Prostitution is considered the oldest profession in the
world, and some estates in Nairobi haven’t been left behind in being the hotbed
of this menace. A few years back, you could only hear the mention of Koinange
Street when the subject came up, but now even some of the most decent estates
have turned into prostitution hubs.
This came about as prostitutes sought to move out of the CBD
and closer to their “customers”. This has led to erosion of the moral
fabric of adjacentsocieties that even the young lads are finding it
irresistible.
Below are top 7 estates in Nairobi notorious for
prostitution…….
Kayole
Kayole happens to be among Nairobi’s most populous estates,
and I guess the same made it an attractive hub for commercial s3x workers.
According to residents of Kayole, hundreds of commercial s£x workers operate
just outside the popular Nyama Villa Club, with adjacent lodges making the spot
even more enticing.
Umoja
If there’s something that Umoja is renowned for it is the
countless number of bars, wines and spirit joints. The estate has also been
flooded with commercial s3x workers who operate primarily around some of the
famous bars and joints in the area.
Eastleigh
Eastleigh is one of Nairobi’s fastest growing commercial hub
estates, and the rise of s3x workers is attributed to the allure of easy money.
The most notorious street in the estate is the 12th street characterized
by a large number of lodges and guest rooms. The other streets being the 3rd and
9thstreets often used by commercial s3x workers of Eritrean and Ethiopian
descent.
Majengo
Majengo is famous for having the cheapest commercial s3x
workers in Nairobi, I guess by the sound of the name too. The funny thing with
Majengo prostitut3s is that they like sitting outside their rooms on their
trademark stools as they await their clients, or should I say customers?????
Ngara
Ngara estate, which enjoys close proximity to CBD, is now
suffering from similar fate too, with most the commercial s3x workers targeting
college and university students staying in the hostels and rentals around the
estate.
Pipeline
Did I say Pipeline? Yes, I did….. Most of the commercial s3x
workers in this estate come from the neighboring Machakos County, and have
rented affordable bedsitters which act as their operation bases.
Dandora
Dandora was once the crime capital of Nairobi, mahali
unawezachanuliwa ukiwa umesimama, but now it’s another low-end prostitution
base. I guess commercial s3x workers in Dandora compete with their counterparts
from Majengo in offering cheap (or let’s say affordable) s3x to their customers.
