Muslims’ Ramadan: Lagos Pr0stitutes Lament Low Patronage

As a result of the ongoing Ramadan, Lagos prostitutes have lamented that the ongoing ongoing Muslims’ fasting month, Ramadan, have really affected their trade so badly that they now experience low patronage,Pm news reports.

According to encomium, checks in some fun spots in certain parts of Lagos state shows that some of the prostitutes a.k.a runs girls, are not patronized at the moment. The situation has forced them to reduce their charges ridiculously.

Pleading anonymity, one of the prostitutes said;

“Most of us you see wandering up and down find it difficult to get any offer from men now, whether short rest or lodging, irrespective of the fact that prices are cheaper now compared to what we used to charge before Ramadan. Although, things were also tough before the month started, not as bad as we experience now.

“Now, we close early. What is the essence of standing till late hours and yet, nothing to write home about. No permanent customer now. If you’re lucky to see any man now, just look for extra way of convincing him if you don’t want to sleep hungry. The economy has been terribly bad even before the fasting. That’s why we now find it more difficult to survive.”

Another commercial sex worker, Joy, also corroborated the earlier submission. She added that at times she treks home when she can’t make a dime that can even make up for her transport back home.

“This fasting has spoilt business for us as if all men patronizing us are fasting. Even, the non Muslims among them have deserted us since the fasting started. Even most of us settle for as less as N1,500 now so as not to go back home empty handed.

Sometimes, I trek home. And the fasting has just started. That means we still have a long way to go. Coping without customers is now extremely difficult. Some of us even fight because of men now because very few men patronize us. I don’t have any other trade than ‘runs’. I pray the fasting ends, the business will pick up a little.”
