Nigerian film actress and singer Shaffy Bello has made a case for young women who engage in commercial sex work for survival.
The Nollywood thespian made her position on the subject known while appearing as a guest on the latest episode of The Morayo Show.
According to Bello, it is acceptable for women to engage in the act if it is for survival or to solve a pressing need.
She added that she does not judge commercial sex workers, but instead encouraged them to “do it well” and with self-respect.

However, Bello warned women who enter the trade out of necessity not to tarry in it.
Speaking on the programme, Bello advised: “If what you are doing now is being a ‘runs girl’ to make money, you don’t have to stay there. I understand it, I never judge. If you go be ash*wo, do am well. Do it well with respect and your full chest.
“However, don’t stay there. If that is what you have to do right now to make a living… Some girls are doing it because they need to feed Mum, or send their younger ones to school. I understand it. However, my darlings, don’t stay there.”
Following the interview, the video quickly made the rounds online, eliciting mixed reactions, with the majority of netizens disagreeing with Shaffy’s stance.
