Caroline Sam, known in the music industry as Maheeda is a woman
renown for her knack of courting controversies like it is some dinner or
buffet to her.On Tuesday, the self acclaimed prostitute turned gospel
singer posted a status message on her Blackberry that got many wondering
what was amiss with the mother of one. “ I am in trouble” she wrote.
Curious
as ever, Showtime sought the cause of her trouble and the singer
replied by sending a link to a story which chronicled a protest by
prostitutes led by a female prostitute, Patoo Abraham on the rights of
prostitutes to ply their trade legally like other professions. According
to the story, the protest held sometime in Lagos and the commercial sex
workers wore T-shirts screaming “Sex work is work, we need our rights.”
So, how could this get Maheeda in trouble? We asked her. “Don’t you
know that very soon this group may be asking me to come and deliver a
speech?” she answered.
The groups are operating under the names; Nigerian chapter of African Sex Workers Alliance (ASWA) and the Women of Power
Initiative
(WOPI). Of course, if the groups would be needing a resource person,
who is better qualified than Maheeda who has had both local and
international experience on the job.
