This may not be the best of times for commercial sex workers following the sharp drop in prices for sex and scarcity of men due to the economic crunch occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy in Lagos State.
EXPRESS reports that just like the law of supply and demand, there is supply of sex workers but few patrons are available, thereby forcing the price for sex in various brothels and hotels to drop sharply. Most patrons were said to hardly go to hotels to satisfy their sexual needs nowadays as expressed by workers in various hotels visited by our correspondent in Igando, Ikotun, Agege, Oshodi, Isolo, Ojuelegba, Mushin among other areas.
However, there is slight difference in Ajah, Lekki axis but what is generally similar in those areas were stories of scrambling for few men still available, which forced the price for sex services to drop. One of workers who spoke to P. EXPRESS on condition that her full name should not be mentioned, identified as Joy, said the situation is worse as some of the workers cannot even make money to pay for their accommodation. Joy, who plies her trade in Agege area, expressed their concern and explained that unlike in the past, a round of sex was between N to N5, but it has dropped dramatically to between N and N She lamented that despite the drop in prices, men are scare as they battle for customers thereby crashing the price further.
Another worker, who plies her trade in the Ikotun area of Lagos, simply identified as Nonye, stated that things are not really going on well with their business for now because of the present economic challenges in the country. The business is no longer moving as it used to. Things have become so hard that if you see more than three customers in one day, you will thank God.
Customers are hard to come by. And when they come, they offer very little and we collect it like. The sex worker, Nonye, explained that most workers now owe the brothels and hotel management for their rooms unlike before when it was easy to pay because of the availability of customers.
