Call Girls Besiege Entertainment Joints In PH
It is no longer news that most entertainment outfits in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital are dominated by call girls, strippers and Makossa dancers, what is news now is that the joints are now besieged by foreign girls who exhibit sex shows on the floors of the pubs.
Some of them are very daring sex workers who came to the state initially as strippers who danced naked as well as Makossa and Etighi dancers, but today they have taken over from the professional sex workers in the city with their live sex shows which is now a major attraction to youths and other adult fun seekers.
The influx of these sex workers or prostitutes, if you like, from neigbouring states and countries to the oil rich city poses serious threat to the local prostitutes as they suffer decline in their inglorious trade. These foreign ladies of easy virtue are usually cladded in skimpy dresses that expose all the essential parts of their bodies including thighs and boobs.
These ladies would be easily found in most of the popular joints around the Hotel Presidential, Rumuola and GRA axis of the city were most of these joints are located. Other areas include the Old Port Harcourt Township, Azikiwe and parts of D’Line amongst others.
In tune with the new trend, most of the relaxation joints display pornographic pictures on their wells, inside some of these joints, tables and chairs are arranged in such a way that leaves specious areas on the floor for the sex dancers to display their bodies and tantalizing boobs to attract prospective male patrons.
The Tide Entertainment reliably gathered that before the show begins, both sex partners would have taken several bottles of popular concortions of alcoholic drink called “ monkey tail” while others settle with another alcoholic herbal drink called “Alamo Bitters”, to boast their libido and boldness, so that they can last several hours of marathon sex.
Commenting on the new trend, a Port Harcourt based show biz personality and General Manager, Clubs, Royal Africk Group of Hotels, Prince Victor Ifeanyi Mini, noted that the recent development is alien to the state’s nite life and entertainment business. He noted that the activities of these sex workers are only known in cities such as Kano, Lagos, Asaba, Delta State and parts of Abuja.
He, stressed that the influx of these prostitutes could be as a result of the various festivities that took place in the state in the last few weeks such as the Port Harcourt City centenary celebration and the ongoing CARNIRIV which have attracted both the foreign and local tourists, the business community, politicians and other personalities to the state.
According to him, this development must have also attracted these ladies of easy fixture to the state capital to catch fun, woo customers and make some money for the Christmas and New year celebrations. He however, advised that the activities of these call girls must be checked and monitored so as to ensure sanity in the hospitality industry in the state. He also called on the operators of these joints to maintain standards and decency in their operations in order not to overheat the system or take immorality to the highest level.
The Tide Entertainment reports that International stars Busta Rhymes and Gunna topped the bill, while the festival showcased a powerhouse roster of African talent including Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Shenseea, Phyno, Fave, Juma Jux, Qing Madi, and Diamond Platnumz, among others.
The festival launched December 7 with an eye-catching opening ceremony featuring aerial ballet performers, establishing an elevated artistic vision for the weeks ahead. That first night brought Nigerian heavyweights Wande Coal, Young Jonn, Ice Prince, Darey, Fola, Shoday, and Jerry Shaffer to the stage.
The Federal Ministry of Art and Culture partnered with the festival, with Minister Hannatu Musa Musawa acknowledging Detty December Fest as a vital force in Nigeria’s cultural landscape. She emphasized its impact on amplifying the country’s creative presence internationally and driving holiday tourism.
The 2025 edition raised the bar for live entertainment in Lagos, building on Detty December’s established reputation as a catalyst for tourism, entertainment, and economic growth during the year-end season.
The milestone was confirmed on Monday by FilmOne, the movie’s distributor, who announced that the film is now the fastest title in West Africa to cross ?1 billion. The achievement further cements Akindele’s dominance in the Nigerian film industry.
Since its release, Behind the Scenes has shattered multiple records. It posted the highest single-day box office gross ever on Boxing Day, earning an impressive ?129.5 million. It is also the highest-grossing film of 2025 so far, and remarkably, it marks Akindele’s third movie to cross the ?1 billion mark, a feat no other director has achieved.
The Tide Entertainment reports that with this latest success, Akindele has strengthened her position as Nollywood’s highest-grossing producer of all time, becoming the first filmmaker to deliver three billion-naira blockbusters within a single calendar year.
Reacting to the achievement, the actress and filmmaker expressed heartfelt gratitude to her supporters, collaborators, and distributors, while also revealing the film’s growing international reach.
“Over the years, I’ve always valued my fans, because without God and you, I am nobody,” she wrote.“Thank you all for coming out to watch this movie and for supporting my brand through the years.Thank you to the distributors, my colleagues—especially those not in the movie who still came out to meet and greet my fans.Big love to the cast and crew. This is only the beginning; let’s take Behind the Scenes even further.”
She also disclosed that the film is currently screening in cinemas across two European countries and the United States, signaling its expanding global appeal.
Akindele’s box office dominance has been nothing short of historic. In 2023, Battle on Buka Street became Nollywood’s highest-grossing film with ?640 million. She raised the bar again in January 2024 when A Tribe Called Judah became the first Nigerian movie to hit ?1 billion. Later that year, Everybody Loves Jenifa broke another record, grossing ?1.6 billion to become the highest-earning film in West African history.
Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face, has revealed his former bandmate Faze’s position in the long-running rift between him and their other ex-bandmate, Blackface.
The Tide Entertainment recalls that Blackface and 2Face have been involved in an on-and-off feud over the years, with the former repeatedly accusing the latter of intellectual property theft, allegations 2Face has consistently denied.
Addressing fans midway through his performance at the Made in Benue Festival in Makurdi recently, 2Face said Faze has maintained a neutral stance in the dispute between him and Blackface.
He stressed that the rift does not involve Faze in any way.
“You all know that Plantashun Boiz consisted of Blackface, 2Face and Faze. But due to some unforeseen circumstances, Blackface is not with us right now.
“However, no matter the beef wey me and Blackface get, nothing concern Faze inside. So, Faze is right here with me and we will represent Plantashun Boiz,” he said.
The rift between Blackface and 2Face began after Plantashun Boiz disbanded in the 2000s.
Following their split, Blackface blamed 2Face for the breakup and accused him of song theft.
The relationship between the duo has remained strained over the years despite several attempts at reconciliation, with peace efforts often short-lived.
