As Nigerians grumble about and protest against the sudden increase
of the price of petrol, Nigerian prostitutes have resolved to do
something about it.
Members of the National Association of Nigerian Prostitutes (NANP),
have intimated that they are mobilizing their members all over the
country to embark on what they call the mother of all protests to
register their anger over the high cost of living in the country
occasioned by the increase in the pump price of petrol.
The body in a statement signed by its new leader, Tamar Tion, who
took over after the demise of former President, Jessica Elvis, and
Secretary, Sandra Efosa, their decision to embark on the strike, stems
from the fact that their business has been dwindling as their customers
do not have have the money to patronize them and as such, they have been
suffering untold hardship.
Part of the communique released by the body after its national executive meeting reads:
“The members of the National Association of Nigerian
Prostitutes (NANP), has concluded plans to embark on a mother of all
protest to show our anger on the current economic hardship the citizens
of Nigeria are passing through.
“The hardship has affected every facet of the society including
our business as our customer base has diminished and the few men that
seek our services do not have the money to pay, even after many of our
members have reduced their prices drastically.
“Some of our members charge as low as N500 and yet, the
customers complain because they do not have the money. We supported
President Muhammadu Buhari when he was campaigning, believing he was
going to bring about the desired change.
“But now things have gone from bad to worse. We are bread
winners in our families and some of us have lots of responsibilities.
Since this government came into power, things have sky rocketed. And to
add to our woes, they have increased the fuel price, making the ordinary
Nigerians the worse off.
“We are mobilizing our members all over the country to embark
on the protest on a date to be announced soon. We will occupy the
National Assembly, the various state secretariats and picket the PHCN,
NNPC and other parastatals. We are Nigerians and we pay taxes, so we
also feel the pains.”
