Some commercial sex workers in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, have decried low patronage in their business due to the scarcity of Naira notes.

Some of them who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Sunday, said the scarcity of the notes was a threat and had crippled their businesses.

They said that although the currency swap policy was commendable, the current mode of implementation was a challenge to their business.

Alexandra Tricia (pseudonym), a commercial sex worker, said her customers had reduced drastically due to the current ‘no cash syndrome’.

She described the development as both frustrating and slow for the business.

“The business is no longer booming like before because there is no cash anywhere.

“Some of my customers will come and after negotiations, they will ask if I have an account so they can transfer the money to me.

“When I give them the account number, they will press their phones and tell me that they have transferred some money.

“The worst part of it is that you will see their own alert in their phones but most times you will not get your own alert.


They will want you to start the service immediately without you getting an alert and when you refuse, some of them will start making trouble.

“Infact, there is one of my colleagues that a customer sent a transfer alert to but up till now, the money is still pending but she has serviced the man
,” she said.

Another sex worker, Ifedi Ote (pseudonym), a university dropout, said many of her colleagues in the business had left temporarily due to the current cash crunch.

She said the development had caused customers who had little cash at hand to pay ‘next to nothing’ for their services.

“Clients who have cash will price you as low as N1,500 to N3,000.

“When you refuse, they will tell you that the amount is the only cash they have on them and because I need cash, I will be forced to accept the price.


Even the Point of Sale (PoS) agent where we usually direct our customers to for money has suddenly ran out of cash for the past two weeks.

“I think this policy is a good one because it is meant to curb crime but the banks are not implementing it well,” she said.

Another commercial sex worker, Tracy Ehigbere, appealed to the authorities concerned to urgently address issues around the currency swap policy.

NAN reports that some of the mammy markets and brothels visited along FCT satellite towns which usually witnessed beehive of activities were deserted.

THEY DIDN'T SWAP YOUR CURRENCY, THEY GRABBED IT!
They say fortune favours the bold, death comes but once and the man died in he that remained silent in the face of injustice.
I add the following: damned and accursed is he that fears the chains and dungeon in which he is kept or that lives in trepidation and fear of his tormentors and persecutors.

Regardless of the dangers associated with speaking the truth in our country these days and despite the darkness and fear that has enveloped the land, I shall continue to speak that truth.
I cannot be intimidated and I cannot be silenced.
As long as there is life in me I shall speak truth even from the bed of infirmity and despite the strong wind of torment, persecution and affliction.
And what is that truth?
Let us be clear: what we are witnessing and what is unfolding in our country today comes from the pit of hell.
Worse still it is much deeper and more profound in its sheer wickedness and malevolence than most people can possibly think or appreciate.

You see, there was NEVER a currency swap. It was a currency GRAB and a classic 419.
You asked everyone, both rich and poor, to give up their hard earned cash and you refused to give them full value in return.
You took the old notes and refused to give the new.
After that you banned the use of what was left of the old, declared that it was no longer legal tender, displayed utter contempt for the Supreme Court and effectively overruled them.

You imposed a cashless society on the Nigerian people overnight and thereby destroyed the lives and businesses of millions in a matter of seconds and took away their strength and power.
Lest I forget let me add this: you said that we should all put our money in the banks and that we should live by bank transfers alone forgetting that 65% of the Nigerian people do not have a bank account.
Kindly tell me how you expect them to survive ?

And even those that have bank accounts are finding it difficult to effect transfers and transact business because the whole banking infrastructure is overloaded and has broken down.
All this in the month of our presidential election.
Let's be real: the intention was clear and there was nothing wholesome or altruistic about it.

Simply put Godwin the Greed and his Agbor Mafia are implementing the agenda of a dark, sinister, cruel and sadistic force and group of executioners who reside in the corridors of power and who seek to rob the Nigerian people of their hard-earned money, impoverish them, propel them into untold hardship, afflict them with penury, cloak them with poverty, cover them with suffering, stoke their anger, provoke their rage and incite them into protesting and rioting in the streets and hating BAT, the APC and ALL our candidates at every level!
The Illuminati and their local agents are at work in our country and they are imposing a hegelanian dialectic.
Out of the chaos that they seek to unleash will come their new order.
May God deliver us from these evil men.

Finally let us be clear and REMEMBER this when you cast your vote in the presidential elections in a few days time: Atiku LOVES this hardship and confusion and has said he wants the pain to CONTINUE!

The same with Peter Obi.
The only presidential candidate that is clearly opposed to it, that will take away the pain and that will review this ill-advised, ill-timed and patently misguided and destructive policy is our incoming President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu who was never consulted before its implementation and who bears no responsibility for the suffering, panic, fear, anger and trepidation that our people are confronted with today simply because a small handful of unelected, faceless and powerful men in the corridors of power were able to hoodwink President Muhammadu Buhari.

If you have the guts to do so and you are a servant of truth, kindly share this and let the world know that we cannot all be cowered into silence and that in our great and glorious country Nigeria there are still a handful of men who are prepared to speak truth to power.
Glory to Nigeria!
