Nigerian women embrace sex toys As Replacements 

Nigerian women embrace sex toys As Replacements

 

Despite Nigeria’s deeply conservative and religious fabric, where sex is often a hushed topic, the sex toy industry is booming — and dildos are flying off the shelves, reflecting a surprising surge in this unconventional market as more citizens boldly embrace erotic pleasures amid economic hardships, Victor Ayeni reports

Most days of the week, Niniola (surname withheld) is as busy as a bee, catering to the diverse clientele who frequent her adult entertainment store.

Her well-lit store features a spa parlour alongside a wide array of intimate products and sex toys, including lingerie, sexual enhancers, lubricants, vibrators, dildos, and BDSM kits.

The microbiology graduate from a state university in the South-West, ventured into the sex toy business in 2020, a year after completing her National Youth Service Corps.

The 28-year-old believes her store’s location on an estate in the Ogudu axis has been a core selling point for her pleasure-enhancing business as most of her clients preferred a high degree of anonymity.

Niniola admitted that she sells more of her products via social media platforms and messaging apps to meet the demand for professional discretion.

“My customers don’t have to come down here physically, this business has evolved beyond that,” she told Saturday PUNCH.

 

 

 

“They can contact us, tell us which of their products they want, we give them a catalogue to make their choices and they pay for the services including delivery and we get it across to them.

“From time to time, I get nice feedback. Some of those who patronise us are married, some are single, some divorced, some have spouses outside the country, some of our clients are women and some are men. Their maximum pleasure is our goal,” she said, smiling brightly.

On her X and Instagram accounts, Niniola regularly showcases a variety of sex toys available in her store.

She also includes her WhatsApp number, encouraging potential clients to reach out to her through private messages.

In a recent post, she announced the arrival of new dildos, assuring women that they would provide “long-lasting pleasure.”

When our correspondent inquired from her about the patronage of dildos and whether the economic situation has affected its demand, she giggled.

“I started this business in the middle of COVID-19 and I can tell you that we made a lot of sales during that period. You know, the lockdown and social distancing affected many relationships. Many lovers were stranded and people sought sexual fulfilment from our adult novelty products.

“Even now, I can’t say the economy has affected our business because we still make good sales. We even receive orders from outside Lagos. No matter the economic situation, people will always have enough to attain sexual satisfaction because it’s important,” Niniola added.

‘I’m helping my husband’s weakness’

When Mrs Bunmi Awoyemi (not real name) was first introduced to sex toys a few years ago, she felt a tinge of shame, reflecting the influence of her strict religious upbringing.

The mother of two explained that she arranged for the delivery to a location slightly away from her home, ensuring that no one in the neighbourhood would recognise her or guess the contents of the package she was picking up.

“My husband was the kind of man who downloaded even before the play began. Within a minute or two, it was over. He is a lovely man and a good husband but that’s just our only problem.

“I wasn’t satisfied and rather than cheat on my husband, I decided it was time to try out sex toys. I ordered a vibrator and a dildo and so far, I can say they have made up for my husband’s weakness,” Awoyemi told Saturday PUNCH.

Like Mrs Awoyemi, Saturday PUNCH gathered that many married women and ladies in relationships use sex toys such as dildos to satisfy themselves.

 

 

Single ladies who have been jilted by men or have not yet found a man to warm their beds also use artificial penises to pleasure themselves.

“It’s safer to use dildos than to sleep around and get infected with venereal diseases. I would rather pleasure myself with dildos than allow men to lie to me, cheat on me, and break my heart like they like to do,” a hairstylist who gave her name as Cynthia, told Saturday PUNCH.

Dildo varieties

Dildos are adult sex aids that are often used to attain sexual climax for women and also for men.

“While they are sometimes meant to feel like a penis, they don’t have to look like one. They come in different materials, shapes, and sizes. Some dildos are curved to stimulate the prostate or G-spot,” according to WebMD.

Findings by Saturday PUNCH revealed that there are different kinds of dildos based on their structure or designs.

Some dildos are made to look like a penis with testicles while some are made to be strapped on with a harness.

 

 

Some dildos are made with a suction base to adhere to a surface, others vibrate to stimulate the user while some, known as double-sided dildos, are designed for two partners to use at once.

The materials with which these dildos are made also vary. There are glass, silicon, rubber, plastic and wooden dildos, some of which are also sold by traditional herb vendors.

THIS MUFTWANG HAS MUCH TO LEARN by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode

PRESIDENT IBRAHIM BADAMASI BABANGIDA: AN IRREPRESIBLE ENIGMA AND ENDURING INSTITUTION by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode.

THIS MUFTWANG HAS MUCH TO LEARN by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode

 

Caleb Muftwang, the Governor of Plateau, made a grave mistake by hosting the Ambassador of Israel, an ethno-fascist, genocidal, child-killing, terrorist & apartheid nation in his state. I watched the show of shame & almost threw up.

 

As a Christian how does this Muftwang feel about receiving mass murderers, ethnic cleansers & religious bigots in his official residence?

 

 

More importantly, as a human being, how can he sleep at night after doing this?

 

 

Outside of that does he not know about the role that Israel & her strongest allies are playing in the killings in the North & even in his own state?

 

 

 

Does he not know who is really behind the terrorists that have plagued our nation both North & South?

 

 

Does he not know who is really benefiting from the carnage & land-grabbing?

 

Does he not know that their objective is to plunge us into a civil & religious war whilst they pick up the pieces?

 

 

 

Someone tell him to ask his Zionist friends who created, founded, funds and arms ISIS, ISWAP, Boko Haram, Al Shabab, Al Qaeda & virtually every other terrorist organisation in the world.

 

 

Tell him to ask them who uses these evil forces to divide, destabilise & destroy the foreign nations which they seek to control & dominate.

 

 

 

Tell him to ask them why none of the terrorist organisations mentioned above have EVER attacked Israel or targetted the Israelis?

 

 

Tell him to ask them who funded and sold arms to the Biafrans more than anyone else during our civil war.

 

 

 

 

Tell him to ask them how African Jews from Ethiopia (known as the Falashas) that are seeking to become Israeli nationals are treated in the Zionist state and how they are subjected to and injected with strange and toxic chemicals in order to prevent them from having children and “contaminating” the white/European bloodline of the non-semitic Ashkazi Jews that rule that dark and accursed country.

 

 

 

 

Receiving the emissary of an insensitive & callous beast, a bloodthirsty tyrant, a feral psychopath & a delusional meglomaniac like Bibi Netanyahu & showering accolades on him is an insult to the martyred women & children of Gaza & a big slap on the face of those that are fighting Israeli occupation in Palestine.

 

 

Worst still in doing so the Governor has inflicted a deep spiritual wound on himself & his Government.

 

 

Bringing a Jewish snake into your house will not help you to solve your problems in Plateau state no matter what they promise to do for you: it will only make them worse.

 

 

As they say, “beware of the Greeks, especially when they bring gifts!” The Trojans learnt this lesson the hard way! Let us hope the same fate does not befall you.

 

Meanwhile did your guest tell you that they spit on Christians in his country?

 

 

 

Did he tell you that according to their holy book known as the Talmud, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ was a liar and a rogue and is now burning in hell whilst swimming in a pool of human faeces?

 

 

 

Did he tell you that they discriminate against both Christians and Muslims and that they detain and slaughter them like flies?

 

 

 

 

I learnt that the day after he left Plateau state no less than 100 more people were killed by the terrorists: why am I not surprised?

 

 

 

This Muftwang has much to learn!

 

 

(Chief Femi Fani-Kayode is the Sadaukin Shinkafi, the Wakilin Doka Potiskum, the Otunba Joga Orile, a former Minister of Culture and Tourism, a former Ministerof Aviation and a former Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to President Olusegun Obasanjo)

Panic in Lagos as Beheaded Body, Second Corpse Found in Idimu

Panic in Lagos as Beheaded Body, Second Corpse Found in Idimu

Panic in Lagos as Beheaded Body, Second Corpse Found in Idimu

Tension enveloped the Idimu area of Lagos State on Sunday following the gruesome discovery of two lifeless male bodies, one of which was found beheaded along Oladun Road.

The chilling discovery, made in the early hours of Sunday morning, drew a crowd of shocked residents and passersby, many of whom gathered at the scene in disbelief. The bodies, which were lying several meters apart, were believed to have been killed late Saturday night.

One of the victims was identified by residents as “Baba Oja,” a well-known figure in the community. “We woke up to see their lifeless bodies on the road this morning. We cannot immediately identify the one with a severed head but the other person is Baba Oja. He was popular and often seen directing traffic for flashy cars at the Council bus stop,” said Lanre Ajao, a resident.

Another local, Jamiu Raji, pointed to signs of a targeted killing, suggesting possible cult-related violence. “This wasn’t just a random fight. The nature of the killings points to a cult attack. Things like this don’t usually happen here, which is why everyone is shaken.”

The second victim was later identified as another community member, though his name remained unknown at the time of this report.

Residents also expressed concern over the delayed response from authorities. The corpses reportedly remained unattended for nearly ten hours before police operatives arrived at the scene.

Adding to the tension, a resident who requested anonymity alleged that families of the deceased were forced to pay money before being allowed to retrieve the bodies.

Efforts to reach the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, were unsuccessful. Calls and messages went unanswered as of the time of filing this report.

The incident has reignited fears of renewed cult clashes in Lagos, reminiscent of similar recent killings in Mushin and the Lantoro area of Abeokuta, believed to be linked to long-standing rivalry between the Aiye and Eiye confraternities.

As investigations continue, the community is left grappling with fear and unanswered questions over the brutal killings.
