"Dave this post should not come from you, it makes no sense at all. Are most female politicians, not prostitutes? What about the ones who call themselves marketers in banks and oil companies? Do you think Nollywood is worse than Hollywood? There is prostitution in every sector and it's not exclusive to Nollywood."
