Weird: Bauchi Prostitute Cry Out Over Low Patronage

COMMERCIAL S3X WORKERS IN BAUCHI STATE, NORTHERN NIGERIA HAVE CRIED OUT OVER LOW PATRONAGE FROM THEIR CLIENTS.

 Vanguard reports that prostitutes in the northern state blamed the decline in patronage on insecurity in neighbouring states of Plateau, Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.

 It was also gathered that most of the owners of hot spots and brothels around some major streets within the metropolis have also complained about low patronage from clients who usually engage the services of the s*x workers.

 Some of the most affected spots are Ogbonna Hotel, Focus Brothel, Time out by junction, Peoples Club and Benco Hotels.

 Commenting on the situation, two s*x workers at Bayan Gari, a suburb in Bauchi metropolis, said the recent bomb explosions in Jos caused most of their rich clients not to be coming to the state again.

 It could be recalled that some Nigerian s*x workers had demanded for legal recognition of their trade as a job during the celebration of 14th International s*x Workers Rights Day in March.

 Some of the prostitutes told journalists that the time had come for the Nigerian government to grant them their due recognition and further recognise that as human beings trying to keep body and soul going, the profession should be considered legitimate enough to put a stop to its discrimination and stigmatisation.

 Though many of prostitutes did not realise that such day was set aside for them until they were told, they also called on rights activists to assist them gain the desired recognition.

 See, many people, including you, do not see us as human beings. In your mind, we are a condemned set of Nigerians who sell their bodies so cheaply, but that thought is not right, Jane, a lady from eastern Nigeria who operates at a brothel close to the railwayline in Agege, told newsmen.
