From UgoDre's Expose Of The Business Of Runs:

Meet a young beautiful lady named Shirley. She drives a Volkswagen Bug, lives in a flat in Lekki, owns a pair of the latest blackberry phones and is an undergraduate student of high flying university. Next is Dami, she is a middle level employee of an Insurance company. She rents a luxurious flat on the island in Lagos and like Shirley is highly fashion conscious and drives a Honda S.U.V. Unlike Shirley though she has a job but obviously cant afford her luxurious lifestyle. However, both girls are your typical Lagos big girls. You can find them in clubs and major events centers around Lagos. You might even have sat next to them on a flight overseas or in some luxurious fashion mall overseas.

So what gives them that extra income that allows them afford the luxurious lifestyle that they live? It all boils down to an asset, an irresistible asset. An asset that most men lust for and will do anything to have a piece of, even if it's for a night. These girls don't just give their priced asset away for pleasure, it comes with a hefty price, both materially and physically.

By now you must think I'm talking about prostitution. Your close but dead wrong!.Lately it's become rebranded, remodeled, fashionable and a lot more socially acceptable. At times some say its part of "fun". You don't have to stand on the street anymore to practice it and you probably don't need a love-vendor or a brothel to be fished out. All you need is a phone, not just any but a blackberry, the very latest. You also need not come from a poor background or a broken home or be an orphan. Even the rich "spoilt"ones indulge in it. Look, even chics who have good jobs do it too. So the stigma is minimal if there is even any. Also, it need not be with a man, even women need intimate satisfaction. Its no more prostitution, it is DEAD, reborn and simply called RUNS

Some make an average of N20k a day by just having some "fun" doing "runs". Multiply that by 25, you get N500k a month. To put it into better perspective, that's about a take home pay of an average Bank Manager with a wife and a child. In some cases, suitors buy them cars and often pay their house rents. Their trips abroad are sponsored by men or women as the case maybe. Ask a lot of guys out there, 1 out of every 5 girls you meet expect some form of monetary compensation before or after consensual sex. If its not love then its got to pay the bills. It's no more about mutual likeness, payment is an instinctive responsibility of the host.

Take a subset of 100,000 girls who you will typically refer to as "chics". We trim that further to 20%, giving us 20,000 chics who indulge in Runs in Nigeria. If you then multiply that 20,000 figure by N10,000 and then by 25 days and finally 12 months, it gives you N60b in annual income that is made by the 20%. Or simply put N200m a day. Forget my purely arithmetic valuation as it excludes inflation and other factors that will frequently be included. Whatever measure is used won't differ much and even if it does, might even be more alarming. And remember I excluded rents, cars and other gift items and used a grossly conservative figure in my valuation. It's no wonder child trafficking and female prostitution is a billion dollar business in the world

So, in the unlikely event that you come across Shirley or Dami someday, don't look down on them. See them as investors or business owners or even professionals in an evolving, dynamic and multi billion Naira industry -RUNS.

Are you horrified or, like me, just intrigued?

Lol na today?

Interesting!!!

those girls make good money- its a very profitable business provided you dont catch a disease or get used for rituals.

and dont mind the fact that its a form of p.rostitution.

one or two good weekends will net you enough to pay your school fees, buy fancy clothes, shoes, and various modern appliances you need in your home or room.

the interesting thing about living in nigeria is with the right placement, you get to meet people from all walks of life- the rich, poor, and in between.

rich girls from poor homes [do the math], poor girls from rich homes [figure it out- absentee dad], rich girls from rich homes, poor girls from poor homes, etc.

Interesting!!!

That is caused by the craze to live above their income/means they even call it escort services in Nigeria now

No one is innocent and i can like intimacy as i do and sit here and judge but the sheer thot of having intimacy with different men even on a monthly basis makes me want to puck, I will have no self esteem or diginity left.

The gals i am intrigued with are he ones who get the rich boy / man with the big koko and is the love of his life and he hers, The Victoria beckhams of this world.

The gals who see the future and marry a furture diamond the Michelle Obama of this world.

The gals who simply fall in love with their own Alfa male the Beyonces

I have never been a runs fan and will never be, money is important but not over my pride and sense of self worth, I am the 1st to advocate getting a F buddy if you need the *** but a steady one at that with condo.m et all.

Again not judging but def not for me.

bhusayor:

Interesting!!!

i would kill u if u dare engage in such

[b]"Runs-girls", a glorified Nigerian term for LovePeddlers, shouldn't be a surprise to anybody living in Nigeria. Ladies have always been in this business since time immemorial, and the fact that it has crept into our universities is not in any way surprising. The ladies who are involved in it are adults, they have consented to it, they derive material benefit from it, and in most cases, they enjoy doing it; so we shouldn't begrudge them.

What I find mortally reprehensible is when I hear a bunch of "holier-than-thou" ladies condemn "runs-girls" for no logical reason whatsoever, other than it being "immoral" to them. Yet these same "holier-than-the-pope" ladies sell sex to their boyfriends in exchange for cash, is that not "runs"?! IMO, whatever consenting adults decide to do with their bodies is their business alone; there are much more important issues bedevilling us, than a bunch of ladies who wilfully decide to pursue the world's oldest profession! [/b]

Nigerian men must have the weakest game in the world. That's why they over-price pussy. I really don't understand how beautiful a girl has to look or how tight her pussy has to be to deserve 50k for a night of sex. . .let alone buying her a car or a house in Lekki. Fine and voluptuous girls are a dime a dozen here, so why do these useless men with zero game just throw ridiculous amounts of money at these cheap, filthy s.l.u.t.s? Big girls my ass.

And btw did the writer of the article say "1 in every 5 girls" you meet would demand some form of compensation before or after consensual sex? He must be nuts; its more like 4 in 5, if not 5/5. Almost every female in this country commoditizes and commercializes her pussy, even the married ones.

Wow

But I am not surprised, It happens here in the states too, we just call them jump-offs ( smdh- Shaking My Damn Head), Its to the point that we TV shows which glorify it. If I catch anyone female that I care for doing this I am going to just say " Everytime you accept an offer , the demand of your Kat will get lower", Walls do talk and disease ( both physical and mental) do spread around quick"

You are what you make friends and sleep with !!!

Should I be surprised by this? Dis one na old gist!

.NET

.

nothing for broke ass boys be dat oh, where u wan make I see dat kain money?, 50k per night ko?, 10M per day ni!

This essay only brings to the fore, probably on this forum, a satiric expose of the elevation of prostitution-and sadly, the loss of moral inhibitions and consequent coarsening of social sensibilities- under cosmetic labels of "runs", "taking care of me", "happening gal/guy", etc.,,that our society has descended to. And, one that suggests how rabid and warped, our adoptions of other civilizations can be or lead, even when cushioning institutions that obtain elsewhere are nonexistent here. The decay may well be in it's inchoate stage and, could spell doom-or in the nature of the nihilist charter prediction by Nietzsche, a demise- for whatever shreds that remains of our society.
It's crass opportunism, buoyed by capitalism, the failure of institutions and government, and a materialistic and consumerist approach to life and in dealings with others, that has won us this opprobrium as Africa's largest exporters of sex slaves and barons. What's news is the erosion of any distinction between age long prostitution and the make of modern day "relationships". Under, different labels such as those above, the quest for financial gains and, the reduction of any course of action or interaction to a transaction, have robbed us of humanity and the descent to chaos and the dark ages as we know it.
We could still rescue society by enabling the family and long standing tripods that made ours work, as no dispute exists to that fact, with the re-invention of self first, before others.

Not surpried at all, Hoeing has going on since the beginning of man, its the worlds oldest proffession and just because they don't stand on street corners anymore means nothing.

A Hoe is always gonna be a Hoe.

As long as there are men with money to spend on side pieces , there will always be fast women looking to make a quick buck

Ok Mr. Seun what's the idea of this shit post? Encouraging? Or are you into the runs?

Nigerian men must have the weakest game in the world. That's why they over-price Kitty. I really don't understand how beautiful a girl has to look or how tight her Kitty has to be to deserve 50k for a night of sex. . .let alone buying her a car or a house in Lekki.

i'm also not sure why nigerian men pay so much for casual s.ex.

Do they tax their incomes? Almost all girls wey you jam for lagos now dey into runz , even the ones for church

Ok Mr. Seun what's the idea of this poo post? Encouraging? Or are you into the runs?

Bros-man!

Don't get these broads started (bolded above). They will tell you that you are stingy for not splurging all for the sake of the "P."

Little do these men know that they can actually get laid for free.

Are most of the clients of Runny Girls are OYINBO or Nigerian men?

Smh @ buying puzssy for $1,000 or more. Even those first class Asian,White and Hispanic ho's in Nevada are way cheaper. . Some stinky Nigerian chick kitten

Proinstitution , for the love of the the game!

That's why I asked were the clients Oyinbo or Nigerian men.  Oyinbo men will fly to Africa and pay that much because they feel they are paying premiums for "exotic" toto and only for a minute pleasure. 

I was playing around on youtube and there is a video posted by a white man who bragged about getting an African girl.  He was belittling the girl by peeing all over her and making her do things that are illegal in 40 States.  The girl was taking it with a smile. 

The video has over 100,000 hits!

Brosman Claremont!

You will get these broads started again oo. You want to wake up that "stingy man" thread again. That thread was an anaconda!

Almost want to think the entire Nairaland contributed to that one!

But I do agree with you. The "holier-than-thous" like to point fingers and demonize these runz-girls yet they are all in the same occupation. It's just that while runz-girl present themselves "AS IS," the "holier-than-thous" present themselves "AS IF." To me, that is same job description but different job title.

the business would continue to strive as long as we keep have drooling perverts everywhere
the thread is barely on the 1st page, and i ve just counted 6 of them.

Some of these girls do the "runs" when they cant help not doing it but quit
when they become self-sufficient and later get married to responsible men.
