@OAM4J, RASTAMANN & MARVIX una talk wey jare.

leave pipu wey dey say make dem ban all doz love peddlers, dem neva jam hardship daz y. i know what i'm talking about and make nobody think say i dey support doz love peddlers but i my own be say, na condition make crayfish bend, so if no be condition, crayfish go strait like ruler.Owu dey town now so make una free doz gurls abeg.
Just b'cos of hardship, so many guys don travel go abroad. some dey do 419. some dey do kidnapping, some turn armed rubbers, some went for money ritual, some dey do yahoo-yahoo, some has even involve themself in a lif and death biz (saling cocain) all in the name of hardship, and the worst part is that, so many lifes has been lost just b'cos of hardship, i.e. thinking on the road and was hit by a hit and run driver, suicide, etc. their's a company in china name FOXCONN.  manufacturers of "i phone, ipod, mp4, mp5 etc. if i can recall, let me say the last suicide worker died about 3weeks ago and the victim is the number 12th to die by suicide in 11months now. some of them have been complaining to their close friends that the salary is too low and they can't save some money with dem after xpensis and they gat no other job to do if they quit the present job that they'r in, and the hardship in the country is too much. what the china boys do is snatching of handbags, phones, jewelrys etc, just to feed. so if u ask me or to my own opinion, i'll advice doz naija politicians to face the right things to do, they know the real problems of the country, why going for something that is not even 1quarter of nigerian problems?   and somehow i think their's a hidden agenda on that ban b'cos somebody can't just wake up 1 morning and decide to ban prostitution. something wey don dey b4 dem born am?  . .even b4 his for father's were born prostitution has been there so why ban it then?  . . .well, na him sabi sha, i believe say 1 of his (the politician) favourite love peddler's disapointed him that was y he had to go for the ban. maybe he called the gurl (love peddler) to come and pass the nite with him and along the line, the gurl has been hooked up by another runs man and told the politician that she's not feeling fine (menses) that she can't make it. so the guy got provoked with the reply from the love peddler with bad konji wey hole am, 'em com paranoid come wake up d next morning and gave the order (ban). i know of so many gurls wey don become bread winners b'cos of that biz and even send 2 or 3 of their brothers to abroad. so make nobody just put eye for dem again abeg, dey were not born into such biz, na condition cause am. make we mind our own biz, and i stil believe that, even the politician himself believes that the biz (prostitution) will still continue so make we just bone dem, no be dia fault!

my opinion, thanx!

many love-peddlers in Abuja are not so because they are starving, but because they want to live a lavish lifestyle.

The point is, Nigerians today value money above absolutely everything else. We all saw when Ethiopians were actually starving to death, with all their renouned beauty did you hear of a prostitution problem, or their mothers sending them to ltaly to go and sell themselves? No, they have a certain amount of self respect.

most just want to live a flashy life through a short cut and prositution for them is that opportunity.

I do feel for the plight of these girls, but many love-peddlers in Abuja are not so because they are starving, but because they want to live a lavish lifestyle. Many of them actually have jobs by day, but sell their bodies by night/weekend. Many of them are in University, fully paid by their parents and given pocket money yet they still come to Abuja at the weekends because as usual the allure of quick cash and material things is just irresistable to many Nigerians. Armed robbers in Nigeria are also frustrated and poor graduates, I dont see anyone saying they should be left to carry on their way of making money. Mothers are sending their own daughters into prostitution abroad, should that be accepted aswell? After all its the oldest profession as people are saying.

Who knows how many of them are infected with AIDS or other diseases helping along with their customers to spread it across Nigeria.

I sympathise with those who have lost parents or are homeless, but those I believe are the minority, most just want to live a flashy life through a short cut and prositution for them is that opportunity. I do believe the government should train them though.

^^I know it's a wrong deed but at the moment that's all they have to do to make a living so why disturbing dem?

i have to disagree. i doubt that the love-peddler on the street is doing it to live a flashy life etal.

what you are referring to are our casual campus call girls who are chartered for governors' weekend parties, aristos, etc.

those yes i agree. they are all about flash and big girl.

but the love-peddler by the corner - barely educated, trying to make ends meet - i don't think so

my pt just made me realize that this is just typical naija hypocrisy, get rid of the street love-peddlers, but leave the hig class ones in place for the senators.

like telephone, ashawo is not for the poor

^^^thanx for your manner of response.

i believe prostituting is not the right job to make an end meet but i can never blame some1 that is prostituting just to make an end meet b'cos that's what the person gat to do at dat moment to meet up. the peeps dat'r also supporting the ban have never tasted the other side of life, i believe if they have gone through such situation, i believe they'll even go more lenght to the prostituting.
