It has become a way of life for many ladies of today; money for hand, back for ground. Pm News Campus Square went about to ask some students why they think prostitution is so rampant on campuses and what they think can be done to curb it and here’s what they have to say.
Bashorun Aminat of the University of Lagos [UNILAG] said:
“The girls do not hesitate once such a
guy approaches them. If he has a car then they are good to go. A case
happened last semester when some girls left the hostel in the evening
and told their roommates that they wanted to stroll out just within the
school premises.
“A report was brought later the next
day that the three friends were involved in a serious car accident in
which one of them died...
“They come to pick them with cars or
they take cab to their destination and when they return the next day,
they come back big with a huge intimidating amount of money and they
flaunt it for all to see.
“We are in deep trouble in this
country if urgent step is not taken to address this crisis. But, the
question is; who will provide the platform for such reforms to take
place, when it was the same politicians, political office holders,
bureaucrats, and some traditional rulers that are the major promoters of
such illicit business in the first place.”
In her own reaction to the issue, Adediran Bukunmi, a student of the Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU said: “some OAU girls have PhD in prostitution. Archy, Motion Ground, Ajose, First Bank are some of the ‘mini-hotels’ we have on OAU campus.
“You find condoms, pants and
sometimes blood early in the morning if you pass through these areas.
You see‘lovers’ hanging around this love spots at night, many even go
further to make love in these places as they are often very few people
around at the time.
“Anglomoz is the mother of
‘mini-hotels’ where ‘big boys’ come to pick up the willing ladies. Some
have even been recognized by the cars they bring as they do not miss the
rendezvous every night.
“Their activities reduce during exam
period. Honestly, I am indifferent about it. I really do not care what
they do with their lives.”
“The practice of dating older men for
money has taken over Nigerian schools by female students who so much
desire to live a life beyond what their parents can provide for them,”
Jerry Adeyemi said.
”Prostitution on our campuses is no
longer news. But it is difficult to pin point who to put the blame on.
Is it the campus girls or their patrons?” he queried.
It is difficult to pin down the exact year campus prostitution started, it has been widely acknowledged that it started in full swing in the 90s.
