Shaffy Bello, a veteran Nollywood actress, has sparked debate online after discussing her opinions on commercial sex work during a recent television interview.

Speaking on the Moraya Show, the actress emphasised that she does not criticise women who work in commercial sex, particularly those who do so due to financial difficulties or survival necessities.

According to her, people frequently encounter different realities in life, and she believes that such ladies deserve respect rather than criticism.

Shaffy Bello, on the other hand, encouraged women who engage sex work out of necessity to avoid doing so for the long term.

She emphasised that it should not become a long-term lifestyle if it began as a survival strategy.

“If what you are doing now is being a ‘runs girl’ to make money, you don’t have to stay there. I understand it, I never judge. If you go be ash*wo, do am well. Do it well with respect and your full-chest.

“However, don’t stay there. If that is what you have to do right now to make a living.. Some girls are doing it because they need to feed mom, send their younger ones to school. I understand it. However, my darlings, don’t stay there,” she advised.
