UMEIONA NIGHT CLUB AMBAYO WASICHANA WANACHEZA UCHI NCHINI KENYA, BASI HII HAPA
Strip club view Photo: Courtesy As about 12 Nairobi clubs open up to the
pole-dancing strip dance entertainment, the local showbiz scene is
getting heated once again as male patrons start burning their passions
in clubs over the semi nude dancers, some of whom are willing to give
more In this tiny and popular Nairobi downtown club, a pornography video
plays on the 40-inch plasma screen as six strippers prepare to pounce.
This
is not your ordinary entertainment. And what you are about to
experience is not meant for the faint hearted. So we sip the shots of
hard liquor, trying to unnerve. It is but a moment for men.
As
the clock strikes 11pm, six strippers dressed in bikinis emerge and
starts to tantalise the male dominated crowd with their erotic dances.
They are literary taking on the strip pole and the men to whom they lap
dance with cheers and ogling eyes betraying their provoked sensual
emotions.

of the stripers, whose name we later come to find is Suzzi, climbs the
pole with attitude.
She
spanks the pole and whips her long hair as she slides down, her head
facing down as she gyrates ingeniously. Another one is also head fast on
a table, her legs spinning around a client’s neck.
Things
are heating up in here! We order for another double of tequila. And
another… The patrons are getting real carried away and asking the girls
to reveal more as they start tipping them, some throwing in Sh1,000
notes. And one by one, they remove their bikinis and are left with red
G-strings. Two of them actually goes totally nude and invites men to
dance with them.
And
here are condom packs getting placed on the dimly lit tables. Whatever
happens here remains here. At around 2am, we head to Pango, the Moi
Avenue situated Florida 3 club that introduced the strip tease dance to
Nairobians.
And
here, with a more elite crowd of patrons partying the night away, four
strip tease models keep the entertainment coming. Now this looks like
serious business. It is a lucrative venture for the strippers who keep
collecting huge tips from the clients.
You
get a lap dance at your will, and even much more if you negotiate well.
Gone are the days when strip clubs were regarded as a downtown affair
of the less elite. Pango’s clients are millionaire business merchants,
top CEO’s and showbiz celebrities who trust the privacy at the venue
they now prefer to unwind at.
It
is a six nights affair weekly affair complete with a choreographer who
trains the ten girls in her team. They work in alternate nights. This is
what they do for a living. On a good night, a stripper can make up to
Sh10,000, even Sh20,000 depending on the clients who visit, some of whom
are foreigners, tourists willing to part with the dollar for some
little gyrating sexy treatment.
That is besides the monthly pay of about Sh20,000 the girls are paid by
the club owners. “Many people don’t view this as clean entertainment
through which we make a living.
They
think it is indecent and immoral. But we view it as a job, just like
any other form of entertainment. We respect the trade,” one of the strip
dancers who gives her name as Njoki informs adding that she pays all
her bills through strip dancing.
