If we’ve all agreed that buying Naija to grow the naira is the way to go in 2018, then it should come as no surprise to you that someone in Nigeria’s adult industry has put out an ad for porn actors.
An unnamed pornography firm put out the ad in form of a small graphics card which has been circulating online for a few days.
The ad reads, “PORN ACTORS WANTED. LEKKI. LAGOS”.
Depending on your area of interest, this might just be the perfect job opportunity.
Pornography
is an art-form that is built around physical desire, and as such, the
actors often have to meet very specific parameters.
Whoever put out this
ad must know exactly what they want, because the list of requirements is
as specific as the menu at a four-star restaurant.
The ad states that interested persons must have a “Muscular or Athletic Build”, and must be of ages 18 and above.
What are you bringing to the table?
They must also be good-looking, not camera-shy and should have no previous experience in the adult industry.
If
this has you putting two and two together and thinking about what a
career in porn might look like for a Nigerian, you might be pleased to
know that you won’t be a pioneer in any sense of the word.
The
metrics show that Nigerians consume a lot of porn; the most popular
free site, Xvideos, has remained among the 10 most visited websites in
Nigeria for years.

That
appetite was fed by foreign offerings in the past, but recently, some
adventurous Nigerians have tried their hands at producing porn in
Nigeria, by Nigerians, for Nigerians.
A budding industry
Names
like the infamous KingTBlack may come to mind immediately and for good
reason. On the other, Free Thinkers Production, a porn production firm
run by the man behind the handle @datkindboy on Twitter, has been
creating free length videos for two years and counting.
In
an August 2017 interview with Pulse, the inspiring entrepreneur says he
believes Nigerians are among the biggest consumers of porn on the
planet.
He also adds, “ “I believe Nigerian girls won’t mind featuring in a porn movie as long as the pay is good”.
Anyone interested in chasing this ad may be pleased or very dismayed to learn that pay starts from 70,000 naira per scene.
While
the entire idea is a bit laughable, it brings to fore our changing
attitude towards issues that we once considered through moral lens.
The
ad has since gone viral on social media; and while one may be tempted
to think it’s because we like bad things, there’s the possibility that
70,000 naira and some screen time may be what one future pornstar wants.
