A strì-p or nud-è club is a grown-up entertainment venue or a night club where strí-pteases or other erotic or exotic dances are regularly performed. A strí-p club is run like a night club or bar, but it can also adopt a theatre or cabaret form.
This club, is gradually making its way into many towns and cities in Nigeria, especially in Lagos city and with increasing patronage by different high profile people... Efforts by various governments, especially the Lagos State government to rid towns and cities of these strí-p clubs have met a stone wall while the operators of such businesses are back with little if any moderation to the usual practice.
The us government, while attempting to bring only a little sanity to the city's night life once raided the strí-p clubs in the Ikeja axis of Lagos State and arrested the strí-ppers. But the operators reacted by charging the federal government to court.
This incident generated a lot of issues and divided the public who held different opinions on the business. Investigations carried out recently revealed that the operators of strí-p clubs are back in business and are carrying out activities there in a way which obviously gives them a benefit over ordinary night clubs with regards to patronage.
Scattered all over Lagos mainland are strí-p/nud-é clubs like Cazz bar, Club Unique, Wall Street bar, Cave Exclusive and Ocean Blue.
A trip to the Cazz bar on Opebi road, Ikeja on a Friday night was an event always fresh in your head of the reporters.
After paying an entrance fee of N3,000 one is entitled to savor the ambience where a number of the strí-ppers are beautiful white girls ‘imported'into the country to entertain and meet the audience's different needs.
Girls who have their health scantily covered with g-string pants and bras took a pole-dancing position and when charged, they discarded of the scanty clothings in it and danced nakéd performing also the lap-dance for just about any patron who had been willing to give them a tip.
Further investigations revealed that there's a VIP section where you spend an entrance fee of N10,000.00 which entitles you to have anything on demand free.
The Cazz bar regulation states that the patron who's prepared to go house with certainly one of its strí-ppers will wait till 5:000 a.m (which is the closing time) and pay the management while leaving his telephone number and address for security reasons.
At the Cazz Bar it is stated that the strí-ppers collects N75,000.00 each week excluding accommodation and feeding.
The practice at the Cave Exclusive in GRA, Ikeja is really a little different compared compared to that of Cazz Bar.At the Cave Exclusive, the entrance fee is N5,000.00. Why is Cave Exclusive distinctive from others is that not only this the strí-ppers are scantily clad, the bar attendants who are mostly ladies move around and attend to patrons in their underwears.
The environmental surroundings speaks séx and you won't don't catch a glimpse of couples engaged in a single séxual act or another and without any damn fond of prying eyes.
One of the attendants who spoke to the reporters who monitored the situations in the many strí-p clubs claimed she wasn't initially aware that the rule is that attendants will also work in their underwears. she said she discovered this on her behalf first trip to work and that she was planning to quit anytime from now as she wasn't confident with the practice.
On further questioning, she claimed her take-home pay in monthly is N25,000.00 and she feels she shouldn't be afflicted by such a treatment for that amount as customers are free to touch and make passes at her, as the management expects her to smile back at them.
The Cave Exclusive which includes been running for over three years records a huge patronage on Fridays as fun-seekers throng the hangout to savor what they offer.
The operation in other strí-p bars isn't different and it attracts patrons who are prepared to spend the any amount of cash so long as they're satisfied.
Strí-p and nud-é bar operation is said to have started in Lagos in the 90's. Then, some hangouts in Apapa used to bring in ladies have been used in meeting the séxual needs of European sailors who often visited the hangout while on trips to Lagos.
The operation gradually gained ground and has become fully rooted with a serious large quantity of nightclubs in existence.
A vacation round the town of Lagos revealed that just about any nook and cranny with this city has this strí-p and nud-é club because of the commercial gains produced from them.
Teenagers and teenagers see the club as an avenue to earn money not considering the results of their action. It had been also gathered that top businessmen and politicians catch fun, but they choose to achieve that in hangouts that operate strictly by membership.
A strí-p bar owner in Lagos is believed to rake between N5m and N10m on a monthly basis with regards to the location and patronage.
A usual strí-p club is open everyday for business, but has Wednesdays and Fridays as its special days.
Many had thought that the Lagos state government would win the battle to curb, or even stop this business, some have insisted that it's a small business that's come to remain whether the government likes it or not.
