by. Reports have it that some of these
women are successful at it and
have made enough money from the
business as they now own
boutiques and apartments within
the city. Some are said to do for money while
others do it for the fun of it. Journalist met with a married
prostitute on Wednesday at
11.30am. though she refused to be
interviewed at first, she later gave
in. "Listen, it's not like I do
something illegal or go out to the
streets to wait for clients. Many
women do it," she began defensively. According to her, she has been
married for seven years, with two
children both male and she loves
her husband very much. Her
husband is businessman and he was
the one that gave her capital to start her own business. The
business wasn't doing very well and
one of her regular clients, also
married decided to help her out if
she sleeps with him. She saw no harm in it and that was
how it started as after that
incident she never looked back. She dates rich married men, who
fund her businesses. She now owns
four shopping boutiques in various
parts of town and each of them
have different secret partners
who are her lovers. I am not a prostitute, I am just a
business woman who never lets go
of an opportunity," says Rachel,
adding that nearly all her friends,
who are married, also have other
men paying them for sex. "I don't know why people fool
themselves. A woman who has
children will do a lot of things to
secure a bright future for her
kids. Your wife will sleep with her
boss for a promotion; she will sleep with another man to fund her
business. It doesn't mean she doesn't love you. Actually, she
loves you so much. That's why she
doesn't want to pass financial
burdens to you yet she wants a
good life for her family." Rachel referred the journalist to
another woman she calls her
'godmother' in the business who
owns an apartment and several
flats in the city but she refused
being interviewed and even stopped picking calls.
