WHAT THE HELL?

WHAT THE HELL?

Maybe not 100% accurate but pls you too should do the maths:

The president of the RICHEST & Most POWERFUL nation on earth, my dear friend Barack Obama (who is constantly under threat) uses GM Custom-built ”The Beast” as his Official Car. It costs$300,000 (46 million Naira)

* The official state car of Emperor Akihito of Japan (world’s 3rd largest economy) is a custom built Toyota Century Royal worth $500,000 (76million Naira)

* The British (7th largest economy) Prime Minister rides a custom built Jaguar which costs £200,000
(52 million Naira)

* The President of war-torn Iraq uses a bullet-proof BMW E67 760 Li valued at $500,000 (76million
Naira)

* The MINISTER OF AVIATION of poverty stricken sub-saharan Nigeria purchased TWO BMW Li HSS at the cost of $796,846.21 each, totaling $1,593,687.31 (or N255,150,000) to protect herself from several threats received as a result of her unprecedented reforms of the ‘accident free’ aviation sector in Nigeria.

You too can see the height of corruption in the way price has suddenly sky-rocketed?

Life goes on. Business continues as usual.  Yet you think our system is not ABNORMAL ?

May GOD help ALL Nigerians in the Country and all OVER the World.  And GOD help the Economy of the World, because some of Us depend on the other Nation National resources and Economy.

GOD helps this Whole Wide World.

UK Pays £1m To Transfer 534 Nigerian Prisoners Home

 

The United Kingdom has promised to give Nigerian Prisons £1m (about N210m) to improve its prisons before 534 Nigerian prisoners in Britain can be sent home to serve the remainder of their jail sentences under a deal agreed between the two countries.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron has made it a major campaign point in 2010 to reduce the number of foreign prisoners in UK prisons by deporting them to finish their sentence in their home countries.

There are 534 Nigerians in UK prisons and more than half of them, according to UK media reports, could be deported under the new prisoner transfer agreement under discussion.

A major stumbling block to this deportation has been the poor condition of prisons in the prisoners home countries, but the UK has promised £1million to Nigeria to help improve its prisons.

UK Prisons Minister Jeremy Wright said, “I am clear that more foreign prisoners must serve their sentences in their own countries. That is why we are currently working with the Nigerian Government on a compulsory prisoner transfer agreement to increase the number of prisoners who are transferred.

“Legislation allowing Nigeria to enter such an arrangement was passed earlier this year by the Nigerian Parliament. We are now working with them on the text of a final agreement.”

There are currently 10,786 foreign prisoners in British jails, down just three per cent from the 11,135 incarcerated when David Cameron came to power more than three years ago.

In April, Cameron said, “When people are sent to prison in the UK we should do everything we can to make sure that if they’re foreign nationals, they are sent back to their country to serve their sentence in a foreign prison.

“And I’m taking action in Government to say look we have strong relationships with all of the countries where these people come from. Many are coming from Jamaica, many from Nigeria, many from other countries in Asia.

“We should be using all of the influence we have to sign prisoner transfer agreements with those countries. Even if necessary frankly helping them to build prisons in their own country so we can send the prisoners home.”

In the UK, it costs an estimated £119,000 (about N28m) to cater for a new prisoner and an annual average cost of £41,000 (about N10m) for each prisoner. Thus the deportation of prisoners rids the UK of criminals and is a cost-saving measure in the face of financial constraints.

Polish nationals make up the highest foreign contingent in jails in England and Wales, with 829 currently behind bars. Irish criminals are second with 769, and Jamaica is third with 759. Romanians, Nigerians, Pakistanis, Indians, Lithuanians, Somalians and Vietnamese make up the rest of the top ten.

NATIONAL CONFERENCE TOO CRITICAL TO BE LEFT TO THE FLIP-FLOPPING PRESIDENCY OF GOODLUCK JONATHAN

Since I first made known my initial reaction to President Jonathan’s proposed National Dialogue/Conference, the daggers have been out against me. The paid public relations gangs of the administration and some sympathizers have gone into overdrive in the media and public fora to denounce me for the position I have taken. I thought I ought to enjoy the same right they have exercised by supporting Jonathan’s conference to also reject it and make my reaction known. Unfortunately it does not seem so.

But I have news for them. I will not take anything I have said back on the proposed National Dialougue by this present administration. I insist that the planned national dialogue is a ‘Greek’ gift and public deception. I say beware of the Greek gift; let us first of all, ask a series of questions.

The government's proposal is a walk down a back alley that leads only to a dead end. It has the same empty taste as sitting down to dine after all the food has been eaten and the table cleared.

I intend to raise fundamental questions/interrogations in the following response. I am known to have always reviewed the message or policy action of government after which I simply proceed to respond to the message and not the messenger. But this time around, my focus and response is to the messenger and not the message essentially. Questioning the messenger and his motives is my mission here as a Nigerian and a political leader. Also, in warning against Jonathan’s proposed Conference, I will put forward a few practicable suggestions.

The core questions to ask here is how credible, reliable and capable is the current President to be able to midwife a critical conference such as this? Will this President be sincere enough to let all the issues that are on the agenda be exhaustively discussed at the conference? Will this President have the guts to implement fully all final resolutions of the conference without fear or favor or any pandering?

This is an administration that has been known to have flip-flopped on so many critical issues of national importance. President Jonathan was part of two issues of national importance in the recent past; Amnesty and the Uwais Panel on electoral reform. We all know what has happened to these two issues. The Amnesty conceived from inception has been corrupted and hijacked by the President’s clique. It is one of Nigeria’s drain pipes. A slush fund for political expeditions anda conduit to siphon money to the boys.

The Uwais Panel report gathers dust and suffers from constant cherry picking. What about the much-publicized SURE-P initiative of this administration? Another ill-conceived and fraudulently implemented program of this administration. Billions of naira have so far disappeared into private pockets and the treasury still bleeds. I can go on and on. Is this the leader we want to trust with organizing a National dialogue or is it conference they call it? Where is the capability? Where is the sincerity? Where is the presence of mind?

Recent Nigerian political history bears me out in this instance. Recall the call for a Sovereign National Conference began in earnest in the latter phase of the political transition programme of military president Ibrahim Babangida. Claiming that it was laying a solid foundation for a democracy that will endure, the regime turned Nigeria into a laboratory for all manner of political stunts.

Nigerians came to conclude that the regime was pursuing a not-so-hidden agenda of self-perpetuation and called for a Sovereign National conference to replace a transition programme that had clearly lost its momentum and its direction.

Next door, in Benin Republic, a Sovereign National Conference was being staged to chart a new course for a country that had virtually come to a standstill. Its crisp, bold and purposeful proceedings resonated in Nigeria, and Nigerians yearning for such a conference embraced the Beninoise model.

The military regime seemed at a point to embrace the concept, too, and even tried to enlist some prominent citizens to translate it into practice. But when it appeared those citizens had taken the regime more seriously than it took itself, the regime scuttled the idea and decreed jail sentences for anyone purporting to stage a national conference.

Then came the presidential election debacle of June 12, 1993, and with it, renewed calls for a Sovereign National Conference. The election crisis swept out the military regime, but not before it had planted a surrogate, the so-called Interim National Government, a clueless outfit that lasted three months but drove Nigeria to the edge of ruin, until it was overthrown by General Abacha.

To win public acceptance, Abacha promised to stage a National Conference with “constituent powers.” This was another act of bad faith, for Abacha packed the assembly with his hand-picked nominees. Those who were not his nominees were products of an election that was widely boycotted, persons who could hardly be described as authentic representatives of their constituencies. The conference exercised nothing close to the “constituent powers” Abacha had promised. The five political parties that emerged from the constitutional framework designed by the Assembly all ended up endorsing Abacha as their presidential candidate. Abacha’s death ended the charade. Knowing that Nigerians were no longer prepared to put up with military rule, Abacha’s colleagues hastily put together a constitution to serve as the legal framework for the civilian administration inaugurated in 1999.

The constitution was not published until it came into effect. It was not debated. Those who took office swore an oath to defend a Constitution they had not seen, and the provisions of which they did not know.

Soon, it became clear that it was riddled with grave defects. Despite its portentous preface, “We, the People,” it was not a people’s constitution. The people played hardly any role in its writing. It did not reflect their yearnings. Some legal authorities even went so far as to call the document a forgery.

And so, demands for a Sovereign National Conference broke out afresh, to design a new constitutional order for Nigeria, one anchored on the core principles of federalism and warranted by the preface, “We, the People.”

Then came the Obasanjo’s constitutional review process by the National Assembly in the twilight of his administration. The process came up with 118 recommendations most of which were far reaching and dealt with critical and contentious issues of nationhood. It became ill-fated due to the failure to smuggle in the third term tenure extension provision. The rest, as they say, is now history.

Now, we are about to embark on a similar futile exercise. And here is why. Until some two to three months back, our demands for a sovereign national conference found little sympathy in the Executive and Legislative branches of government, until some three weeks ago when Senate President, David Mark, issued a qualified endorsement. Then, in his National Independence Day Broadcast, President Jonathan Goodluck, announced to everyone’s surprise that the Federal Government would indeed sponsor a National Conference, at which Nigeria’s ethnic nationalists would discuss and negotiate the terms of continued association.

Within days, Dr. Jonathan named a chairman and members of a committee to advise on modalities for staging the conference and submit a report within one month.

I, like other well-meaning Nigerians, must welcome this shift. It is an admission, at last, that the wide cracks in the national fabric can no longer be papered over, and that the time has come for fresh thinking on fundamental problems, the existence of which has for too long been denied.
Yet, President Jonathan’s epiphany–if epiphany it is and not an expedient calculated to enhance his 2015 reelection bid – should be subjected to searching questions.

It is difficult to lay aside the suspicion that his sudden conversion is all about 2015. Otherwise, why the sudden endorsement of a National Conference, not merely in principle, but with a rush toward some form of implementation? What has happened that was not already in play in all those years during which the authorities rejected demands for a National Conference?

Second, it is also difficult to lay aside the suspicion that the government is now embracing the idea with a view to watering it down, if not smothering it altogether. What its proponents have been canvassing is a Sovereign National Conference organized by the sovereign people of Nigeria, not one staged by the government. Government will figure in that Conference only as a facilitator, not as organizer.

Many of the ethnic nationalities clamouring for a Sovereign National Conference are contesting nothing less than the legitimacy of the Nigerian State as presently constituted. It cannot be an answer to their misgivings that the Federal Government, the agent of that state, is set to take charge of a Sovereign National Conference designed to chart a new path.

Third, Dr. Jonathan did not indicate whether the Conference will be sovereign or exercise constituent powers. That omission is not reassuring. What Nigerians have been demanding is a Sovereign National Conference whose decisions can only be ratified or rejected by the people in a national referendum. There is no room for a Government White Paper or Blue Paper or Paper of any colour whatsoever in such a scheme.

Fourth, it must be asked whether this is an opportune moment for the conference, when the ruling party is in disarray, a large portion of the country is convulsed by Boko Haram violence and killings, and permutations over a general election have already taken centre stage in the affairs of the nation two years ahead of schedule.

Would staging a National Conference in such a setting not overheat the polity? Would it not be better to defer the Conference until after the general elections? There is still so much to do to ensure that the election is free and fair, conforms to the best practices, and represents the true will of the people.

Though I remain an unrepentant supporter of a genuine Sovereign National Conference, I am suspicious of this present concoction because it is half- baked and fully deceptive. Government's sincerity is questionable, the timing is also suspect. Now that this government is sinking in a pool of political and economic hot water of its own making, it seizes hold of the national conference idea as if it were a life jacket.

This government habitually puts the wrong leg forward. In the face of debilitating terrorist attacks by Boko Haram, kidnappings across the country and a general insecurity, this government wants to open up another political front by hurriedly organizing a national conference. This rankles the brain.

This government has not the honesty, foresight, tolerance and objectivity to hold a National Conference of any type. This government is so partisan and parochial, it can’t even hold its own party together. How dare it even think it can organize a national conference that lives up to its name by being truly representative of all the nation's constituent parts! At most, all they can conduct is a conference comprised of one section of their party and those shell, artificial civil society groups that purport to reflect the public's mind, yet do nothing but spew government propaganda and get paid good naira for their service. This government cannot hold a National Conference anymore than a comatose man can stand and hold up a candle that the rest of us might see our way to a better Nigeria.

Before embarking on new public relations ploys to whitewash its tarnished record, the government should treat some long outstanding issues and matters. This government cannot give what it does not have.

If the conference must be held now, we must return to the spade work already done by the Obasanjo government in the aspect of constitutional review. Let the Jonathan government bring it out, remove the third term toxic component and set up a technical review committee to examine the 118 recommendations therein. We must continue from where we disagreed. Nation building is a progressive work and to totally jettison the considerable spade work already done is to set back the hands of the clock. Time is not on our side.

Secondly, this government should implement the Uwais recommendations on electoral reforms. That report was the work of imminent Nigerians and it was done after widespread consultations to constituencies far and wide. We all know that our electoral system is broken and unfair. If the President has done nothing to fully implement this corrective report that would fix a system so blatantly broken, why would he implement recommendations of national conference if those recommendations do not suit his narrow purposes? The government should first implement this important work in order to demonstrate to Nigerians that it can hold and honor the outcome of a National dialogue.

This government should do so to show that it has nothing to hide and is willing to engage in the upcoming electoral contest on a level playing field.

This government must first show good faith for Nigerians to believe them. President Jonathan is not the man to give Nigerians a true National Conference. He can only give us a “Jonathan Conference” as bitter icing on the sour cake his government has become. This government lacks the presence of mind and the decency to implement a national conference.

This administration has not achieved any tangible transformation because it has no concrete goals. Now it tilts and staggers under the weight of insecurity. Claims of transformation and of building an economy that is robust and institutions of democracy, by the President shows someone who believes fiction is more important than fact and imagination is more genuine than reality. While I would not mind such a person to be a leading figure in our Nollywood film industry, I am frightened that he is the chief resident in Aso Villa.

Both in timing and in style, previous administrations adopted the same tricks of National Conference as a framework to structure their agenda to which people presented memoranda and attended plenaries before realising it was a trick.

This government's offer of a National Conference is a wingless bird. It will not fly. The advisory committee set up to design a framework and come up with recommendations as to the form, structure and mechanism of the process will soon find out they are on a journey with no destination save the wall of futility.

Yes, we need to talk. However, we need a national conference that is truly sovereign and not one dictated by the reactionary and regressive elements of the ruling party. This is not the way to clear Nigeria from danger. This is a selfish ploy that will place the nation deeper in darkness and indirection.

Nigeria is adrift and unless we start a discourse aimed at updating and improving our political economy and its structures, we might wake up one day from a night devoid of dreams because we have turned into a nation devoid of hope.

However, an imposed national conference by individuals who have shown total disdain for anything nationalistic that does not unduly benefit them and who have demonstrated lack of respect for the opinions of others because they are in “Power” will have little success. It will be an empty and expensive futility with no true dividends for a people wanting their leaders to show them a way out of the pit and not a way deeper into it.

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY MANY PEOPLE LOVE GOVERNOR AMAECHI, THIS IS IT:

Fellow Nigerians, how was your week? I spent three full nights and half a day of mine exploring thelegendary Garden City, otherwise known as Port Harcourt in real name. The last time I had such an opportunity was ten years ago, when Dr Peter Odili was still Governor and Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi was the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly. A lot of water has since passed under the bridge and the baton of power has changed in a most dramatic fashion.

I’m quite familiar with Port Harcourt which like most cities in Nigeria lost its old glory, glamour and colour to the vagaries and vicissitudes of power in the hands of our politicians. The battle for the jugular of the oil-rich state has culminated in the cataclysmic collapse of its original glint and attraction.


While I will not apportion blame, I must say that it has become the unenviable plight of most Governors in Nigeria today to carry the heavy burden of our gross underdevelopment in every sphere of human existence.

My latest trip to Port Harcourt is about my fourth this year alone and about my seventh in two years. I had sneaked in and out without ever visiting the Governor on any of those occasions. The last time I did was when I paid a courtesy call on Mr Rotimi Amaechi during the Presidential campaign of 2011, in which I humbly but proudly participated. Interestingly, life was still normal in those days as Amaechi was busy campaigning for Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and everything seemed cordial between them. I will not bore you with tales of their love gone sour. Theirs had always been a patch-patch marriage of convenience which was bound to go bust at the slightest exposure to pressure.

The immediate cause of my visit this time was my chance meeting with Amaechi a few weeks ago in Abuja. An old friend, turned foe, of his had reacted angrily to an article I wrote and sent in a right-of-reply article to Thisday which we gladly published. In the said piece, the gentleman had accused me of being a victim of Amaechi’s media blitzkrieg. The writer said Amaechi had done nothing fantabulous to warrant all the accolades being heaped on him by the Nigerian Press. This was the background from which I ultimately aroused the Governor’s reaction when I saw him in Abuja. It was like touching the tiger by the tail. Amaechi instantly challenged me to visit Port Harcourt and go on a personal tour of his pet projects with him. I promised to accept the offer as soon as I returned from my marathon voyages abroad. That was our deal.

Even as I left him that night, I wasn’t sure he would ever create the chance or find the time to honour our proposed visitation. All that changed after I sent him a message last week Friday that I was heading back to Nigeria to commiserate with the family of my very dear friend and Brother, Deji Falae, who died the day before in our latest orgy of plane crashes. He promptly responded and told me to come over to Port Harcourt on Monday. On the eve of our departure, I called his Chief Press Secretary, Mr David Iyofor who told me they were in Abuja and would be there for the better part of Monday. I thought the journey would have to be cancelled or postponed but Governor Amaechi surprised me. He said we should still proceed as agreed and thus I landed with my crew of observers on Monday.

We met Amaechi eventually on Tuesday at the Government House but the whole place was a picture of bedlam. The first shock we got was the stupendous crowd we met at his main gate. I had hoped they were not some militants demonstrating and creating a blockade like they did recently. They turned out to be the 13,000 newly recruited teachers who had been disallowed from receiving their letters of appointment at the earlier arranged stadium for convenience of distribution. Also present in the Government house were hordes of politicians including some members of the embattled House of Assembly. I wondered how he was able to cope and attend to all those who needed his attention. I suppose, that is why he’s Governor. We barely managed to catch a breakfast as he got ready for a long day. We fixed our own project tours for Wednesday morning.

We set out at the appointed time on Wednesday and the Governor jumped on the bus to be with us rather than his official car. Give it to him, Amaechi understands the effect of populism. That must account for the reason he has become a walking brand and the most reported politician in Nigeria today. His opponents must have underrated this truism when they decided to try to bully him into submission. He has demonstrated an uncommon courage and resilience, the secret of which I discovered on this mission.

Our first port of call was the Kelsey Harrison Hospital equipped to handle complex medical conditions. I must note that healthcare is totally free in Rivers State to all residents. We went round the high-tech facilities and could not believe what we saw. Amaechi has engaged the services of accomplished personnel at home and abroad. We also visited the Maxillofacial Hospital and the Governor freely interacted with patients. Seeing is believing, I was awe-struck. We went to Primary Health Centres built to handle simple cases before being referred to bigger hospitals or in case of emergencies.

All these centres have apartments to cater for resident doctors. The attention to the finest details in the Amaechi government beats my imagination. Nothing is left to chance. What struck me was that Amaechi designed the health facilities to uniform standards. It did not matter if they were in the main city or in far-flung villages. Not just that, he has quadrupled the number of doctors he met when he assumed power in the State. Amaechi’s humongous spending on health is a testimonial of his belief in the adage that “health is wealth.”

We got a similar feeling when we arrived at the Primary schools. It won’t be an exaggeration to describe these schools as some of the best I have seen at home and abroad. I can safely declare that I have never seen anything as good even in schools where parents cough out millions of Naira per annum. Not only is education completely free, students are entitled to free uniforms, sandals, feeding and so on. A lot has been invested in creating a modern and aesthetically attractive as well as conducive environment in these amazing structures.

All the schools have well-stocked libraries, computer centres, colourful play-areas, massive sports complexes, elaborate Assembly halls, sick bays, and so on. Only 30 pupils are allowed per teacher in Primary schools and 25 in secondary schools. There was no difference in the ones we found when we drove through the famous Ogoniland. I’m reasonably assured that these students are exposed to superior conditions of learning than most of university students do anywhere in Nigeria.

The model secondary schools are even more ambitious. We visted a school where all the nearly 1,000 students live on campus and teachers have their own apartments, 24-hour electricity, feeding and so on, unbelievably free. These schools are powerfully equipped with separate state-of-the-art laboratories in various disciplines including Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Agric-Econs. I never saw anything that grandiloquent in my entire schooling career. No one but a vicious soul would suggest Amaechi has not surpassed himself in the provision of excellent services in education. I would be delighted to see the Federal Ministry of education replicate Amaechi’s vision nationwide.

Amaechi’s determination to get electricity to every nook and cranny of Rivers is legendary. He has taken the power projects that were started by his former boss, Dr Peter Odili, to a higher level and different stages of completion. The state is lucky to have a Governor who’s not noted and notorious for abandoning projects. Our visit to Afam Power Station was an eye-opener on how the power of determination can achieve wonders. By the time all the power plants come into operation by the end of 2014, as envisioned by the Governor, Rivers alone would have access to over 700 megawatts, much more than it would require for many years to come. The State is already generating and supplying its own power and should be self-sufficient in due course.

Amaechi is obsessed with job creation and poverty alleviation. Everywhere we went, he emphasised that all his pet projects have one intended purpose, how to keep the restive youths busy and away from trouble. This was amply demonstrated at the Songhai Farms and the Banana plantations in Tai Local Government area, where the target is to employ at least 4,000 youths. At Songhai Farms, I saw a resort that was still in its pristine state but being tendered with care like the Garden of Eden. The fish tanks were enormous with Tilapia and catfish in abundance. We saw the bush-meat called grass-cutter living and procreating in utter majesty.

There were different sections for rice, okra, pineapple, pawpaw, cows, and so on. It was gratifying drinking the various fresh juices produced on the farm. From here, we went to the Banana farm. But we encountered a little mishap in Ogoniland where we saw many people with buckets going to have a free scoop at the overflowing crude oil from a suspected pipe cannibalisation. We had to make a quick detour for both security and safety reasons. It was my first ever experience of oil theft even if this was on a much smaller scale to that of the real buccaneers.

On our way back to Port Harcourt, I could not believe the terrible state of the East-West Road as we approached the city. Amaechi noted that it was the innocuous request he first made to the Federal Government to repair the road that pitted him against the powers-that-be in Abuja. He said he had had to fix some roads that were under the jurisdiction of the Federal just to make life less tedious for his people. A lot of the State roads have been earmarked for comprehensive repairs or total overhaul to prevent being washed away effortlessly by erosion.


We came down to see the level of work currently going on in Woji. It is a very ambitious project that would gulp a lot of money to complete. One of the road construction projects was actually awarded to the same man who wrote that Amaechi had done nothing in the State. The names of those who had benefited in various contracts read like that of who is who in the State but it seems their insatiable appetite for more largesse is the major source of friction between him and these privileged elites who see him as being too radical and standoffish.

At the end of the day, Rotimi might not be a Saint but he can’t be called a non-performer either. His work speaks volume about a man whose name Rotimi confers on him some tohttp://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2132711723392135035#editor/target=post;postID=748162907428579877ga of mysticism. Rotimi, according to Yoruba cosmogony is an unusual child who is capable of all manner of stunts. It is usually given to an Abiku or Ogbanje. Anyone who’s familiar with Yoruba and Igbo folktales would remember how this type of child would die several times and return to the same parents over and over again. This child puts the efficacy of the herbalist and his charms to waste and shame. Wole Soyinka and John Pepper Clark captured the mysterious nature of this enfant terrible vividly in their poems titled Abiku. Amaechi is probably acting out the true character of someone whose appointment with fate cannot be altered by mere mortals.

It is for that reason that I appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan to embrace this young man warts and all, during the press conference I addressed before departing Port Harcourt. Amaechi is without doubt one of the golden boys of this generation. A father should be proud of such a man and should not voluntarily throw him away. A father who donates his child to the devil should never complain when he adopts the name Esubiyi, meaning “the devil gave birth to me.” A rejected son on account of sibling rivalry is bound to seek other parents, as a matter of expediency.

This is what may happen if this political debacle is not resolved soon and speedily.

How Séx workers take over Lagos banks at nights

This story tells about how call girls use new generation banks in Lagos as a stand to execute the quick duties at night. They make use of nooks and every available space in the bank surrounding, security guard room, benches, e.t.c. to lodge so as to execute their nocturnal assignment. Continue reading...

"Hello handsome. My name is Ella – Emmanuela. I’ll give you a memorable night. If you can’t afford an all night (N15,000), we can have a ‘short time’ somewhere around. It’ll cost you much less (N2,500). Just pay the security man there (pointing to a bank opposite) and it’s as good as done,” a call girl said.

A bank? Yes. By 4pm on any business day, the doors of banks in Lagos State, like in every other part of the country, are shut to customers. But by 10pm, many of these banks play host to another set of customers.

Investigation reveals that the numerous commercial séx workers who throng the Allen Avenue-Opebi and GRA Ikeja business districts in Lagos, make use of bank premises to service their customers.

The Allen Avenue and Opebi axis is known as a hub for commercial séx workers in Lagos mainland. It is not strange to see scantily-dressed young women of all shapes and sizes parading both sides of the road at the Opebi Roundabout around 10pm every night.

During a visit to a popular club in Opebi, where many of these commercial séx workers station themselves, Saturday PUNCH had a chat with a 29 year old young man who confirmed that he had used the premises of a bank for ‘short time’ purpose.

The security man is the main brain behind the deal. The young man's account

The young man says no matter how tired he is after closing for the day in the insurance company where he works, he likes to visit the clubs in the area.

He says, “I was going home after visiting some clubs in Opebi one Friday night and I was bored. While driving through Allen, I saw a girl that caught my fancy and I stopped to talk to her. I knew I could not take her home. So, I asked where we could do a ‘short time’ and she pointed to a bank.

“I did not understand what she meant. There was an ATM at the front of the bank, so I thought she meant that I had to withdraw money and pay her first. But before I could say anything, she said I should go and talk to the security man at the bank and give him N500. She told me the guard would watch over my car as well. After we were done, I gave the girl N1,500. That was a funny time because we even broke the security man’s bench and had to leave in a hurry before he noticed.”
