Beautiful girls, rich women, money,
expensive cars, strip clubs, luxurious hotels
—the secret sex trade, exclusive only to
women, is now big business in Lagos State,
southwest Nigeria, P.M.NEWS has revealed,
after intense undercover research.
Like in a secret cult, only the initiated
understand its cryptic language, esoteric
ways, sexual benefits and financial
rewards.
For those involved in the bizarre trade, it
was discovered during investigation in
Lagos Mainland and Island, lesbianism is
not new.
Most sex workers with secondary school
education agreed that their involvement in
the salacious act dates back to their
boarding school days when they were
initiated by older girls.
Back then, it was just casual sex by girls in
their puberty. Today, lesbianism has
become a trade, a big but hidden business
in the Lagos metropolis.
Dozens of prostitutes informally
interviewed during this investigation gave a
rare insight into the usually hermetic world
of lesbianism in Lagos and the trade now
associated with it.
The youngest lesbian prostitute P.M.NEWS
met for this article was 16 years old. Most
of them were in their early 20s.
Many get involved through seduction. Some
are influenced or initiated by friends who
are already in the sex trade and have
contacts and connections in high places ,
where women are ready to exchange cash
for pleasure.
“I was introduced to lesbianism when I was
in secondary school. I was in a boarding
school in Benin, EDO STATE” says one of
the lesbian prostitutes who introduced
P.M.NEWS team into the strange world of
lesbian prostitution in Nigeria’s most
populous city.
Now a student at the University of Ado
Ekiti, the Edo State indigene, shuttles
between campus and clubs, hotel rooms or
sleek houses in Lagos most weekends to
have sex with rich women.
“I have to be in Lagos on weekends because
that’s where the business pays well.
Sometimes, I travel to Port Harcourt, but
most times, I come Lagos.
“I already know how it works here in Lagos.
I have a lot of contacts in the strip clubs
and I have a lot girls who are into the
business and they refer women to me. But
it is better to meet the woman yourself
because if she is rich, the other girl will not
refer you to her, she will take her herself,”
she says.
During an outing in Lagos four weeks ago,
she remembered with nostalgia, how a rich
man once approached her for his shy wife
and paid her big money.
“She was shy, she told me. She wanted a
girl that night but she could not come to
the strip club and her husband picked me
for her.
“The husband left us in the room upstairs.
He was having some drinks downstairs and
watching TV. He later came when we were
almost done and gave her a peck. He asked
her if I was good. She didn’t answer. She
just gave him a peck and smiled,” she said.
She admitted that sometimes, she services
men, but added, “It’s better to do it with a
girl. She knows how to make you come and
she cannot transmit diseases to you.”
There are also risks, she admitted. She
remembered how she was approached by
“one rich woman with a British accent.
“I agreed to follow her. However, when we
got home, there were two other ladies
waiting for me. She did not tell me I would
be having sex with three women. But I had
no choice. I was already there and I did it. I
just renegotiated the amount,” she said.
This new trend of prostitution is fast
spreading among teenagers, but is not
restricted to them.
The high and mighty in the society are
involved. Other less fortunate in life are
also involved in their level.
Tribe or religion is no barrier. P.M.NEWS
was introduced to some lesbian prostitutes
who claimed to be Muslims and others said
they are Christians.
There were also others, who perhaps, due
to the effect of alcohol, did not know which
religion they practice.
Unlike the ordinary sex trade between men
and women, those involved in the trade
said they do not stand by the roadside to
meet patrons.
Patrons and sex workers usually meet in
some of the strip clubs in Lagos, exchange
contacts or leave straightaway for their
escapades.
Rich women are involved mainly for
pleasure while the workers are in it for
money.
“It’s about connection. One person
introduces “one person to another and it
goes round. They are able to identify
themselves through compliments like;oh! I
love your legs. You have sweet b00bs. You
look beautiful,’” another lesbian prostitute
told P.M.NEWS in a strip club during the
investigation.
She added: “They also wink and look
seductively at you. If they get a good
response from you, then they know they
are with the right person.”
She says some possess a high level of
courage.
“They can walk up to any lady they find
attractive as long as the environment is safe
for them.”
Other prostitutes argued that society
women in Lagos who are involved in the
trade are very caring.
“Especially if they find you interesting, in
the sense that if you are able to make them
reach orgasm. They will give you a special
treatment such as take you for shopping
and keep you as partner even after sex.
They can then buy you a car or rent you an
apartment,” one of the sex workers said,
echoing what was heard from others in
their business.
The payment for services rendered is
determined by quality service offered by
the prostitute.
“It could be sucking their private part or
the ability to creatively use your hands to
please them,” a sex worker said.
The excellent use of vibrators and a good
massage can put one worker at an
advantage position.
The fees start from N15000 a night and can
reach N100,000 in some cases. The amount
dwarfs by far what is paid by men, which
starts from N1000 or N2000 depending on
the area.
The ghettos are no exception to the trade
but the price is relatively poor, it was
discovered. It varies between N2000 and
N5000.
One sex worker explained that even though
the trade is based on connections and
recommendations, there are special places
where it is easy to get hooked with lesbians.
Beauty salon, luxurious hotels, swimming
pools and expensive shopping malls were
mentioned.
Married women are also involved. They woo
girls in need of money, including their
friends’ daughters.
Married women in the trade claim that their
husbands are either not good enough in
bed or too busy to attend to their sexual
needs.
“They tell me their husbands do not satisfy
them or are too busy and they can’t cheat
with another man without being
suspected,” a worker told P.M.NEWS.
“The good thing about it is that men cannot
suspect them. Any woman can hang out
with them and men are not bothered,” a
sex worker said.
Some women, the prostitute explained,
invite two girls to satisfy them.
The root of this new dimension
of prostitution can be traced to “only-girls”
boarding schools.
Young innocent girls in such schools are
lured into the act by older girls, most time
through bullying.
During this investigation, our
correspondents interviewed dozens of sex
workers mainly at strip clubs and attended
a get together by lesbians and bi-sexuals.
