Lagos sex workers have resorted to slashing their rates just to attract customers despite coronavirus lockdown.
Media reports indicates that despite directions by the National Coordinator, Nigeria Sex Workers Association, Amaka Enemo, advising sex workers in the country to suspend all activities, many are still operating.Enemo had said, “There is sensitisation across the country including within our network. Sex workers also offer essential services. However, there is no way sex workers can do their work without bodily contact. So, they are staying at home to watch what happens.
“The government has announced a lockdown and as law-abiding citizens, we will not flout the law. If the government says sit at home, we will all obey because nobody wants to die.”
Media reports that prostitutes are slashing their rates with one stating: “Hey! Na because of this COVID-19 you com dey price am like this, abi?” the light-complexioned, short lady marvelled. “Ok, let’s do it quickly so I can go outside to look for another customer,” she added.
“I only use the hand sanitiser for customers like you who believe there is coronavirus in Nigeria,” she noted, indifferently.
