I was a Destroyer Driven by Vengeance Against Men – Ex-prostitute
An ex-sex worker has spoken out about the pain and hatred that drove her to prostitution.
According to Daily Nation, Jane Watiri, 38, made Nairobi’s red light district her home in 1997 when she was just 17 – and been ditched by her husband.
“One day, he left me for an older woman and there I was, 17 years old, with a baby boy, no education and no job. I was very angry. “I wanted to hurt men the way the father of my child did to me. Bitterness and unforgiveness can really destroy your life,” she told Daily Nation.
Jane ruled Koinange Street, Nairobi’s magosha road, for the next seven years, earning as much as Sh20 000 a night. But her motivation was not just to make a living. It was also to take revenge on all men for the betrayals she had suffered.
Jane said: “I was not the average prostitute. I was quite dangerous. I used to steal from my clients. I would carry everything; clothes, shoes, phones, keys and even wedding rings which I sold. I used to really mess up those men.”
She would carry two dagga joints, one soaked in petrol to knock out the client, and the other one for her, to put her in the mood for work. Life as a sex worker, said Jane, was full of dangers, drugs, arrests, disease and death.
“I read many eulogies of my friends and attended so many burials,” she said. In 2004, a meeting with a God-fearing man changed everything. “In my whole life, I never experienced love and care. The idea of love was very strange.
He bought me many bottles of beer and left. Afterwards, I started thinking of changing,” she says. Soon afterwards, Jane exchanged the streets for a church. Today Jane makes a living selling second-hand clothes and offers counselling to sex workers, encouraging them to change their ways.

Breaking: CJN Kekere-Ekun Issues First Warning after Swearing-in
The newly-inaugurated Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Kudirat Motomori Olatokunbo Kekere-Ekun, vowed on Monday in Abuja that obedience to court orders will not be negotiable under her watch.
She said that no individual or institution, irrespective of their standing, would be permitted to treat judgments of the court with levity or disregard.
The CJN spoke on the occasion of the commencement of the 2024/2025 legal year and the inauguration of the 87 new Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) held at the Supreme Court.
Justice Kekere-Ekun stated that the judiciary stands resolute in ensuring that the sanctity of legal decisions is upheld in line with the rule of law.
To achieve this new narrative, the CJN canvassed that all hands must be on deck in fostering an unwavering commitment to the full enthronement of the rule of law.
“Disobedience to court orders or non-compliance with judicial directives is a direct affront to democracy and an invitation to anarchy.
“As such, it is critical that we respect and observe all the features of an enduring democracy, for in doing so, we maintain the delicate balance that sustains our society.”
“Let us, therefore, work together collectively and tirelessly to ensure that Nigeria continues to abide by the rule of law, upholds the best democratic practices, and remains vigilant in the protection of citizens’ rights.
“The rights of every Nigerian must be valiantly safeguarded against oppression and impunity, utilizing the full array of legal instruments at our disposal.”
Maintaining that a new dawn and a new era in the Nigerian judiciary has come with her appointment, Justice Kekere-Ekun assured Nigerians of her commitment to work diligently to improve public perception of the judiciary.
According to her, “Over the years, various factors have contributed to the negative image of the judiciary. However, we are determined to change the narrative and make the judiciary a source of pride for all Nigerians.”
“When the legal compass of a nation falters, everything suffers, including public and international perception.”
“The attitude of some of us in the justice sector is sometimes less than salutary, and that has contributed to the current image deficit of the country’s legal system.”
The CJN condemned the forum shopping by some lawyers, which she claimed has led to the emergence of conflicting orders by courts of coordinated jurisdiction.
To address this ugly trend, the CJN vowed that there will be consequences for any act of indiscretion that could bring the judiciary to disrepute
