Maheeda Cries For Help -- “ I Am in Trouble”

                                  Maheeda posted a status message on her Blackberry that got many wondering what was amiss with the mother of one. “ I am in trouble” she wrote. 
                   When asked about what she was talking about,the singer replied by sending a link to a story which chronicled a protest by prostitutes led by a female prostitute, Patoo Abraham on the rights of prostitutes to ply their trade legally like other professions. 


According to the story, the protest held sometime in Lagos and the commercial s*ex workers wore T-shirts screaming “Sex work is work, we need our rights.”

So, how could this get Maheeda in trouble? We asked her. “Don’t you know that very soon this group may be asking me to come and deliver a speech?” she answered. The groups are operating under the names; Nigerian chapter of African Sex Workers Alliance (ASWA) and the Women of Power Initiative (WOPI). Of course, if the groups would be needing a resource person, who is better qualified than Maheeda who has had both local and international experience on the job.
