According to a report from Vanguard, an influx of Cameroonian and Nigerien girls are threatening to take over the sex market in Calabar from locals.
These dark skinned new entrants, aged between 20 and 25 years, offer “better services” at cheaper fees to teeming clients and seem poised to take over the trade and the local girls do not seem to be finding it funny.
Apart from being classy like some of the Calabar tertiary education institution girls, reports say they are available (night and day), which gives them the edge as they give clients the opportunity to take a shot at them whenever they want it unlike the local ‘hustlers’ who are available mostly at night.
One of the girls, Ethel from Mamfe in southern part of Cameroon, in adulterated French and pidgin English, said business brought her to Calabar and, as such, she has no time for frivolities like complaining when a customer wants more if he can pay additional money.
“Each shot is N2,000 or N1,500 and, so long as he pays additional money, I have no issues with him”, she said in French accented pidgin English.
She said her day starts at 9:00 am where she takes her bath and then heads to one of the eateries for breakfast. Thereafter, if she gets a call from any of her customers, she invites him over and business begins. At 1 pm, she goes to a local canteen to eat a launch of eba or rice with pepper soup and then return to the hotel for a drink with colleagues and intermittently goes to her room to service clients. “I don’t go out to hunt for men, they know where to find me or I call them on phone”, she stated.
