It indeed will surprise many that Awka now has a night life comparable to Enugu and Owerri, which are known to be the best in South East, and even moving fast to surpass those cities.

The growing number of hotels, pubs and night clubs have also enhanced the night life of Awka, and the attendant effect is that the number of prostitutes in the town has also grown. The secured environment occasioned by the effort of the state governor, Chief Willie Obiano in the area of security can at best be said to be one of the enablers of this trend.

The presence of higher institutions, mostly populated by ladies and the growing hardship in the country can also be said to have helped to increase the number of ladies who dot red-light districts in Awka every night.

You can also park your car by the roadside and have a quick one at night, while passersby look away. There are also makeshift bunkers where touts who cant afford hotel bills pay N200 to rush a quickie.
