No means no. That has been the standard all over the world and from a personal standpoint, I think it should be that way. But, it appears to get tricky when money has exchanged hands in a transaction and the product is not delivered. I am referring to the opening scenes of Oloture; where she, being a sex-worker, dodges the delivery of the product or appears to withdraw from the whole transaction.

This film, to me, exposes the hardships in Nigeria that would lead people to first- see prostitution as an only means of escape and also, make an effort to make it better by traveling out of the country to continue the same acts.

In our conversation, I purposely ask stupid questions in order to gain a clearer understanding of prostitution, rape as well as human trafficking as a whole. The issue here is that the law may differ in different regions. What constitutes a breach of contract if a woman refuses to have sex with you? even if you have paid her? I am not a lawyer oh.

I am happy that this film got made because sometimes words are not enough to convey the dangers associated with embarking on a journey to an unknown country in the name of carrying out some trade. It removes the glamour associated with this whole idea of living abroad or rather, going abroad through some unclear means.

I have always had difficulty explaining what binds sex-workers to pimps in a world of technology that breaks market barriers and I don’t want to mansplain it. But in our conversation, we try to make sense of it.

In summary, It exposes some of the inhumane things that people who embark on this journey have to go through.

Spoiler alert: In the conversation, we do not dwell so much on the story, but it would be great to see the movie before you listen to the conversation.
