.ahh. some men with their over inflated ego.

By Simon Ateba, Kazeem Ugbodaga & Paul Sanusi

Following the expose of the nefarious activities at Lagos nude clubs, where young ladies dance stark naked and practice live sex on stage to entertain their patrons, the state government has wielded the big stick by shutting them down.

The Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Monitoring Unit which raided the four strip clubs on the Opebi-Allen axis of Ikeja also arrested 33 naked dancers and two of the clubs’ managers.

The four nude clubs are Club Unique, Wallstreet, Cazzbah and Magic City formerly known as Ocean Blue.

Club Unique is on Ogundana Street off Allen Avenue while Wallstreet is located at 70B Allen Avenue. Magic City, formerly called Ocean Blue, is located adjacent to Sweet Sensation Bus Stop and Cazzbah is adjacent to Opebi Bus Stop.
•Some of the strip dancers arrested during the raid.

P.M.News gathered that before the raids on the clubs were carried out, some task force officials had visited the clubs disguised as patrons. They monitored the clubs’activities for a night before raiding them in the wee hours of the following day.

Chairman, Lagos State Environmental Taskforce, Mr. Bayo Sulaiman, told P.M.News that the state government shut the clubs as a result of public outcry over their existence.

Sulaiman added that most of the clubs had become hideouts for criminals and undesirable elements.

He stressed that the strip clubs were not registered and were not regulated.

Immediately the report over the activities of the nude clubs was published, the Archbishop of Lagos State, Anthony Cardinal Okogie, lamented that evil has completely taken over Lagos and called on Governor Babatunde Fashola to act immediately to arrest the trend by shutting them down.

“Evil has taken over in Lagos State. The way things are going, when girls of between the ages of 15 and 25 dance nude and throw caution to the wind with boys and men watching them, then they are sending a wrong signal to the society. It portends danger. We are sitting on a loaded gun,” said Okogie, in a statement signed by the Director of Social Communications, Lagos State, Reverend Gabriel Osu.

Okogie called on Fashola to act now because the strip clubs are on the increase, while those shut earlier had re-opened with impunity and with a change of name.

“I hope this is not making mockery of Lagos as mega-city, Centre of Excellence and City of Aquatic Splendour,” he said.

While some Lagosians called on the state government not to shut the strip clubs but simply regulate them as adult fun exists in all mega cities, most people kicked against their existence and simply called on Governor Fashola to close them down.

P.M.News learnt that the arrest of strip dancers was dramatic as they did not expect the taskforce visit them in the night.

A 24-year Ghanaian lady,Traore Anida, who was among the strippers arrested during the busting of the club, said she started the job a month ago because she was desperately in need of fund to go back to her country.

She said that she was brought to Nigeria by a woman whom she said is based in the Republic of Benin.

“I need money to go back to my country and there is no other work I can do to get the money fast. That is why I joined the job,” Anida stated.

Emma Ofor, manager of Club Unique who was arrested along with the 33 strippers, said that he joined the club in January this year, adding that poverty made him to accept the offer. Offor said that he could not reject the offer as he was in desperate need of a job.

“That is the circumstance I found myself and it is because of my situation. I was desperately in need of job when the offer came and I just had to accept it.”

Goddy Benjamin, manager of Wall Street Club who was also arrested along with the strippers denied that ladies go naked in the clubs to entertain patrons.

However, P.M.News was there several times, when young girls danced stark naked to entertain guests at Wallstreet.

Benjamin stated that the activities at the club are regulated and the club obtained licence from local government for its operation.

“Ladies in my club do not go naked. They do not dance naked. They always cover their body, they are just like other models and nobody harasses them. My ladies do not dance naked,” Benjamin claimed. However, P.M.News can confirm that the statement is inaccurate.

The Task Force Chairman has called on the general public to supply the outfit with more information on where strip clubs operate.

“We want more information from members of the public of the location of more of such club houses, where such activities are taking place.

“They should send us a message through +2348073238388,” he said.

Pharoh, whats that all about, especially when it says "think about these things"? That verse is not stopping people from anything, except telling people to think about it! Its vague, inconclusive, and cant really act as a guide or guidance of emotion or morality!

yemmight:
You are a goat. What do you mean I should behave like an adult.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Supported and seconded!. How can a fully blooded man with PENIS stoop so low

A 28-year-old Nigerian woman has been found guilty of murdering her 76-year-old husband by a court in The Gambia.

The body of William West, of Hastings, East Sussex, was found near his holiday home in the country in July 2006 after he was reported missing by his wife.

His charred remains were found hidden in a sack, Banjul High Court heard.

Kate West, who had claimed the retired businessman had disappeared in Senegal, was given a life term and told she would be spared the death penalty.

Gambian Police Force spokesman Sulayman Secka said she would be transferred to the state Central Prison in Banjul for the killing of Dublin-born Mr West, who lived in St Helen's Park Road, Hastings, East Sussex.

Remote home

West had admitted his murder at previous court hearings in The Gambia, but later denied the charge.

The couple had been staying at their remote holiday home in the West African country at the time of his death.

As Justice Joseph Wowo passed down the guilty verdict, Kate Atori West was expressionless, as she had been throughout the hearing.

However just minutes later, as he read out a sentence of life imprisonment, she raised her hand to her face and sobbed, then raised her hands in the air and collapsed on the steps of the dock.

She had to be helped to her feet by two female prison guards.

As we filmed her leaving court she shouted: "I am going to smash that camera; don't film me, don't film me."

One of the eight guards escorting her said: "Kate, behave", and they led her away.

West, who was a mature student, had claimed he went missing during a daytrip to Senegal on 3 July, 2006.

She said he simply vanished while she waited outside a convenience store while he bought cigars, so she returned firstly to their Gambian home and then to the UK to look for him.

Mr West was registered as missing when his wife returned to The Gambia and the authorities later alerted Sussex Police.

West initially told police that five Nigerian men had taken the 76-year-old from their luxury property in Sanyang and killed him.

Officers from Sussex Police travelled to The Gambia to help the investigation.

An inquest into Mr West's death in Hastings in May 2007 heard his wife later confessed to murdering him with a wooden pestle before setting his body alight.

The coroner recorded an unlawful killing verdict.

Police 'diligence'

A statement from EMD Law, the solicitors representing Mr West's brother Albert, said: "This has been a protracted and traumatic time for Mr West's family.

"They are pleased that justice has now been done and that Kate West has been brought to account for her crime.

"The family of Mr West have asked me to thank Sussex Police for their skill and diligence in bringing this matter to the attention of the Gambian authorities.

"The family hope that they will now be able to move on with their lives."

Defence counsel Lamin Camara said West planned to appeal against the conviction.

Mr Camara said he would prepare case papers to be sent to the Court of Appeal in Banjul over the next couple of weeks.

"She is gutted about being sent to prison for life," he said.

"She cried very much. She pleaded not guilty to the charge on the grounds that she firmly believed she did not kill Mr West.

"She did confess to the crime originally but we challenged that confession on the grounds that it wasn't obtained voluntarily."

And its chasing matured minds away

spikedcylinder:
Why? The OP posted her feelings as regards a certain issue, how is that a double standard? Or are you one of the selective readers that ignores women bashing threads all the time? E.g the "Why Are All Women Sex Materials And Not Wife Materials" thread. That one flew just past you, didn't it?

spikedcylinder:
She didn't threaten you, she told you to remove her picture from your post -- as a Mod, I could have done it too.

Whilst I admit that the moment you put your photo on a public forum like NL, it becomes public property, you really should have backed down when she complained about taking her picture out of your post -- you attacked her personally.
You attacked her from the very beginning of this thread so I don't know why you got very offended when she attacked you back. You're barking up the wrong tree here regarding your ban, you should be emailing Admin instead.

Personally, I'd be interested in all these your spiritual threats though, they are hilarious!

[/quote]I get your gist okay and let me say this, you might think you sent that message as a MOD but it was really not. You are being scolded as well? so we are expecting that you will be banned as well?

I will not sue you for anything and as a matter of fact self i am off this case before it turns to something else.

Note: I don't give a damn if i get banned and pleading to get unbanned has not and will never be in my dictionary.

[quote author=Ben-10 link=topic=346904.msg4866303#msg4866303 date=1257425193]Everyone has the right to start up threads. The 'accused' made it personal, dear.

Besides, the PM was only a threat, I beleive so cos she doesn't moderate the romance hia. . .the locking and banning of the thread and the 'accused' respectively,  might have been done by the super-mod.

Posters shouldn't post a topic directly bashing another member, I suppose that's in the rules.

His thread deserved to be locked.

His first comment on this thread was an insult to my person. I don't tolerate such nonsense.
