I read with amazement the story on page 16 of The PUNCH,August 19,2015,on  how no fewer than 2,000 commercial s*x Workers in Awka,the Anambra State capital,have concluded plans to commence their action against the state government . It means prostitution is legalised in that state.Their leader was even reported to pointing accusing finger at the government officials as their best customers who throw money at them;"They want me to expose them?. Awka with only about 301,000 population in 2006 has over 2,000 prostitutes in one group. This is more than the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible. The Anambra State Government should allow the strike for everlasting and that would be the best thing that can happen to the state .it is the handiwork of God.
