Former Big Brother Naija champion [Phyna](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyna) has publicly admonished Nigerian hookup girls, saying they fail to treat their work as a serious profession. In a video posted online, she explained that a recent visit to [Kenya](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya) revealed women in the adult‑lifestyle sector there paying far greater attention to clothing, makeup and overall grooming.
**What did Phyna observe in Kenya?**
During her stay, Phyna noted that Kenyan women in similar work consistently wore coordinated outfits, applied makeup, and used accessories to enhance their appearance. She contrasted this with scenes she witnessed in [Lagos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagos), particularly around Orchid Road and Farm City, where many women appeared to dress minimally, often in slippers and plain gowns, with little or no makeup.
**Key statements from Phyna**
- “I want to beg our hookup girls. I’m on my knees. You girls are not even taking this your job seriously,” she said in the video.
- She questioned why clients sometimes offer low payments when the women’s presentation is lacking, adding, “You just wear clothes as if you are going to buy a recharge card. They are wearing slippers. They're wearing just one kind of gown like that. No makeup, no lip gloss.”
- Phyna urged her peers to adopt simple improvements such as heels, lip gloss, and more polished attire, stating, “At least try and do lip combo. People just wear the wig, wear your clothes like that, wear bedroom slippers and stand on the road.”
**Why is this criticism significant?**
Phyna’s comments highlight a broader conversation about professionalism within Nigeria’s informal adult‑service sector. By drawing a comparison with Kenya, she suggests that higher standards of presentation could lead to better client satisfaction and potentially higher earnings.
**What does Phyna recommend?**
She advises Nigerian hookup girls to:
- Invest in modest yet stylish footwear, such as heels, instead of slippers.
- Apply basic makeup, including lip gloss, to create a more polished look.
- Choose outfits that are clean, coordinated, and appropriate for client meetings.
Phyna concluded by urging her fellow workers to emulate the intentional styling she observed in Kenya, emphasizing that a more professional appearance could improve both reputation and income.
