Commercial sex hawkers in Lagos State have a lot to be thankful for as
the 18th National Sports Festival, Eko 2012, comes to an end on Sunday.
In fact, they are giving kudos to the Lagos State governor, Babatunde Fashola forhosting the 12-day competition festival.
Apparently, the commercial sex hawkers made fortunes from randy
athletes and officials who stormed the Centre of Excellence for the
bi-annual festival. Some of them shared their experiences with Sunday
Tribunesport.
Hence, in separate interviews with Sunday Tribunesport, ladies of
easy of virtues, at the popular Ayilara joint, Ojuelegba, narrated that
their business soared during the games as they made huge profits on a
daily basis from the visitors who could not hold themselves while the
festival lasted. One of them, Cynthia, who came to Lagos five years ago
from Enugu, gave kudos to the Lagos State government forhosting the
festival at a time the economy was taking its toll on their business.
According to her, “I was in Lagos during the period when the state
hosted the (FIFA U-17) World Cup three years ago. I made money but not
as much as I made during this festival because many more officials
attended this one, so I am happy with our governor for the hosting as I
have made some cool cash from it,” she said. Also, another sex hawker
who gave her name as Florence from Akwa Ibom State stated that she made
nothing less than eight thousand naira (N8,000) daily, depending on the
bargaining power for a night, adding that this was the best time of her
career since she moved to Lagos three years ago.
Yet another prostitute, Onome, from Edo State, claimed that during
the sport festival, her daily saving was not less than N10,000, being,
as she put it, one of the hottest “babes around”. “I really enjoyed
myself during the festival because of the number of participants who
came to the state,” Onome said.
