Female University Students warming beds of wealthy POLITICIANS
Many undergraduates are smiling to the bank, courtesy of a
booming business called “pimping” on campus. Gilbert Alasa (a 400-Level Foreign
Languages, University of Benin student) examines the new
trend in campus prostitution.
Below is an insider perspective into the shameful act:
They cruise about in posh cars while their colleagues cramp
into rickety campus shuttles. They live large on campus even though the source
of their wealth cannot be openly discussed. From the comfort of their
off-campus hostels, they negotiate high-profile deals with powerful
personalities while their mates sweat it out in stuffy libraries in school.
Welcome to the world
of campus pimps and whores. From time immemorial, prostitution has been a
thriving business. Even on campuses, it is big time business. Now, the trade
has taken a new dimension. As the money-spinning business grows, so are the
players increasing by the day. Among them is a network of middlemen known as
pimps.
Campus pimps are
socially-inclined students who explore their gregarious appeal as a tool for
gathering female students to warm the beds of the well-heeled in the society.
CAMPUSLIFE
investigations revealed that the pimps could be “party-riders” who keep tab of
social events on campus or student-politicians who exploit their relationship
with those in power. The big men could also be affluent private sector
operators or cult heroes who entice their admirers with financial rewards.
Campuses are blessed
with a sizeable number of young women, ready and willing to be night companions
of these wealthy people, who may be politicians, top civil servants and
business magnates. Campus pimps come in handy as intermediaries between the big
men and their aristos – a parlance for student-prostitutes.
Among students of a
federal university in the Southsouth, the story of four female students is
still fresh. CAMPUSLIFE gathered that a member of a popular political party was
in town for last-minute campaign during last year’s elections. In the evening,
the weather was cold because of a downpour earlier in the day. To keep the
guests warm, four female undergraduates were drafted to the politician and his
three-man entourage. But one of the girls played a fast one on the men as she
made away with the politician’s money. The story is being told till today on
that campus.
In Edo State, campus
pimps are regular faces at popular hang-outs in high-brow areas of Benin City.
Such spots include Ritz Carlton, Hexagon, Debis Kitchen, Swallow, Time-out, Royal
Marble, West View, Yak Hotel near the Federal Polytechnic, Auchi (AUCHI POLY)
and Best Western.
When patronage is
low, some of the girls take to stripteasing for a fee to cover operating costs
incurred by the pimps. “You don’t expect me to fuel my car or burn up cash on
taxi and phone calls organising babes without getting returns at the end. In
fact, some of these yeye (stupid) girls want to be paid per night,” fumed a
pimp who is a drop-out from a popular private university in Edo State.
Investigation
revealed that many aristos now bypass pimps because of their haughtiness. In a
chat on a social networking site, a pimp who uses Juiceman as username, found
nothing offensive in his profession. Rather, he describes himself as a smart
fellow who uses his social skills to make money.
“Clearly, I am not a
robber, terrorist or Yahoo-yahoo boy (Internet fraudsters). I am not even close
to most of the guys involved in bunkering or kidnapping. I am just a young man
trying to key into the philosophy of using what I have to get what I want,”
Juiceman wrote.
He is not alone in
this attempt to rationalise has position. According to his counterpart, who is
in the organising team of a popular annual show at the University of Lagos
(UNILAG), the pimp business is no vice as it only complements an existing
social problem.
“For me, there is no
justification for criticising what I do to see myself through school. I am
neither the man who sleeps with the girls nor am I the girls who chose to sleep
around. After all, these men are proud to steal from our collective treasury.
So, we just have to squeeze them to reclaim our stolen fortunes,” he said.
For a beauty queen
and 300-Level Insurance student of UNILAG, Violet Olisah, the pimps and the
aristos are culpable. “The pimping mess should be utterly condemned. The pimp
is as guilty as the promiscuous girls. Many destinies have been cut in their
primes through the activities of these pimps. The act must be stopped.”
On profitability, the
door swings both ways for the pimp and the sex-hawker. Most times, the pimp
gets his compensation from the “client” and agrees to reimburse the girls after
the sex romp. Other times, the “client” demands to personally remunerate the
aristo while paying off the pimp straight-away.
But Oyewole Ajibade
(not his real name), 200-Level Philosophy, Ekiti State University (EKSU), said
the later-payment method often put the pimp at a disadvantage. “When a client
pays you and the aristo separately, the pimp stands to lose. But when you are paid
both your charges and that of the girl in question, you hold the edge of the
knife as to how the spoil is shared. So, it is better that way,” Oyewole
quipped.
A magazine
exclusively reported the activities of a pimp, who organised two female students
of a university in the Southwest for a former Minister. After an orgy sex romp
in a five-star hotel in Abuja, the girls and the pimp were handsomely rewarded
“for a job well-done.” This shows that politicians are culpable in the
decadence.
In a chat with our
correspondent, a Lagos-based legal practitioner, Mr David Umoru, lamented the
non-implementation of the extant law barring such trade. “Prostitution, as a
social malady, has its effect on the society. Despite the fact that there are
legal frameworks that bar the illicit trade, government and its agencies are
paying lip service to stopping the trade....” Especially because top
politicians are the main men
