The administration of President
Muhammadu Buhari has witnessed a disturbing inflation rate of 16.5%
according to the National Bureau of Statistics report for July, 2016
which has further impoverished the masses he was voted to give a glimpse
of hope and survival.
The naira has continued its streak of
hopeless free fall at both the interbank and the parallel markets
without a correctional antidote to salvage its value. The prices of
essential commodities in local markets have increased drastically
including electricity tariffs that went up by 45% and fuel at over 60%.
All these and many other factors have
culminated in scathing economic hardship for the already despondent
masses. In the face of the hyper-inflation, there is a particular
service in an unregulated industry that has suffered ‘subsidy removal’
without a reference in the media which is s*x.
S*x which is one of the basic
physiological needs of man as well as a ‘joyous sport’ according Abraham
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs Psychology theory seems to have been put
beyond the reach of the average Nigerian men as much as food with an
unprecedented hike in the prices at both the direct market (brothels and
hotels) and the indirect market (social media).
The social media has recorded the influx
of young ladies in the commercial capital of Nigeria – Lagos; hustling
to ‘use what they have to get what they want’ from the available men. This
seems to be the new trend of entrepreneurship improvised to develop the
local economy from its mono-cultural outlook as these young ladies have
registered nefarious profiles on the internet in pseudo names to
provide clandestine s*x services either as prostitutes or casual lovers
to the financially-empowered men.
In a survey through the participant
observation method conducted in Festac Town area of Lagos as well as on
trending social media platforms, startling details showed c*x prices
have suffered about 60 to 100% increment with the key players blaming
the Buhari administration for the towering hike.
Some ‘regular’ commercial s*x workers
around 1st and 6th avenues in Festac charge up to N4,000 to N5,000 for a
‘short time’ package which is for only one round. The former basic
price for such pleasure service around December, 2015 was N2,000 or
N3,000 depending on the beauty, body structure and taste of the c*x
worker in question.
An all-night affair either in a hotel or
a personal apartment will cost a whooping sum of N10,000 to N15,000 and
even N20,000 with the basic ‘street’ terms and conditions in
application. This service before the
doomed fate of the naira and the current inflationary trend ranged from
N5,000 to N7,000. The c*x workers have also being so vicious and strict
during negotiations compared to the friendly and appealing antics put up
in the past which could be adduced to the level of discombobulation
faced under the technical recession being experienced in the country.
The online market seems to have
witnessed massive deregulation like the oil sector in the country.
Social media platforms like Eskimi.com, Insta.me app, badoo.com,
mobofree.com, Instagram and a host of others have been saturated
colossally by bleaching ladies scantily-clad to send encrypted business
messages to potential customers.
The ones with conspicuous natural endowments such as pawpaw-like boobs and gargantuan bums have a field day displaying their merchandise with men trooping in for the pleasure business.
A concerted study on the Insta.me
application (insta chat) which is a messenger app for people in the
Instagram community revealed pleasure sessions have gone up to N30,000
to N35,000 in a venture that didn’t cost more than N7,000 to N10,000 in
the past. Most of these ladies adamantly defend their price tags which
they term ‘non negotiable’. Some
ladies due to low patronage during the week days which are taken
earnestly in Lagos volunteered to take as low as N10,000 to N12,000 for a
short time package of simply two rounds during the day.
Coughing up these sums for money for low
income earners especially in Lagos where just over 20% of the working
population earn over N100,000 as monthly salaries has been
excruciatingly inconvenient against the backdrop of a compelling s*xual
urge which could be herculean to regulate among randy men.
