Rita
is a street hawker in the Lagos redlight district called Allen Avenue.
In an undercover mission, A reporter obtained some shocking facts from
one of Lagos’ brimming S-E”X-x-workers popularly called “Runs babes” in
local parlance.
According to our undercover reporter,
Rita is not more than 24-years-old, a native of Edo state. She says her
coming to Lagos was basically to work as a lady of the night.
In a very informal interview, Naij.com
reporter got Rita to make some shocking revelations about the trade that
for ages have thrived on the infamous Allen road.
Rita said the job was lucrative on the
Allen way, hence the reason why there are so many girls on the street
selling their “wares”.
She narrated her ordeal of deferring her admission at Ambrose Ali University in Ekpoma, where she was a 200level student of Law.
The very enlightened lady stressed that
she had plans to go back and get her degree, noting that she is
motivated by a dead mother who would give anything for her education.
Reacting to a question regarding how
much she makes daily, the law student said an average of seven thousand
per day and over forty thousand per week, depending on how events turn
out.
Rita revealed that there are various classes of customers each day, but she preferred the married men most.
She noted that more married men stop to pick them up night after night. According to her, “many married men in Lagos are in the habit of picking girls from Allen. Some for short rest and others to spend the night.”
The Edo born “runs girl” said there are many reasons why she preferred married men to single guys.
According to her: “there
are several reasons why chilling with married men surpasses those of
young dudes. One major reason is that they know how to treat women
better, though they know that you are a street girl, they don’t treat
you that way.”
“The
younger men mostly come for quickies and they give you whatever they
deem fit, but the married men want something special than what they get
at home and as such will give more to attain satisfaction,” Rita informed.
More to her preference, she noted that
most of the married men would always come back if they had a good time,
meaning that some of them get to keep the street girls as their personal
mistress.
She said some of the women know that
their husbands are cheating but do not try to stop it due to an
understanding between the men and their wives.
“One woman even went through her husband’s phone and saw my number dialed repeated, with a text message from her husband to me.”
Rita narrated that the woman eventually called her but rather than make a fuss about the entire affair, warned that: “her husband must not be infected by me.”adding that “I must ensure that her husband uses a condom whenever we had intercourse.”
She said it was that singular event that
made her nurse the thought that perhaps her relationship with some of
the men may actually be keeping their families going other than breaking
their homes.
When asked if she was not afraid of
getting caught with these men, Rita calmly replied that life was all
about taking risks. She added that “even
standing on the streets in the dead of the night is no joke you know,
especially now that December has arrived and ritual killers are on the
lose”.
She further noted that every job has its hassle and “theirs” too was not left out of the lot.
Rita, however affirmed that she does not
plan to be a runs-girl all her life, stressing that the moment she
saves up to a certain minimum, she will quit and go back to school.
