Prostitution is seen as one of the oldest professions known to mankind, but it becomes absurd when children freely engage in such practice. From being deceived into the trade, some teenage girls grow to enjoy the services they render, and continue with it, to the point of being involved in taking drugs that enhance their energy to withstand more men, thereby making more money.

Not all the teenagers who are introduced into the business however continue with it. Enquiries by this reporter showed that some hate what they are into, but because they are stuck and held down by their traffickers, they continue grudgingly, while those who are able to, always escape from such places where they are kept.

Checks  show that many communities in Anambra State have various locations where ladies stay, for the primary purpose of entertaining men who seek sex.

While it is almost becoming normal to have such places, the new trade is to have places where teenage girls provide the same services. Sources disclosed to this reporter that the new trend of having brothels that have underaged girls is because many men now prefer them, while classifying the older prostitutes as being ‘overused’, hence the belief that the younger girls are better.

Mr CY (not real name), a resident of Awka, who spoke during a discussion on the topic, said: “Some men prefer young girls. They believe that such young girls provide greater sexual satisfaction, and since they are not yet as wild as the established prostitutes, they charge less, and constitute less problem to men, unlike the older prostitutes, who may want to embarrass you or put you in trouble.

“On the other hand, there is what I have heard people say, I don’t know if it has spiritual connotation, but some men believe that by sleeping with younger girls, you are renewing your blood, and it makes you fresh, just the same way some women seek young boys, with the aim of using them to renew their blood.

“But one thing you must know is that the kind of men who patronise such places are touts, criminals and some old drunkards. Go to Amansea, you will see a lot of them. Their patrons are mostly Fulani and Hausa boys who tend cattle at the cattle market and conductors of lorries and their drivers.”
