UNIVERSITY GIRLS: WE NOW SURVIVE ON NIGHT CLUBS

TOP STORIES

The strike action by the ASUU has continued to influence the lifestyle of female students on Nigerian campuses negatively. This is because some have decided to sell their body in a bid to survive the tide, especially with the present harsh economic realities Meanwhile, since the nation's educational body embarked on the industrial action, the fate of the Nigerian students are hanging to pay. At a restaurant in Wuse 2 Abuja, Monica, also known as Monik, a student of the Kogi State University, looked ready for a conversation. At first, she had thought a young man had come for her, possibly for her night business. She engaged our correspondent in a conversation, and in the end, she was willing to go with our correspondent to any of the nearby hotels to spend the night. The federal government earlier noted the strike action by ASUU would soon be called off. The conversation continued: “But you are a student. You shouldn’t be doing this,” our correspondent advised amid her readiness to swim on his bed for the night and for only ten thousand naira. (N10,000).

Monica said: “I’m not going to lie about it. What I do these days is far worse than what sex workers do . I can’t just sit at home doing nothing. We all have that beast-like side. This side manifests every time you are idle. I’m not trying to justify what is not right, but at this point, Nigerian students can be justified for whatever they do to survive.”

This conversation is an offshoot of concerns by Nigerians over the influx of young ladies in Abuja who normally converge in the city centres and around nightclubs to get the attention of men. At a nightclub in Wuse 2, we observed that most of the girls who were out to hustle for the night were mainly undergraduates.

In a random interview, no fewer than 10 ladies that interacted with our correspondent complained about the hardship in the country and the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, that have now put them under serious pressure. A 300 Level student of the University of Abuja who preferred not to be mentioned denied being involved in sex work. According to her, boredom pushes her out of her house every Friday. She said: "We are not doing anything wrong. We are only trying to have fun since ASUU has refused to call off its strike and our government has continued to remain insensitive to our plight. "The hardship and the stress in the land are beyond human comprehension. We must find a way to air off the stress. This is why some of us are out at night. This doesn't mean we are sex workers.

RAMS BOUGHT WITH STOLEN MONEY NOT ACCEPTED - SCHOLAR

What is the essence of slaughtering animals on Sallah day? The essence of slaughtering animals on Sallah day is to perform one of the Sunna (actions) of our noble and humble Prophet Muhammad, who also slaughtered animals during his lifetime. The slaughtering of ram started from the time when Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful, directed Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his only son, Ismail, and in the process of trying to slaughter the child, Allah, in His infinite mercy, replaced the son with a ram. So, from that time to date, Muslims are directed by Allah, through Prophet Muhammad, to observe the worship during the annual Eid Al Adha festival, otherwise called Sallah. Apart from ram, which is the commonest animal slaughtered at Sallah, what other animals are acceptable? Apart from ram, a Muslim can also slaughter sacrificial animals like goat, cow or camel. But ram is the most rewarding, followed by goat, then cow and lastly camel. Some people also slaughter chicken, possibly
