ASABA SEX MARKET.

Asaba the capital of oil-rich Delta State, is one of the fastest growing cities in Nigeria. Luxury hotels, palatial mansions and shopping malls dot the landscape of the city, advertising its status as the capital of one of Nigeria’s leading oil-bearing states.

However, like most cities the world over, Asaba has its fair share of slums and shantytowns- the most notable being Cable Point. And on the fringes of Cable Point is the popular Abraka Market sometimes referred to as Hausa Market because of the huge number of Hausa-Fulani and other people from the northern parts of Nigeria that ply their wares in the market.

“Abraka Market” is not just a market but a sprawling ghetto where several hundreds of people, mostly poor and less privileged live.  The market proper, is what a casual and first time visitor sees when he walks into Abraka Market. It is mainly a foodstuff market with mostly Hausa and Igbo traders selling rice, beans, yams, onions, fruits, vegetable, etc. But when you walk deeper into the market, you stumble into the residential side of Abraka Market and it is a real ghetto in every sense of it.

The houses, arranged in rows after rows, are mostly one-room shacks constructed with cheap corrugated metal, plywood and tarpaulin. Heavily crowded, dirty and lacking in the most basic amenities, this ghetto is home to perhaps some of the happiest Nigerians who despite the palpable poverty that they live in, never fail to “bubble.” The dozens of drinking joints, rundown restaurants, viewing centres, betting joints that dot the place, are open to business almost 24/7.

A melting pot of sort, you will find Nigerians from across the country but particularly from the Middle Belt well represented here. It is a place where any homeless person from any part of the country can easily get a roof over his head at least for a night.

However, one will not fail to notice that the Hausa-Fulani have their own quarters in the ghetto. Their own section is rather reserved and restricted with a part of it housing married women only and a no-go-area to outsiders. You will also not find drinking joints on this side of the ghetto.

But the larger and bubbling part of Abraka Market is deeper inside and the population here is mixed: Middle Belters, Igbos, Yorubas, Niger-Deltans, etc. This is the real Sodom where you will encounter the drinking joints, viewing centres and indeed one of the biggest sex market in Nigeria. Cheap prostitutes in their dozens living in hole-sized rooms in several rows facing each other, can be seen soliciting customers even in the early hours of the morning. And by night, it is one of the hottest and raunchiest red-light districts in Nigeria where booze, fuck and merriment reign supreme.

The bulk of the prostitutes are from the Middle Belt particular Benue State. In fact any visitor will easily hear Tivi Language being spoken by many of the call girls all over the place. Recent security challenges in the Benue Valley is believed to have swelled the population of Benue girls here as more and more people flee the region to other places for safety and survival.

Sex here is cheap and as low as N500 or less for short time.  But the girls have classes. Girls from the South-East who seem cleaner, prettier and more enlightened, charge higher than the Middle Belt girls do. Ditto for Akwa-Cross and the few Edo-Delta girls here. There is indeed some sort of distrust among the girls as verified by our reporter, with the latter accusing Middle Belt girls (Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa, etc) of “spoiling market,” with low charges.

Nevertheless, there are enough customers to go round. The Abraka Market serves as a terminal-point for trucks bringing foodstuffs from the North to the Delta side of the South-South. The implication is that dozens of truck drivers and their “motor boys” converge on the market every day. They form the bulk of the patrons of the Abraka Market’s red-light district. Some of the call girls confided in our reporter that the lorry drivers pay good money especially when they meet a girl they like and who gives them what they want.

Amaka, an Igbo call girl who spoke with our correspondent said she is not bothered by the low charges by some girls because she has her special customers who are mainly lorry drivers and they pay her well because she satisfies them and give them what they like. Most of the truck drivers we learnt, used to sleep overnight with their favourite call girls and some of them can pay as much as ten to fifteen thousand naira to pass the night and get fucked to their satisfaction. “Those wey dey collect five hundred naira, make dem dey collect,” Amaka fumed. “I no care becos I get my customers wey I dey target. Dem dey pay me wetin I want and I dey satisfy dem,” she stated.

Be informed also that Hausa ladies are in prostitution too in the Abraka Market and they have their own section. Our investigation reveals that they are mostly widows, divorcees or runaway housewives who came down South to seek greener pastures. Interestingly, most of their patrons are Hausa-Fulani men especially the young, single and ubiquitous ones doing menial jobs in town or selling one stuff or the other on wheelbarrows.

Patrons of the Abraka sex market equally come from inside Asaba and Onitsha as well. Separated only by the River Niger, the two cities of Onitsha and Asaba fondly called the twin cities, are quite close and it takes just one hundred or at most two hundred naira to take a bus from Bridge Head/Upper Iweka in Onitsha to Abraka Market in Asaba. Many patrons simply jump into a bus in Onitsha and in few minutes, they are at the Abraka Market in Asaba to take advantage of the cheap sex and the seclusion of the place to have a quick fuck and dash back to Onitsha.

Despite the odd-mix of people and the many contradictions of the Abraka sex market, residents vow that it is a peaceful place where people cohabit and do their own thing. For a ghetto of this size, crime is low as attested to by law enforcement officers. Perhaps because of the low crime rate, visits and raids by law enforcement officers are rare. Both patrons and prostitutes say there is little or no police harassment nor extortion which is one of the things that they like about the place. At the front of the Abraka Market however, a police armored vehicle and patrol van are always stationed there in an apparent show of police physical presence and perhaps to swiftly quell any ugly incident that could arise especially one bothering on inter-ethnic clashes.

All told, this sex market that is bigger than the Mabushi sex market in Abuja, is worth visiting if not to have fun, at least for sightseeing. It is another world altogether.

UPDATE:

In May 2020, the Delta State Government demolished the Abraka Market and effectively putting an end to the Asaba Sex Market. https://www.deltastate.gov.ng/why-we-demolished-abraka-market-okowa/

I Caught My Husband Having Sex with My Best Friend —Wife

An estranged Ibadan housewife, Yinka Adaramola has dragged her husband, Bode Adaramola before the Grade C Customary Court, Idi-Ape, Ibadan, Oyo State for the dissolution of their marriage, claiming that her husband is an incurable flirt and she caught him once banging her best friend in their house.

“My lord I am fed up with our marriage,” Yinka told the court during her examination in chief. “My husband has ceased to give me rest of mind. He has many of lovers he sleeps with. I once caught him and my best friend having sex in our house. He apologized but has not ceased from seeing the woman in question.

“He is always accusing me of having an affair with his pastor, which is not true. His pastor approached me for friendship, but I refused him. I reported him to my husband but rather than trust me, he started taunting me with it.

 “My lord, my mind is made up, please separate us,” she pleaded.

Her husband, Bode Adaramola however did not oppose the prayer for dissolution of the marriage. He urged the court to dissolve the marriage saying he was fed up with his wife. Hear him:

“My lord, I’m also fed up with the marriage. My wife is not giving me rest of mind. She is a flirt. She had an affair with my pastor and I had to move in with her friend when I noticed she wasn’t interested in me anymore. More so, she is not satisfying me as she should.

“She has packed out of my house and has turned my children against me.”

The court in its judgment dissolved the marriage entered into under native law and custom, 32 years ago.

My husband rapes me all the time – Wife cries out.

The issue of marital rape was at the centre of a divorce case before a Customary Court sitting at Mapo, Ibadan, last week. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN,) reports that the Petitioner, Olabisi Adejola, pleaded with the court to dissolve her 16-year-old union to her husband, Paul, because he is too sexually active and often rapes her.

Testifying before the court’s President, Chief Ademola Odunade, Obabisi, a mother of three, said that her husband might snuff the life out of her if the court did not separate them because he usually rapes her.

“My lord, I made up my mind to call it quits with Paul because there is no peace in our marriage.

“Paul often subjects me to untold brutality in the process of sleeping with me.

“If he does not succeed in raping me, he beats or rains curses on me.

“Paul is forever requesting for sex and I fear that he might turn me into something else if I don’t leave him.

“In fact, he is a terrible drunkard and even quarrels with our 15-year-old first child.

“Paul never fends for the children and I, let alone showing concern about their education.

“Due to his irresponsibility, I have moved away from Paul’s home since March 4,” the News Agency of Nigeria quoted her as saying.

The defendant, who earned his living as an entertainer, consented to the suit but denied the allegations levelled against him.

Paul, a resident of Oke-Ado area of Ibadan, however, submitted that he was pleased with his wife filing the divorce suit because she was a dishonest partner.

“My lord, Olabisi made up her mind to leave me because I caught her conspiring with thieves.

“A gang of armed robbers have been keeping stolen money and other items in her custody and I complained bitterly about it.

“Before I returned home on that day, Olabisi had packed her belongings.

“In addition, she is a wayward wife because she sometimes left home for three days fornicating around.

“It is not true that I don’t cater for the children.

“Also, I have never forced Olabisi into having sexual intercourse with me,” Paul said.

The court held that there was no more reason keeping the marriage since the duo have expressed their interest to separate. The court therefore dissolved the marriage, gave custody of the children to the Petitioner (Olabisi) and directed the Respondent (Paul) to be paying N12,000 monthly for the children’s upkeep.

The court also ordered Paul to be responsible for the education and other needs of the children.

"Our pastor slept with me in my parents house"-- Teenager in Edo State as DSS arrests pastor

A 17-year old girl (names withheld) has narrated how the resident Pastor of the Amagba branch of the Living Faith Church a.k.a Winners Chapel, Pastor Kingsley Emeka Mokwunye, introduced her to alcohol and has sex with her severally.

The teenager who spoke to reporters in Bénin City said Pastor Kingsley also slept with her in her father’s house.

She was in tears as she narrated how the affair began in September last year shortly after she finished her secondary education.

Stating the reasons for opening up on the love affair, she said she wants to leave the state for lack of concentration and that she wants Pastor Kingsley to be jailed.

According to her, “He used to call me to advise me to stay away from boys, to live a good life and always respect my parents. I took it like he was my own father that I could trust and tell him anything I want to say.

“That was how he started calling me, talking to me till it gets to a time he told me that he likes me. I took it as a normal thing. He started taking advantage of me. He tells me I do not know what he is doing for me. He started showing me things I have not seen before and took me to places I have never been to. That was how it started. He was the first person to show me how condom looked like. He taught me how to take alcohol.

“He told me not to tell my parents. He said they will understand what he is doing. He slept with me many times including our house when my parents are not at home.

“Thinking about the thing has affected me educationally. I could not read. The whole thing was disturbing me. When I told his wife, she said I was lying and told me to come to their house and repeat it before her husband.

“I want Pastor Kingsley to go to jail. I was always shocked anytime I am in church and see him preaching. I was afraid of telling my mother what was happening”.

Her father who is also the Board Chairman of the church branch, Mr, Paul Obidah, said he was shocked that a Pastor he trusted so much could destroy his only daughter.

Paul said what pained him was that Pastor Kingsley had sex with his daughter in his house and even when his daughter was having her monthly flow.

He said he want justice in the case and not swept under the carpet.

His words, “I have been in the church for the past 27 years. I started the church in Kaduna State. Abioye led me to Christ. I have been in Kaduna all these years. It got to a time. I decided to relocate home.

“We have been in Bénin serving God with our heart. Many pastors have come to the branch and go. I see the pastors as Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith. There was a day Pastor Kingsley came to my house, I could smell alcohol from his breath.

“One day, his wife came and said she wants to see our daughter. I left her to discuss. I heard my daughter telling her she has something to tell her. The next day, the woman came and told me she has seized her husband’s phone because of the calls her husband was making to my daughter. I just said maybe it was a family friend matter.

She said he went to pick my daughter at school, I said maybe he bought her ice cream.

“I was sleeping when something struck me to ask my daughter what is happening. I called and asked her to open up to me. She began telling me how the Pastor used to make love to her in my own house. The different hotels he took her to. She said it was a burden to her. She said she does not know what the pastor gave to her.

“This is a Pastor we trusted. We talked and do everything as a family. I didn’t know he has been doing this nonsense in my house. This is a girl that does not go out. She has been in boarding house. We don’t send her to the market. He slept with her even when she was having her menstrual flow.

“What I want my daughter to be, this man has destroyed her. He has brought shame to our house. That was why I cried out. He does not have children. Pastors Kingsley took detectives to all the hotels he has been taking my daughter to. I want justice to be done. I took him as my spiritual father. My family love God but I want justice. My daughter has lost concentration. This has been a burden to her. I want the authorities to prosecute Pastor Kingsley. I have reported to head Pastor in Edo State and he said he was not in support of Pastor Kingsley.”

Mother of the teenager, Glory, said it was a sad and unacceptable evil.

“It was my daughter who called his wife to say she has something to tell her. She has been afraid mostly seeing the man in the alter preaching that nobody can dare him. Anybody that dares him will die. My daughter was in shock. The first thing that crossed my mind was the shame in the community. How will the church take it?

“There was a time a girl in the church cried out about the Pastor. They told her not to say such things about the Pastor. I was saying Pastor cannot do that but it now came to my door step. They are all covering up things.”

It was learnt that Pastor Kingsley has been arrested and detained by men of the Department of State Security.

Sources said wife of the pastor has also been arrested as accomplice.

A senior pastor of the Winners Chapel who pleaded anonymity said the church was still investigating the matter

My sugar mummy used me as a sex slave. -TIMAYA.

Bayelsa-born Inetimi Alfred Odon, a dancehall/reggae singer better known as Timaya once had a sugar mummy but the relationship was a bad one because according to Timaya, the woman used him as a sex slave.

Timaya says he was a rebel as a youngster, and that he met the sugar mummy one time when he ran away from home. In order to survive, he had to live with the woman who demanded for sex before giving him food or money.

“I was born into a fairly comfortable family,” Timaya explained in an interview with Punch. “But I was a rebel and I often ran away from home. I once lived in Port Harcourt with a woman who was older than me and she used me like I was a sex toy.

“I had to service her whenever she had the urge for sex in exchange for food and a roof over my head. However, I have always dreamed big. Despite my travails, I never let go of my aspirations while believing that one day, I would make it big.”
