"Sex workers want govt to legalise prostitution".
They should go and look for better jobs to do, prostitution is not a profession but evil. My thoughts

List the jobs and where they can find them.

Loool. Where are the jobs bro? Prostitution might be immoral, it is not a crime.

For them to ask for it to be legalised means it is illegal. I don't know what they mean buy legalising it? They should legalise 419 too

 

[Oloche Moses Okwori]

List the jobs and where they can find them.

There are over 180millions jobs out there- formal and informal, skills like hair-styling, cooking, laundry, making of cosmetics, saloon, buying and selling, marketing can get you self employed- there is no justification for prostitution. Such as you can not justify rape, 419, kidnapping etc. If you cannot find a formal employment at least use your hands to do something good while your wait for the big one. My opinion

Let me rephrase my statement, Prostitution should not be illegal. No one is being hurt, deprived or wronged in the 'mutual transaction'.

You are contradicting yourself. No government should impose sanctions on how someone should use his/her body. Prostitution involves skills, buying and selling,= and even marketing

We are both above 18, you want to have sex, I am willing to have sex with you but you have to pay me. How is that a crime sir?

Prostitution is not 419 or Rape or Kidnapping. You cannot compare.

180 million jobs? Not sure that even exist in countries with low unemployment rates.

180 million jobs? Not sure that even exist in countries with low unemployment rates.

The emphasis is on the fact that there are countless of opportunities out there for people to explore- not necessarily saying literally there are over 180million jobs. You get my point

In the context of the country we live in for example there are acts that may be acceptable in some other parts of the world but not in Nigeria. Perhaps using the analogy of rape, 419 etc may rather be extreme or wrong. The point is 'ashawo' work to use local parlance is a taboo and unacceptable. On some countries homosexuality is legal but in ours it is not. Why won't yam sellers call for the legalization of their trade? Why is it not legal to deal in drugs like cocaine openly whereas we are all free to take whatever we wish to take. There is also the moral law- I will not like to see my daughter, mom, or sister be involved in prostitution for example. I don't know whether that matters to you. That's my humble submision

You still haven't answered my question. In the process of a guy transacting with a prostitute, is there any harm done? It is a basic business transaction. Fulfill my sexual urge, I pay you. Finish.
