It is no gainsaying the fact
that the scramble for supremacy among leisure spot owners in Nigeria have pushed many of them to devise devious and amorous ways of attracting and keeping clients. A recent investigation by The Tide entertainment reveals that the ‘modus operandi’ of this hotel and nude club operators include engaging young girls of between 18 and 38 years of age to work for them as strippers and sex-hawkers.
The strippers dance provocatively nude to lascivious music in their bars. The strippers take turns to entertain guests, the dance steps are mostly obscene, the stripers unveil and weired style of twisting, flexing, rotating and spinning round the pole and throwing herself up before cascading upside down or slidding downward in slow motion with her legs and feet holding tight at the top pole, while her head is towards the floor like a python climbing down from an Iroko tree proudly revealing her private part by spreading her two legs wide for all to see.
The stripper further struts her breasts and yanks of her underwear with a lot of skill, she begins another form of exotic act as she rubs her body on men, performing a lap dance, which is cuddling the body to make a request while the men look in admiration as the dancer pulls off her underwear reading their private parts.
Some of the men who get aroused move behind the centre stage and engage in sexual acts with the dancers for a fee usually between N1000 and N5000, people watch the acts as the stripper mourns loudly to attract attention. The sex hawkers easily go haywire when they sight expatriate man who usually come to unwind in such hangouts. Some of the girls release all the tricks in their bag to seduce the men to have sex with them.
However, some of the patron sometimes decline having sex opting instead for the lap dance for a fee of N1000 as having sex at the VIP inner chamber is expensive, it goes as high as N15,000 just for a shot time. Most of the sex hawkers go to the extrance by having anal sex in the flirting with a customer is never a big deal for strippers because two men can share a stripper for a lap dance.

Other areas include: Rumuola Junction, Hotel Presidential axis, GRA junction, Eliozu, Rukpokwu, Azikiwe Road in Mile 2 Diobu as well as other nooks and crannies of the state capital and its neighbourning towns.

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.

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.
