Abstract

This study focuses on the activities of Oloso, that is, prostitutes or commercial sex workers in Alimoso area of Lagos State, Nigeria. The research aims to investigate the classification of oloso, and their mode of operation. It also discussed the sociological factors that influenced ladies and women into oloso and the patterns and trends of behavioural changes among them as well as health implications associated with such trade. Indeed, oloso is among the major social problems in Nigeria and other countries of the world due to its moral and health implications. In all Twenty Five (25) informants were selected through purposive sampling technique. The informants include individuals that were willing to answer the research questions from personal experiences. The findings of the research revealed the various classes of oloso, their mode of operation, sociocultural factors, common behaviourial traits and health implications that are common to them. Peer pressure, poverty, parental negligence and high libido are among the notable factors that influenced ladies and young women to indulge in such practices. From the foregoing, it is recommended that the government, corporate and religious organisations among others should embark on aggressive programmes such as comprehensive sex education, economic empowerment programs, parental and community engagement, mental health support services, health services and safe practices education, social media monitoring and regulation, support networks and rehabilitation and strengthening legal framework and law enforcement. Also, the government should enact and enforce laws that regulate the conduct of olosos. This will help to sanitise and regulate the trade, especially the high rate of girl-child/under age prostitution in the country

Abstract

This is a study of female power within the divinatory literature and ritual action of Ifa among the Yoruba people. The essay investigates the dialectics of the feminine between the reified textual domain of Ifa literature and the practical experiences of women in selected Ifa communities in the Yoruba towns of Ibadan, Akure, Oshogbo, Oyo, Badagry, Abeokuta, Epe and Ife. Through a focus on the agency of female diviners, Iyanifa, as dramatized in Ifa literature and as demonstrated in the actual practice of Ifa in the communities in question, this essay explores a segment of the manner in which Yorubaland navigates issues of female empowerment within the gender dynamics that shape Yoruba culture. The study used a participant observation method that spanned a decade, which allowed the researcher in observing and joining the activities of the Iyanifa and women Ifa adherents during worships and rituals. Practice and Discourse as propounded by Lila Abu-Lughod was used in drawing the differences and similarities in theory and practice of Ifa. The findings are significant to the ongoing discourses in gender constructions and reconstructions, identity issues, Yoruba spiritualties and decolonization. It is also important for Diaspora Ifa communities because it provides frameworks valuable for mapping the manner in which these communities address gender issues as they draw upon a template of religious textualisation and practical action emanating from a culture different from the Diaspora contexts in which these adaptations are taking place
