Non-NPOV content in Prostitution and causes, and more[edit]

In the Causes subsection of the Prostitution and causes section of the article, some of the content has a moralistic, hostile slant towards Nigerian prosititution instead of merely describing the situation. For example: 'These social institutions have failed in their role at discouraging the mad rush into illicit trade of prostitution.' (italics mine). The 'mad rush' here has a negative evaluative connotation I believe is inappropriate for the editorially neutral Wikipedia. This should be corrected. Also one of the references (https://doi.org/10.1080%2F01459740306770) cited for the point 'Lack of Education and Employment Opportunities' appears to primarily about American prostitution thus isn't suitable to describe the Nigerian context the article is about. This also needs to be corrected. Thank you. Factthinker (talk) 14:14, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
