiable life they live here.
You see them cooking and washing for guys. Some are even married without their parent's knowledge. On sundays they would be praying for a guy to ask them to cook for him so that at least their would be something to eat. Crazy things like that.

There are those that have moved into the permanent site(Prostitution).

There is one around here, the only time she sleep at home is when she is seeing her period. No job, oh sorry, she is got a job. Her job is her relationship, she is got more than five guys that are dating her.

And there some (goshcry) that date sugar-mummies(lesbian sugar-mummies).

Typing the stuffs they do here just to survive will definitely give me keypadtriosis.

I know that some of them do succeed and make money but every other thing seems to be against them.

My questions are:

1: Why leave your village when you know that you don't have anything serious to do in the city?

2: Is the money worth what they pass through?







Nd do you think they are girls for nothing?

A lady can live in the city without a job and without prostituting. The ones You met are probably career prostitutes hiding under the cover of 'no jobs'

If you think this is a female bashing thread then your hands ain't clean and your path ain't straight.

You may be rigjt about my path and hands but why must it be ladies and women always? When its not about them not getting married, it about them living as single ladies all alone.....

What a backward society you all have and celebrate. Are any of those the reason BH is making Nigeria ungovernable or Buhari is trying yo take over from the one you guys call clueless? A group of people refusing to use their time meaningfully to think out good initiatives only coming tough on why women should this or that. Haba

Some live with relatives
some squat with friends

some have money sent to them by boy-friends somewhere
some live on NYSC savings
some have handworks like bead and cake-making
some do home lessons
...the list is numerous bro

In Abuja here, it's different--almost entirely. Most of them are runs girls/ashi.

How do they cope? The same way they've being coping without a job in the village. Some are not even assured of 3 square meals a day in the village, so why not branch out to urban areas with more job opportunities.

There are some that get legit jobs like cleaning while others may go into prostitution (cos thats what you probably are trying to point out with this thread), just the way some guys come from the village to the city to start doing armed robbery and kidnapping.

Truth be told, most of our parents n grandfolks that relocated from their villages to the city didn't do anything sinister and they still managed to make it big in the city. Village people seem to have more drive to succeed than even those born n bred in the city

I got what she meant, I understand that too but majority are in it for different reasons. My question still stands, will the end justify the means? For me, there is absolutely no good way to do bad things. You can't say that a guy who is into robbery so that his family can survive is doing the right thing. There is always a better alternative but some people are to lazy to find it.

Sometimes, i wonder how some ladies who earn 100k or less in abuja can afford pricey apartments in gwarinpa, maitama and other highbrow areas, it just doesn't add up

For the unemployed:: Please look for a good freelance website where you can work remotely(writing, research, design jobs, virtual assistant work) etc and still earn enough to take care of your expenses.It will help you to hone your skills and improve on your self-worth while paying your bills

How do you know that majority of them are in it for different reasons than poverty in a poverty-stricken country without any social security system people can fall on?

Do you know majority of them? Are there any statistics?

You cannot compare prostitution to robbery. Prostitutes help people and at worst harm themselves. Robbers hurt others to help themselves.

What other alternative has a lady got in Nigeria if she cannot find a job and has to feed her illiterate mother and her younger siblings?

There's no justification whatsoever..I went to a bar on friday night and i saw some Ashhh/runs chiks flaunting their goods and at the same time i saw other ladies in uniforms serving drinks, others making shawarma by the side and others making pepper soup and Asun and i got to know that the lady making the shawarma owns the shawarma spot which she started two years ago.... you and those hardworking ladies chose the honourable way while your friend chose her path, the path of dishonour and there will be consequences..There is no excuse, your friend could have worked her way up and not by selling her GOODS..

You couldnt have said it any better..Poverty is not an excuse to get into 419/armed robber and prostitution... There's a more honourable way...The armed robbers and the runs girls are surely not the first and wouldnt be the last to find themselves in those difficult situations..They have chosen their path and there will be consequences...One luv

You created this thread because u feel it's wrong for a lady without a job to leave her family house and go live in the city, in a way that's judging them. That's why I used a case study of someone I know to explain that some don't want to stay back in their family houses because they take up the responsibility of catering for that same family, and maybe they feel getting a regular job won't cut it for them.

Well I wouldn't know if what they go through to make the money is all worth it, but they wouldn't keep doing it if they didn't think so. Don't be confused Mr, I do not and will never support a girl going after men for money to survive, but if a grown lady chooses that path for herself, then goodluck to her.

I've grown and learnt to live my life by my own principles and not minding how others choose to live theirs. Do you get my point now?

My dear............ I hate blaming the government for our personal problems which are most times a result of bad decisions we made.

There is no country on earth that do not have prostitutes and runs girls, not one.

Ok, you are in this country and so are other countless decent girls that struggle(in a decent way) to survive, so why is their own different?

There is one runs-lady around here, she is from benue state. She is well known for linking young ladies to old papas and recruiting young guys for mamas. She is from a rich home, I know her family in benue state. Her dad has a school and drives infinity jeep but the lady is here at abuja fvcking every fuckable thing.

Can you tell me that poverty is still her own reason?

No way dear, it is in her system.

Nigeria's government cannot be blamed enough so I disagree with you.

There are countries in which prostitution is not the result of desperation.

Ok, you are in this country and so are other countless decent girls that struggle(in a decent way) to survive, so why is their own different?

I am not and that makes me even more compassionate to the situation people face in this country.

She is from a rich home, I know her family in benue state. Her dad has a school and drives infinity jeep but the lady is here at abuja fvcking every fuckable thing.

Not everyone considers prostitution wrong. You do, probably for religious reasons but you is not everyone.

I, for my part, am thankful that some women choose this path, if not because they are forced to due to life circumstances, because I believe that without prosti*tues ra*pe would take place more often. Consequently, I am grateful, some ladies do it.

Can you tell me that poverty is still her own reason?

Just because she doesn't do it because of poverty, doesn't mean others don't.

No way dear, it is in her system.

I don't understand.
