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.
