Nigeria: Campus Girls, Big-Time Prostitutes
by Ebenezer Edohasim

IT is a thing of joy to see parents feeling happy that their daughters are in various institutions of higher learning scattered all over our country, acquiring knowledge that will shape their future and make them great women in time to come. And naturally, parents should have no cause to doubt the good behaviour of their daughters, especially when it comes to issue of chastity, if that child was properly brought up to fear God, respect other people and to see her body as a temple of God that should not be defiled no matter the pressure.

However, if the investigations we carried out for some weeks in selected cities on campus prostitution, is to be used as yard stick, then parents, including the wealthy among us should have a rethink as to where their precious daughter, so calm, innocent looking and highly respectable is at this moment, because prostitution on our campuses have gone beyond the level of past time, it is now a highly organized and digitalized business not only practiced by the female students, but also by some boys who act as pimps to the female students and sometimes themselves service the pervert needs of wealthy homosexuals.

According to our reports, this ugly incident of campus prostitution creped into our campuses in the late 70s, heightened in the 80s, gained prominence during the military era and has since then been graduating from one level of pervasion to another.

In fact, it was the return to civil rule with all the glamour and paraphernalia attached to politics that actually made our female undergraduates to embrace prostitution. At that time, it was practiced with some caution because the girls were somehow afraid not to be noticed that they were into such shameful act, not approved at all by the society.

So the mode of operation was as much as possible secretive and somehow confidential. What usually happened then was that any city harbouring higher institutions where politicians are having their convention or any other meeting was usually a target. Before the politicians arrived, their contact who could be a girl or boy will take briefings on the number of student hawkers required, the statistics of the type of girl each politician wanted and the services the girls are expected to render, which actually determined the price.

It is important to note here that because of the agreement to protect some sources who spoke to us on condition of anonymity, we are going to use imaginary names in some cases in order not to breach agreement and to protect our sources, which is very important to us.

So one of our sources, Grace, informed us that, “The willing girls are carefully chosen to avoid sell out. It is almost like a cult because the girls are put under oath of secrecy to protect members. If the clients, be they politicians or top businessmen require short -time sexual entertainment by our girls, we charge N10, 000 per client and if the girls shall sleep over, it goes for N20, 000 per girl. However, we have what is called wild party which could hold at any time of the day according to the wishes of the clients. This wild party is really wild as anything goes, including the girls going nude to the admiration of the clients and having wild sex collectively within the closet.”

The above account by an operator of this campus prostitution ring is just one of the information we gathered in the cause of our investigations. In the above scenario, the girls did not move outside their campus arena because their clients came to town for one meeting or the other and decided to go wild on the laps of these bad female students who decided to turn themselves into sex tools, just for money. But we are talking of a situation where female students in Enugu, Port Harcourt, Aba, Lagos, Calabar, Warri, Ibadan, and Abeokuta among others, will invade Abuja, a journey of over five hours at the least, abandoning their studies for weeks just to hawk their bodies to willing men for money.
