‘Sodom’ in the Garden City: Coded Port Harcourt hangout where rich, horny women hire men for sex

The name Port Harcourt represents many things to diverse individuals. While to some it is no more than another urban centre in Nigeria, to others, it is the land where ‘milk’ and ‘honey’ flows. The capital of one of the country’s largest oil-producing states, the town fondly dubbed ‘Garden City’ by its teeming admirers, is not only revered by many within and outside it but also regarded as a place where dreams are lived. Housing nationals of different nations drawn into it by its oil wealth, the city is a melting pot of culture, lifestyle and a thriving leisure industry anchored on diverse forms of entertainment. It is one of the few cities that never sleep in Nigeria.

While ‘joints’, hotels and spots where women – young and old – in the business of servicing men in need of steamy sex are in abundant supply across the city like in many urban districts around the country, ladies in need of male company in this regard have had to rely on their seductive instincts to either ‘trap’ one or attend to such needs through other means. However, all of that changed recently with an all-male brothel in the city where horny women can satisfy their urge for a fee.

Tucked in the heart of one of Port Harcourt’s most serene and reserved neighbourhoods – Government Residential Area – the coded hangout is the new playground of rich and lonely women in need of ‘quality’ male companion for a short period. Though unknown when the ‘hot’ spot began operations, our correspondent, during a visit to the area recently, discovered that the place is less than three months old in business. The one storey building with an expansive bar at its back, sits in between plush houses on the major road, making it difficult for passersby to suspect anything sinister while around the place. Beyond a small wooden board with the drawing of a man and woman holding hands while dancing, there is nothing to suggest that this ‘special playground’ for ‘big’ women is what it actually is.

After being tipped by a source of the activities of the brothel, our correspondent had a difficult task locating the place especially with its discreet nature adding to the issue. Guarded by a few security men at the entrance, it is an entirely different picture when one finally makes his way into the place. Operated by a handful of young men, about five, with well-trimmed bodies and biceps, the bar area is where most potential clients sit and conclude any deal of their choice. At a corner of the section was seated a woman, who appears to be the manager of the place when our correspondent and a female friend, who pretended to be a prospective client, visited. The young male workers could be seen taking orders from her before reporting back to her at intervals. On approaching one of the young men how the place operates and what it would entail if she wanted any of them to ‘service’ her, the lady was directed to a woman positioned a few metres away, who later introduced herself as Patty.

Pretending to be making enquiries on behalf of her female boss, the lady said, “My madam wants a clean and neat guy to keep her company. Is it possible to get one here?” While responding to the question, Patty went further to roll out their array of services and how they have helped satisfy the needs of many of Port Harcourt’s ‘big’ and ‘lonely’ women.

“While others mainly supply women for the satisfaction of men, we do the reverse,” she began while flashing a warm grin as if to reassure the visitor that they had everything under firm control. “Whichever specification of men you need to make you happy in bed, we have them. Communication on the type of man needed and other issues like payment is always discreet. Everything is done through the telephone while the client does not necessarily need to come to this place.

“As part of our mode of operation, we do not give out rooms here for clients to be attended to; we run a ‘takeaway’ service
