Well, it depends on part of the country.

I understand some prostitutes are bread winners in their villages.

For instance, someone once announced the lingua franca of brothels in Nigeria.

If you know you know.

why not use olosho or ashawo work instead? No, it is not legal in Nigeria but there are thousands of such business all over the country provided you are greasing the palm of the D.P.O at the nearest police station. Not forgetting the presence of the rugged niggars in the area too. I have plots of land at a good location to lease for that business at Portharcourt.

I just read this article online.
The summary is that mobile or online adult prostitution is not a crime but owning a brothel is a crime.
In other words, Nigeria permits adults to turn themselves into online or mobile brothels but frowns against physical structures being put up as brothels .Is that not hypocrisy ? "Jus saying to myself "

*PROSTITUTION IS NOT A CRIME IN ALL PARTS OF NIGERIA AND POLICE CANNOT ARREST PROSTITUTES.*
DAILY LAW TIPS (Tip 324A) by Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LLM. ACIArb(UK)

A crime or an offence is never created by morals but by law. So, an act can be a SIN but not a crime and you cannot arrest any person for committing SIN in any part of Nigeria.
There is no Federal/National law against PROSTITUTION in Nigeria. Although, owing to Sharia Law in Northern states in Nigeria, prostitution is prohibited. In all the Western, Eastern and Southern states in Nigeria, prostitution is not a crime. Hence, police or security agencies CANNOT arrest prostitutes in such states.
Note that owning/running a brothel, being a love-vendor, trafficking persons for prostitution, use of children as sex slaves and other similar acts are criminal in all parts of Nigeria.

My authorities are sections 223, 224 and 225 of the Criminal Code, section 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the Trafficking In Person (Prohibition), Enforcement and Administration Act, 2015 and sections 30 of the Child’s Right Act, 2003.
