Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has counseled young women who are working as commercial s*x workers because of financial difficulties to leave the industry.
In a recent Morayo Show episode, Bello stated that she does not condemn women who engage in s*x work in order to satisfy urgent needs.
Some, she pointed out, do it to provide for their families or send younger siblings to school.
“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.
We should never judge anyone without understanding the full story of their lives, as we cannot truly know the struggles and circumstances that led them to their choices. Compassion and empathy should guide our perspective, recognizing that everyone is fighting their own battles.
However, it is also important to encourage individuals to seek safer and healthier paths, as engaging in such acts can pose serious health risks and may not reflect positively on their future. Ultimately, compassion combined with guidance can help create a supportive environment for positive change.
