Vice Women Call Youth Cup Protest Thursday April 1 10:48 AM ET dailynews.yahoo.com LAGOS (Reuters) - A group of Nigerian prostitutes has threatened nude protests at World Youth Cup soccer matches after being barred from hotels by tournament organizers, a local newspaper said Tuesday. The Prime Sunset evening daily quoted Charity Emevon of the Association of Practicing Prostitutes of Nigeria as saying hundreds of women would march naked through the streets if authorities did not bow to their demand to be able to operate freely. Nigeria's military government and the local tournament organizing committee have spared no effort to clean up cities where matches will be held from April 3 to 24 to give visitors a good impression of Africa's most populous nation. ''In every country, especially in developed countries, there are prostitutes. It is not a new thing. It is only in Africa or Nigeria that prostitutes are looked at as outcasts,'' Emevon was quoted as saying. ================================================================= > THE GREAT "GAS OUT" > > It's time we did something about the price of gasoline in > America!
