A victim of prostitutionI'm so lazy i haven't been a blogsville member for even a month and i'm finding it hard to update,well i will try my best because keeping a blog no easy at all and instead of me spending quality time on my blog i prefer nosing around the sites of fellow naija bloggers ,i definitely have to change.
Back home in Nigeria you read newspapers and you see headlines about P.I.M.P.S that lure naija girls abroad with promises of making quick money and an improved lifestyle but never in my life did i forsee crossing paths with one.
The so called "P.I.M.P" in my case was a girl (she aint a kid she's a full grown woman but i prefer reffering to her as a girl) in my university. On my first day at school she was soo nice to me and she made me feel at home ,she even volunteered to show me round the city and she took time to show me round the neighbourhood where my hostel was located you know things like grocery shops,take-away restaurants that offer the best deals and cheaper foods etc.I, just like any other human in my position thanked GOD for helping meet such a nice person(when i was coming here i hoped to meet black people cos my dad told me that you could drive for a whole 30 mins without seeing a black person(i didn't know then that he was saying that to scare me)so it was obviously a big bonus meeting not just a black person but a nigerian(their are lots of nigerians here though but i obviously didn't know that then).It was her that introduced me to fellow nigerians here.One thing that i found weird was her hesistation when i asked her her age,you know she gave me the feeling that she didn't like being the question so after a long pause,she told me she was 21 then quickly changed the subject .I being a typical Enugu girl got suspicious(i knew that this wasn't the normal case of women not liking to tell their age,i just knew she was hiding something) but i decided it was best i mind my business and not poke my nose into her .One day she was telling me about one of her friends that just moved to one of the neighbouring Emirates(Emirates are cities here in the UAE)called Ajman,she said she'd known him since when they were in junior secondary school in 89(my people please tell me if its not only a genius that can be born in 1985 and be able to be in junior secondary school at the age of four,i'm sure that even Albert Einstein entered secondary school at an older age).I obviously made her aware of her "mistake" because i wanted her to know that i knew that she was lying ,she was shocked that i could figure out she was lying(the girl is that stupid) then she told me that she was 27 but she didn't want me to know cos majority of the people in our year(including me)is under 21 and she didn't want to be the old woman of the bunch being 27 in her first year.Even a 7yr old child would not have bought her story(when i first came i told her that i was shocked at how young our coursemates were, cos in London you'll see men the same age as my dad in our class and there i was one of the youngest and here many of them are my age) so i obviously didn't ,i know that many of you might think that maybe '21' might be the age stated on her passport so thats why she's tryin to front that she's '21' but i didn't think it was(she told me how she tried to see if she could be smuggled into this country but itdidn't work so she had to pay for her ticket with a guy's credit card, after telling me that i don't think she'll try to hide something as small as the wrong age on her passport)i knew it was something else but i again didn't want to evade her privacy by being a poke-noser so i decided to allow it
But minding your business isn't always the best thing as i later found out...................................................................................................
I'll take a leaf from the books of annoying Nigerian films and say
TO BE CONTINUED
(sorrry but i will honestly continue next time)
