Eunice Oyebanji (not her real name) is 18 years old. She just finished her secondary school and was in dire need of job as a way of augmenting the financial status of her family that managed to see her through her secondary education. Her friend, Comfort visited clutching the latest Samsung phone, in an expensive garb, wearing exotic perfume, and offered to take Oyebanji out for a lunch. Venue of the lunch was an exotic eatery in the Lagos metropolis where Miss Oyebanji had a treat. Wowed by the expensive lifestyle of her friend, Miss Oyebanji became inquisitive to ascertain the source of wealth that her friend is enjoying. Quipped Miss Oyebanji,”my good friend which work are you doing that is fetching you this kind of money that you are spending, could you assist me in getting this your kind of job to enable me assist my poor parents in training my younger ones as you know that the financial status of my family is not to be proud of, help me please!
After much persuasion, Comfort agreed to introduce her friend to her line of business, but asked whether she was sure that she could do the kind of job she is doing because it is stressful, and Miss Oyebanji retorted, “but you do not look stressful, I want to look the way you are looking”. Comfort was smart in luring her friend to strip dancing in one of the night clubs in Ikeja, capital of Lagos State. She told her host that where she worked is in a hotel where you are paid good money if you pass the interview. After one night out with her friend, Miss Oyebanji was excited by the money she was paid by her admirers after striping dancing in one of the nightclubs in Ikeja. Weeks into the lascivious job, Miss Oyebanji that cannot afford phone handset was a proud owner of an exotic phone, changed her wardrobe with exotic dresses, settled the debts of family and began life on a fast lane.
Miss Oyebanji’s tale is metaphoric of numerous teenagers sighted at numerous nightclubs scattered all over the major cities in the country. In one of the night clubs located in Allen Avenue, a popular red-light street in Ikeja, the manager told Tentacle that strip dancing attracts young lads who wants to make quick money to better their lives. The manager who does not want his name in print said that politicians, top government officials as well as established yahoo yahoo boys are regular customers in the nightclub that does strip dance thrice in a week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We pay the girls as high as N50, 000 per night depending how good you are at the lurid breast shaking during the strip dancing, and how creative you are in attracting the attention of the Sodom generation. It was gathered that apart from the official money paid to these strip dancers at the various nightclubs in major cities in the country, high profile clients of the Nightclubs appreciate them with a huge sums of money because of their dexterity in arousing them amorously in the course of their performance.
A girl who is strip dancer in one of the notorious nightclub name withheld located in Ikotun Egbe, an outskirt of Lagos who pleaded anonymity told this medium that she is not a prostitute but a strip dancer who does not sleep around with the clients of the nightclub. According to her, after dancing on the laps of clients, you could be appreciated handsomely depending on the mood of the client. She said that on weekly basis she takes home as much as N100, 000. Some of these rich men who came to the nightclub to unwind are generous especially if you know how to wiggle your waist and position your breast in the course of the strip dancing. In some cases, you end up in their bed if they like what they saw during the dancing but it is not always”, she revealed.
Investigation escalated by this medium revealed that many teenagers and youths alike are abandoning education or skill acquisition for strip dancing, pimping, and hookup especially in major cities in the country. It was gathered that leisure business is on the increase because of the economic situation in the country, many teenagers in the quest for the things of the life decide to throw caution into winds by engaging in strip dancing, and in most cases graduate to full high profile prostitution. In Abuja, most of the nightclubs scattered in highbrow areas in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT are populated by teenagers who strip dance to make quick cash. It was discovered in the course of this investigation that even married women are among those who strip dance in Abuja for money and possibly laying a man after dancing to augment whatever proceeds from the dance. A house wife residing at Abuja under the cover of anonymity told this medium that it a common knowledge that house wives in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT are outsmarting teenagers in the strip dancing business. She enthused that most of them who engage in this despicable act always cite economic dislocation as the reason for engaging in the immoral act. “It is hard to believe that married women could engage in such act but the truth is that they do, and the clan of strip dancers has come to stay, no thanks to the economic situation in the country. Some of the women who engaged in it did so to augment the financial status of their various families while others engage in it to catch fun that eluded them while growing up”.
It was gathered that deficit of good parenting in the country gave birth to the porn generation. In most families, according survey carried out by this medium, parents are oblivious of what their wards are doing after school hours or even during school hours because efforts to bench poverty in their lives drives them crazy thereby loosing conscious of what happens to their wards. A certified clinical psychology, Ade Omoniyi is of the view that the rapid expansion of the porn clan in the country is occasioned by many factors which include quest for enviable social status, focus on social media by teenagers in recent times and the decay in moral upbringing of our youths in many homes and the voracious attempt at wrestling with poverty created by bad economy. “This is one of the disadvantages of digitalized generation and social media savvy youths. Strip dancing is a foreign culture rapidly copied by the teenagers to fill the vacuum created in their lives by poverty, and the quest to become rich quick by all means possible. Otherwise how do you explain the fact that a teenager who suppose to be in the tertiary institutions are left in the land of lasciviousness”, Omoniyi questioned.
Beyond the procreating porn generation lies Sodomites that is gaining currency in the across the major cities in the country. In the course of profiling this lurid immoral story, this medium discovered that gay and lesbianism is even on the rise among teenagers and even adults alike. It was gathered that in Governor Road, a serene but notorious road, in Ikotun area, an outskirt of Lagos State there is a place where gay and lesbian pry their trade uninhibited. Gay practitioners are always seen to be feminine in their dressing, according to the investigation orchestrated by Tentacle. At their meeting point at the Governor Road, you see them in all shapes and manner. Rivalries among the practitioners are palatable and most case led to the death of the practitioners. On interrogation, some of the practitioners who spoke to this medium on the condition of anonymity adduced poverty and sexual pervasion as the main reason why teenagers engage in the sodomy. “My partner is too jealous, in most cases we end up fighting but I cannot resist him because of the money I get from him. He is from a wealthy family and has been responsible for my exotic life that I have lived for the past five years that I have been in the trade. He had even proposed to me but because the law of the land abhors it, we are planning to relocate to countries that have sympathy for gay marriage, settle there and enjoy ourselves”.
There is a popular hotel in Ikeja, name withheld where lesbians hang out. It was gathered that lesbianism is more lucrative than gay because most of the ladies that engage in it are ladies of means that are ready to spoil their “wives” with exotic gifts and money so that they do not look the way of men. In the hotel located in the Opebi axis of Lagos State, young girls are always seen swarming the hotel in various attires that are provocative. “ Some come there in exotic automobiles, clutching expensive phones which worth is capable of feeding family of four for months, eating what they want not what they need”, offered the guide of this medium in the course of this investigation at the notorious hotel.
In the course of investigating this story, it was discovered that sex is now a lucrative sector that is bringing easy money for the practitioners and those who made themselves professional pimps. It was gathered these pimps go into the hinterland to deceive teenagers with job opportunities only to turn them to sex slaves when they are brought into the city. For instance, security agents in Anambra State busted gang of women who specialized in recruiting teenagers for sex slavery.
Speaking to journalists, some of the teenagers who were rescued by the security agents said that they pay N40, 000 to their Madam on daily basis for them to remain in business. According to them, they were to make return of between N10,000 to N15,000 every night, and charge N1, 000 per round of sex with men. The ages of the girls ranged from 15 years to 25 years, and were recruited from remote areas of Ebonyi State in the South Eastern region of the country. One of the girls claimed that her Madam forced her to sleep with 50 different men in a week to be able to make enough money for returns to the Madam that recruited her for the sex slavery in a hotel where she was quartered.
Pastor Paul Madu who has a booming church in Ikotun-Egbe told Tentacle that these are signs of the end time, adding that woe betide the families that allow their wards to indulge in such dirty lifestyle, insisting that spirituality had taken a flight in most families in the country. “In the Holy writ, you know the consequences of such dirty lifestyle, obviously any generation that engages in this immoral acts have their destiny terminates in hell. It is disgusting to even discuss this in the first place”, he retorted.
Given the indices that gave birth to porn generation it appears the lifespan of the clan is going to be a long one because a lot of teenagers, according to investigation, are being attracted to the pervasive lifestyle that have left most them in the morgues or hospitals because of terminal diseases incurred in the blaze of their pervasive sexual lifestyle.
