A Nigerian lady, Bena, also known as Bennie, has recounted how she abandoned her marriage and children in a bid to ‘japa’ from the harsh economic adversities in the country only to end up in prostitution.
She said her journey into prostitution in Europe was also assisted by the attitude of her carefree spouse and deception and lure of a friend in cohort with a trafficking syndicate.
She spoke in Nigerian Pidgin that, “Since I enter this Yankee, na ashawo work I dey do. My name na Bena but them dey call me Bennie. The abroad wey don turn to hell for me now. Na every day I dey regret this decision….”
“I am originally from Lagos, but because of poverty, I had to leave my parents, my husband and children to travel abroad.” she noted.

She lamented how she found out only after arrival abroad that the promised job was prostitution.
She said she had a job in Lagos, but the take-home was inadequate to meet her needs and “na only sex my husband know, not responsible.
“I don lose my marriage because long throat for money and outside country wan kill me,” she noted.
