PROSTITUTION is as old as the hills. However, in contemporary Nigeria, it has taken new dimensions and character. The red-light areas located deep in the metropolis still remain intact. Men whose libidos are charged visit such surburbs for quick sex far from the eyes of their wives. For that breed of the male sex, variety is the spice of life.

Medical reports attribute the ravaging incidence of Human Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV) to the activities of prostitutes who are the ultimate conveyers of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Men in their lust defy the warning that the disease has no cure. For the prostitutes, the vocation is a duty in the grim battle for survival.

Young ladies of easy virtue are now ubiquitous - in the hotels, clubs, bus stops, public markets, roadsides and along the busy highways. They solicit for clients openly. They have lost their shame. Morality has gone to the dogs. The ends justify the means.

New brands of prostitutes are springing up. Society girls date rich and powerful persons including politicians in high places. Office girls tempt their bosses with their pretty faces and passionate smiles. Campus students seduce academic dons for high scores and excellent passes in semester examinations. Female shop assistants provide customers with complementary cards and mobile telephone numbers. The bottom line is money by hook or crook. As the musicians sing: money for hand, back for ground.

Nigerian ladies have lost their reserve, reticence and pride. Materialism is now the vogue in the rat race and the struggle for survival. There is a pressing need for an ethical revolution. Government should restore the pride of Nigerian womanhood by providing more job opportunities, scholarships, bursaries and more educational chances without tears. Destitute widows should be given soft loans to do business or engage in profitable occupations. Laws must be reinforced to make prostitution deplorable. Societal customs and traditions should revive the stigma of prostitution in whatever form it thrives.
