The Sophisticated Prostitution Runs In Abuja

After visiting several locations known to be red-light districts, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) through its secretary for social development, Mrs Blessing Onuh, announced a “total ban” on prostitution throughout the nation’s capital city. A 48-hour ultimatum was issued for all women of easy virtue to vacate the city and quit the job “because they constitute a nuisance in the city”.

She added a fatwa on their male patrons who ruined “some of the girls [who] are under-aged”. 

Other severe measures were lined up; security agencies actually combed some of the red-light districts and made several arrests. But rather than the scourge abating, it appears undying like the proverbial phoenix.

Prostitution in Abuja has metamorphosed from the conventional sedentary practice in local brothels to a sophisticated cartel of “runs babes” and the corporate realm. The “executive” type now holds in many luxury hotels in the Abuja metropolis and the exquisite homes of the super-rich. 

Notorious spots include Port Harcourt Crescent, off Gimbiya Street, Garki; Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent and Sheraton Junction in Wuse II; and virtually all the discotheques. Even in poor neighbourhoods like Nyanyan, Mararaba and Gwagwa, little girls have joined the illicit trade. They parade a horde of half-nude girls and women of various ages and sizes brazenly exposing themselves, while openly and desperately beckoning on motorists and passers-by to pick them for the night. 

Crisis Hits Fake Governor's Forum: Jang's Group Fight DGs

Crisis is currently rocking the Governor Jonah Jang faction of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum. Investigations showed that some governors in the faction are grumbling over happenings in the forum.

A governor, who belongs to this fake Governor's Forum faction, said that some of them are not happy with what he called the “over-bearing influence of one of us.”

The governor told Punch that with what is happening, it might be difficult for the forum to meet its target. He said, “As I speak, the strategic committee, which we named ‘Think Thank Committee,’ has not been able to meet. Members of the committee, headed by the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio, have not met even once.

“Apart from Akwa Ibom, other states in the committee are Delta, Katsina, Abia and Bauchi.”

Besides, the governors were said to have been divided over several letters written to different embassies by its Sole Administrator, Mr. Osaro Onaiwu, informing them about the “change in the NGF leadership.”

In the letters, Onaiwu informed the embassies not to attend to letters written by Bayo Okauru, the Director General of Gov Rotimi Amaechi's authentic faction.

But at a hurriedly called meeting of the forum, which was held at the Benue Governor’s Lodge in Abuja last week, majority of the governors were said to have frowned at the attempt to make their disagreement with Governor Amaechi, who actually defeated Governor Jang, an international issue.

The aggrieved governors are of the opinion that the international community can never accept 16 as winner over 19. Thus, majority of the governors are said to be against the action of their DG, Osaro Onaiwu. 

At a point, one of the governors was said to have asked who employed Onaiwu since he had not been given any employment letter.

"I must date with a man for 5yrs before I marry him' -Eniola Badmus

When asked about her marriage plans in a new interview, Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus said she must date a guy for at least five years before she will consider marrying him. Eniola said:

"What is the point if I marry today and tomorrow it's over? What's the essence? I am living my life. I will have a baby when necessary. Marriage is good but what's the essence of me getting married today and tomorrow I'm not in it? For any man I am going to marry or call my husband we should be together for five years before we walk down the aisle. We may have children but at least after five years I will know that you're ready for me. Not getting married today, and tomorrow he's out! I've seen it happen to my friends, I don't want to go through that trauma.

 Erm, that you date a guy for five years doesn't guarantee that the marriage will last...or does it? :-)

Banky W says he's single...*cough*

When asked by a fan on Twitter if he's single or married, R&B superstar Banky W replied single. Well, technically he's single because he's not married...but he's currently in a relationship with Ghanaian beauty, Andrea Manuela Giaccaglia, who he has been out in public with on a few occasions, which kinda tells me this could be serious because Mr W has dated quite a number of beautiful women he never went out with in public. You know those kind of codedaffairs. Hehe

So what should a man in a relationship say to a question like this: "Not married but in a relationship?" Or "I'm single" is just fine?
