The same rules seem to apply, the lounge serves as a diner and doubles as a lodge with strippers for adult entertainment. Located at 23, Akin Osiyemi street in Ikeja, the number of revelers that flock to get a fill of their fantasy can be really alarming, but somehow Fantasy villa tends to house the numbers that turn out most from Friday to Sunday. Gate fees apply sometimes dependent on the period and events that are to hold. The club house has its unique pole features that officials say are about the best in the clountry. Our underground report got through to the manager and he was quoted to have said: ” The plan of setting up Fantasy Villa is to satisfy the sexual desires of all classes in Lagos.” Adding that “Lagos can be a very stressful place and the girls provide relieve and ease to the stress of hundreds within the Lagos metropolis.” “They are like some nurses you know?” the manager who pleaded anonimity stressed. Teazers Cabaret Teazers Cabaret is one big spot for strippers says our correspondent. The essence of setting up Teazers Cabaret is to attract and provide pleasure mostly for the crème-de-la-crème. The club was formerly known as Cassbah, its located not too far from Ocean Blue. On a visit, our investigator said he was greeted by female ushers clad in t-shirts and hot pants as well as daunting and well-dressed bouncers who collect a gate fee of N1,000. Many patrons can be found along corridors and balconies drinking and socializing. The furnitures are arranged in a sitting room pattern, one is more likely to see well suited gentlemen and other more formally-dressed crowd. Located on 27, Opebi Allen Lagos, the music was much mellower than other clubs, the show arena proper serves a dual purpose as dance floor and performance spot for the girls. One is likely to believe its just another exquisite Lagos night club, but the classy poles which are situated on the either extreme of the room. Wall Street Pub Wall street pub has made a big statement in the strip business, located at 70B, Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos. Though being the smallest club in Ikeja, barely housing 50 clients at the same time, still what it lacks in size, it makes up in services. Reports by our undercover reporter reveals that it is the only club in that operates during work hours, although customers get all the services without the strip show, as that they say is best reserved for the night. Rumour has it that sometimes the dancers, when given enough tips, go as crazy as giving oral sex with guests. A guest who interracted with our correspondent, said the girls here have been noted on a few occasions to exhibit dauntless abilities towards clients as they throw themselves at men with ease, allowing free fondling which in most strip bars run contrary to rules. To enter the Wall street gate, a fee of N2000 is charged on normal week days, while on weekends and public holidays, gate fee sky rockets as much as N3000. A lap dance price starts at N1,000 for lap dances which lasts not more than five to ten minutes. The VIP section of the Wall Street Bar’s cost N4,000 to N5000, where some patrons say the girls are more generous, some willing to go the whole nine yards. It is rumoured that the girls have rooms in the club, clients can have sex with any girl of their choice.

Ocean Blue Now known as Solid Gold, is located on Opebi Road, Ikeja, Lagos, very close to Tastee Fried Chicken. It happened to be one of the clubs affected during the raid by the Lagos State Government Task Force on strip bar operators. Staking a huge claim as one of Lagos’ pioneer strip clubs, Ocean Blue gives no indication that strip activities go on within when seen from the outside. Ordinary week days at Ocean Blue attracts a gate fee of N2,000, a fee which does not in any way cover for a lap dance. Like most of the clubs in Ikeja, getting a lap dance attracts a cahrge of N1,000 per dance, except where a client decides to be generous to the dancer for a job well done. To access the VIP room, N6,000 is minimum, our investigator says what goes on in there is too graphic to be explained.

The Cave This strip club is about the biggest name in the industry at the moment. Strategically situated along Joel Ogunnaike Street, in Ikeja GRA, Lagos, a few meters from the famed Lagos Country Club. According to our underground investigator, the Cave is described as an upscale and urbane strippers hangout. In a style of its own, the club attracts mainly the upper class, who burn too money just to get a peep of the class of girls paraded by the club. One is likely to meet a regular celebrity at The Cave. According to our source, entrance into the club cost no fee, but your free ride will get you only as far as the open bar, where you can have some drinks
However, to access the main cave, which is the inner ‘dome shaped’ hall, where the strip events take place, one is expected to pay at least N5,000, as gate fee. A fee that does not cover the cost of drinks to be consumed and the lap dances availed. At The Cave, lap dances of about 10 minutes, ranges between N3000 and N5000, all dependent on the girl’s of choice. Meanwhile, the VIP section costs between N20,000 to N30,000; covering the rent of the section and the lady’s fee. Like most big clubs around the world, The Cave has erotic dancers that take turns on the poles completely nude, further attempts beyond a dance attracts an extra fee, of course asking price begins at N1000. Strip clubs are beginning to multiply in Lagos, following a revocation of the law by the Lagos state government which initially did not allow the business to operate. Ikeja tends to be where most of the strip clubs are located, with Allen avenue close by, the area is fast becoming the red light capital of not just Lagos alone, but indeed Nigeria as a whole
