Big Brother Naija (BBN) season seven finalist, Chinenyenwa Desire Okoebor, popularly known as Chichi, has recounted her experience as an exotic dancer.
According to her while speaking during an interview with Hero Daniels, most people see exotic dancers as non humans or the job is too dirty for a girl to do but she believes it is a profession.
She said. “We see exotic dancers as non humans or the job is too dirty for a girl to do. First and first, exotic dancing is a profession.
“Secondly, not all exotic dancers are what you think they are. I know some girls in my place of work that are virgins. Thirdly, you don’t know why they came into exotic dancing. Me especially, the first day I danced in that pole, I was crying when I was holding that pole dancing.
“So, I know how I felt every night. I know how depressed I have been, how I wet my pillows with tears every night. When it is time to go to work, I don’t want to go to work but at the same time I needed to make money because I wanted to take myself out of what I was going through.
“And the only thing that saved me at that time is exotic dancing because when I ask for help, they want something else in return and I am very selfish with myself. So I couldn’t do that but I needed to do something else to really save myself and exotic dancing was the only thing.”
