- Nigerian actress, Omotunde Adebowale-David, also known as Lolo 1, has expressed her condemnation towards women who engage in the act of selling their bodies as commodities.
- The actress expressed disappointment that sex workers have largely overlooked the importance of hard work and legitimate businesses.
Nigerian actress and media personality Omotunde Adebowale-David, popularly known as Lolo 1, has voiced strong disapproval over the growing acceptance of sex work in society.
During a recent episode of the Say My Piece podcast, Lolo 1 expressed concern about how openly women now discuss selling their bodies, a shift she believes reflects a troubling decline in societal values.
She lamented that the glamorization of sex work undermines the importance of diligence and legitimate means of livelihood, suggesting that it sends the wrong message, especially to younger generations.
According to the actress, the increasing boldness with which sex workers share their lifestyle is evidence that moral standards have significantly dropped. She stressed the need for society to re-emphasize the value of hard work and ethical living.
She said, “If you can blatantly come out and say you are a sex worker, you asked someone for money, and I got it and bought a car… And when you told me she bought a house, she bought this, what do you think every other average person would look at?
“They [sex workers] are downplaying the value of hard work. They are downplaying the value of sweating, of growing something, of doing legitimate work. I keep telling women in my circle that your body is not a shop. Maybe, I belong to a slowly dying generation.
“But for somebody to blatantly come out and say this is what I do for money, I’m beginning to rethink many things, okay, it [society] has lost its sense of shame. Then let’s just make it [prostitution] a legitimate thing.”
