What Really Happens
Some influencers, especially those with enhanced bodies, use Instagram to market themselves. By posting attractive pictures and videos, they draw attention not only from fans but also from wealthy individuals like politicians and Yahoo boys who are willing to pay large sums for private encounters.
Reports suggest that Egungun, a popular figure on Instagram, allegedly helps connect these influencers to their wealthy clients. In return, he takes a commission. This has earned him the title of a "pimp master" among critics.
Day Job vs. Night Job
During the day, these influencers create clean content for Instagram. At night, some allegedly film adult content for private platforms where they get paid in dollars. For others, the focus is on connecting with high-paying clients.
The Link to Reality TV
Reality TV shows like Big Brother Naija are also part of this story. While fans enjoy watching their favorite contestants, some of these stars use the platform to attract wealthy customers.
For example, a Big Brother Naija alum reportedly received ₦1.5 million from a politician in Imo State for a private meeting. The payment was allegedly made after negotiation, making it clear that this was more of a business deal than a romantic encounter.
Why This Happens
In Nigeria, where the cost of living is high and job opportunities are limited, many young people turn to unconventional ways to make money. The sex industry, whether through direct involvement or as an influencer, has become a way for some to achieve financial stability.
What Fans Should Know
While it’s easy to admire influencers and reality TV stars, it’s important to understand that not everything is as it seems. Behind the glamour, some may lead lives far different from what they show online.
