Kubwa is in Bwari Area Council of Abuja.
It is the largest, well organized satellite town in Abuja, were original inhabitants of present day, Maitama, Asokoro, Wuse, Garki and National Stadium Districts were forcefully banished to in 1990.
But today, Kubwa has grown with influx of all and sundry. Daily, “immigrants”, from all over Nigeria, comes to Kubwa as a launchpad to start their hustle and fulfill their destinies as revealed to them by their village oracles, whose Chief priest has never crossed River Niger. These immigrants, are not limited to Nigerians from other parts of Nigeria but West African countries too.
We have noticed an alarming presence of French speaking African in hotels in Kubwa. Those from Niger are already accustomed to infiltrating into Northern Nigeria and easily blend in, working as gatemen and hawking native Arabian tea.
Another group of French speaking Africans, are beautifully well endowed ladies, who claim that they are from Cameroon.
Having a drink with them at one of the hotels they lodged, they claimed that they came for a Church program in December, but have not been able to leave due to logistical problems.
We probed to find what these “logistical problems” are, but met brick wall of suggestive smiling teeth with clear expressions that they wouldn’t mind anointing us.
After second round of drinks, we started adult talk and it became clear that these Cameroonians, are in Kubwa to hustle sexually.
While contemplating to sample Cameroonian cuisine, we saw other men, mingling carnally with these sisters.
While it is the right of every African to move freely within Africa, we are worried about the security and social disequilibrium their prolonged stay will cost.
Did they properly enter Nigeria and are documented, “in case of any incasity”
Socially, we heard that their presence in Kubwa, has forced increased the sign on fees ashawos that stand on Sultan Dasuki road, stretching from Gado Nasko to Deeper Life Church Junction, passing through Yellow Page.
Our conversation on finding out what was on the menu, was interrupted when one of them whispered into one’s ears, “ ne sont pas des clients mais voulaient obtenir des informations.”
