A Nigerian woman has sparked reactions on social media after revealing that she turned to sex work following unsuccessful attempts to make a living through several small businesses.
In a video circulating online, the woman said she had tried different ventures in a bid to support herself financially, including selling granite and sachet water, running a salon and offering makeup services.
According to her, none of the businesses generated enough income to cover her expenses, leaving her struggling to meet basic needs despite her efforts.
She maintained that her decision was not driven by laziness, explaining that she had explored several ways to earn a living before settling on sex work, which she said had proved more financially rewarding for her.
“I’m not a lazy girl. I’ve done any business you could literally think of in this life to survive, but none worked. Guess the one that worked for me? Olosho work,” she said.
The woman added that she intended to continue with the work for the rest of her life, despite the possibility of being judged by people who disagreed with her decision.
She also invited prospective clients to contact her, describing herself as expensive.
Her disclosure has drawn attention online to the financial difficulties some people face while trying to establish sustainable sources of income. However, the circumstances surrounding her experiences and the wider reactions to the video have not been independently verified.
