Did you know of the public secret that exists at the university? If you did not then this is a window to it, not the door or else I might be seen as. -what?.
Let us leave that for next time and get to the secret which is the ever rising cases of cross generation sex coupled with prostitution being practiced by the students at the university.
Talking to one of the students who preferred to remain anonymous, she had this to say: “as long as the university is a human community then prostitution is inevitable. We as girls are pushed into this act and cross generation sex by a host of reasons.”
To her by the way a ten year age difference was alright for girls as an acceptable range. “These mature men offer security both emotionally and financially as you know that women are emotional and at times get carried away having such a man is an opportunity to keep up with the never ending competition between us ladies.”
What brings about this competition we asked and got even more revealing information. She mentioned the fact that most girls live lifestyles that they cannot afford with the meager funds they receive from their care takers.
“The money you get from home may not be enough to give you a pleasant campus livelihood.” She intimated. Some of the girls do get enough money she admitted but sighted the foible of ladies having very many demands as a cause even after getting ample support.
Furthermore, some are simply too “broke” to live the luxurious lifestyle which entails meeting people from different backgrounds. Ultimately this is all peer pressure so she added that giving the girls a lot of money was not the solution but rather have actively functional guidance and counseling services at the university. All this we got to know even after our source had initially claimed not having any knowledge of such actions but on convincing her of name discretion in the article later complied.
We still got to learn that girls engaged in this practice do this mainly after travelling to Kigali, where they meet these covetous men taking advantage of their love for the material world that they happen to possess.
“The girls who actually practice prostitution are usually picked up at night hangout places and paid some amount between 2000 and 3000 depending on their looks and consumption.”
She said that men were not so willing to pay high amounts if you consumed many items during the course of the night. Although this does not guarantee that all ladies at night spots are whores. Some are genuinely party lovers.
More so, talking to a gentleman, also a student that preferred to be anonymous said that the prostitutes in places like Tumba and Cyarwa were cheaper than any student prostitutes and that is why guys at campus prefer to go for such.
Evidence of this was manifested when a lady known to be a whore brought one of the products of her affair with a university student to the campus residential halls last year. This product was a baby! “The ones of Tumba are cheaper at a fee of 500 francs which is nothing in comparison to the 5000 you may pay for a campus girl who might have HIV from her older lovers in Kigali.”
This emphasizes the idea that a good number of girls are engaged in such activities with men some of whom have been mentioned, although that will be for next time. Watch this space
