The Efficacy of Local Aphrodisiacs

Mysterious lover by Homto Dokpesi

“Kayan Mata” words from the northern dialect, Hausa which is spoken in the Northern part of Nigeria.

Kayan Mata literally means “woman load" or things used by women.

It has been a practice that has been used for centuries.

The times of our fore fathers.

A period were women were seen as a form of entertainment for the man only.

Prior to your wedding day, you are made to sit on a smoking herb for a period of two weeks to make the woman’s vagina tight for her husband.

She eats chicken that has not laid any eggs usually between six to eight week old made with special herbs.

The Joy and expectation of a groom on his wedding night is their first night together.

The herbs ensure she is fresh and tight like an eight week old chicken.

Her skin is scrubbed and pampered and she is soaked in milk so her husband is getting the very best on his special day.

As a gift as she leaves to her husband’s house, her mother or sometimes mother in law gifts her a bag filled with potent herbs “Kayan Mata".

The word “kayan mata" sends shivers to the hearts and minds of so many people.
