Excerpts;
Is striptease better than the business of a lady standing on Red light district?
Yeah, it is far better though.
How much do you make per night as a stripper?
It depends on the location, for a hotel on high street, I will charge N100,000 (One Hundred Thousand only).
What about quenching the taste of guys that want superb lap dance and probably want to suck nipples?
Each club has rules and regulations that you as a stripper must adhere to.
What are some of the rules obtainable in some clubs?
Rules like, we don’t give lap-dance without collecting money; lap dance is turned by turn, on each lap dance they specify the rule as in what is entitled to the hotel, like a 70 per cent for you and a 30 per cent for the manager.
What if after a lewd lap dance the recipient wants to go ‘Deep down’?
The charges for that are at the stripper’s discretion.
Why did you choose stripping as a means of livelihood?
Hmmmn, I won’t say it is a bad business, but it has been a very good business.
As a graduate, it is not as if you have got a lucrative job waiting, besides we all know how difficult life is, and for me, I don’t want to do the standing in the high-street red-light districts, with all the stress that comes with it, haaaaaa, so I toll striptease.
What are some of the stress associated with being a stripper?
One of the stresses is maintaining your shape, you’ve got to watch what you eat to avoid stretch marks, although some clubs don’t mind all that due to the amount they offer for a stripper, on the norms a stripper is not supposed to have a stretch mark.
In the club are there rules like someone should not use a camera while stripper strips?
Yes, yes but, it’s a lie most people use their cameras on us which is against the rules, and it causes problems between the manager and customers, the question is; will the hotel manager want to lose a customer for using his camera on a stripper?
Have you experienced such a scenario, what happened?
A guy did my video, edited it and uploaded it on social media, what am I supposed to do?
I think that is not fair enough, a legal action can be instituted through civil or criminal action. under section 37 of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 (as amended).
When you saw your picture going viral how did you feel?
I felt nothing, like I told my boss once I step on stage, I switched off my face I am not that same person anymore.
What is that stuff that gives you the courage to mount the stage and do the stripping stuff fearlessly; do you take Brandy, Whisky or smoke something?
I smoke my Loud and drink Black Label; I am cool with that.
If for instance you are on stage full-fledged and you saw your uncle looking at your stack, how will you feel?
He is there to catch fun while I am there to do my business, before I mount the stage I must have collected 70 per cent of my cash, after the show they are meant to balance up the remaining 30 per cent.
Sometimes do you wear a mask?
When I am on stage you can’t recognise me, I would have disguised already with makeup and a wig.
Will you want to do bumbum enlargement?
Yes, I want to be like Cardi B.
When were you deflowered?
Between 10 and 11
Who did that to you?
Laughs…, let’s leave that for another day.
Are you in a healthy relationship that can lead to marriage?
Marriage? Yes.
Does he love you so much?
Yeah, anyways the love thing is 50/50
Is he cool with the kind of business you do?
He has no say in my business.
How do you mean, do you feed him?
If he says he does not like it, let him change it.
My boyfriend is not in the country at the moment.
Does he know about your stripping stuff?
Yes naa, many times he watches me online.
How many years on in the striptease stuff?
About two years now.
What have you achieved?
I’ve got a piece of land.
Are you currently training someone?
I am training my younger sister, I’ve established a restaurant for my mother and she is cool with it.
How about your dad?
My dad is with DELSOPADEC, Delta State Oil Producing Areas Commission.
How do you relax?
Nasty ways ooo… like taking my loud, general laughter.
