It’s Okay To Be Commercial Sex Worker For Survival – Actress Bello’s Comment Sparks Reactions [VIDEO]

Veteran Nollywood actress, Shaffy Bello has sparked controversy with her unconventional advice to young women about commercial sex work.
Featuring in a recent episode of the Moraya Show, the actress claimed that it is okay for ladies to engage in commercial sex work if it is for survival or pressing needs.
Bello said she doesn’t judge commercial sex workers but rather she encouraged them to do it well with respect.
She, however, warned that women who go into sex work due to pressing needs shouldn’t tarry in it.
“If what you are doing now is being a ‘runs girl’ to make money, you don’t have to stay there. I understand it, I never judge. If you go be ash*wo, do am well. Do it well with respect and your full-chest.
“However, don’t stay there. If that is what you have to do right now to make a living.. Some girls are doing it because they need to feed mom, send their younger ones to school. I understand it. However, my darlings, don’t stay there,” she advised.

Popular social media critic and influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has reacted angrily to the trending AI-generated video allegedly linked to him, blasting presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga and accusing the government of ignoring worsening insecurity.
Recall that the comment comes amid a vow by the Presidency on Wednesday to prosecute Nigerian social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VDM, for allegedly sharing a fake audio clip of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
An X user, @Pious_minister, shared a post alleging that an AI-generated audio of the President was used in one of VDM’s videos.

In the viral audio, a voice mimicking Tinubu allegedly claimed that insecurity in Nigeria would continue because Nigerians did not vote for him during the 2023 presidential election.
Reacting to this via a video posted on his social media page, VeryDarkMan described Onanuga as “stupid” and “daft,” insisting he would not defend the controversial AI clip.
The activist questioned why the Presidency had remained silent over the recent abduction of teachers and students in Oyo State, alleging that one of the kidnapped teachers had been beheaded while the victims remain in captivity on Children’s Day.
