“Your Body Is Not a Prayer Point. It’s a System.”
Scene: After a long walk. Achalugo is sipping warm water with lemon. Odogwu is frustrated.
ODOGWU:
I just want us to rest small before the baby comes.
But why is it taking this long?
ACHALUGO (calm):
Because sperm is not just ejaculation.
It’s nutrition.
Because ovulation is not just a date on a calendar.
It’s chemistry.
ODOGWU:
So what are you trying to say?
ACHALUGO:
I’m saying—
If your zinc is low, your sperm is weak.
If my gut is inflamed, my hormones won’t balance.
You can’t pray your way out of metabolic dysfunction.
ODOGWU:
But I’ve been doing my best…
ACHALUGO:
Let’s be honest.
Your “best” has been malt, indomie, zero sunlight, and vibes.
ODOGWU (defensive):
Ah ah. I drink malt for energy na!
ACHALUGO (firm):
And malt is frying your sperm count quietly.
Because of you, I’ve been on ginger, okra, liver, egg, broth—healing my womb, resetting my hormones—
And you’re still drinking like a bachelor.
(Silence)
ODOGWU:
So fertility is food?
ACHALUGO:
Fertility is magnesium, vitamin A, zinc, good fats, and peace.
It’s blood flow. It’s gut health. It’s rest.
If your body is at war, your seed will surrender before it reaches its target.
(Achalugo picks up her phone and plays a voice note from Obiageli)
OBIAGELI (voice):
Ladies, stop begging your womb to work while feeding it bread and sugar.
Men, stop blaming your woman when your testosterone is on life support.
Fertility is not random.
It’s a reflection of how you live.
Heal the gut. Eat real food. Touch the earth. Sleep.
Then try again—with a body that’s ready.
ODOGWU (softly):
Where do I start?
ACHALUGO:
Start by dropping the malt.
And picking up a boiled egg.

SCENE: Late afternoon. The kitchen is warm. Achalugo is barefooted, in a lingerie , stirring a pot. Steam rises. Odogwu leans on the door, watching.

ODOGWU:
(clears throat)
Is it the stew that smells like this… or you?

ACHALUGO:
(glances over her shoulder)
Both.
I’m cooking with goat meat, onions, garlic, and heat.
What are you bringing to the table?

ODOGWU:
Walked 10,000 steps, drank water, took my zinc and B-complex this morning.
I’m ready for duty.

ACHALUGO:
Good.
Because a hungry man isn’t sexy.
But a prepared man?
That’s dangerous.

ODOGWU:
(steps closer)
So what’s in the pot, really?

ACHALUGO:
Goat meat to boost testosterone.
Palm oil for vitamin A.
Locust beans for gut healing.
And I added okra… because slippery things bring blessings.

ODOGWU:
(grins)
You’re feeding my hormones, my gut, and my cravings?

ACHALUGO:
Exactly.
Because when you eat like a king, you stroke like a god.

ODOGWU:
(whispers in her ear)
After this meal, cancel dinner plans.
I’m eating dessert directly… from the source.

ACHALUGO:
(smiles wickedly)
Only if you chew slowly.
And don’t spill.

ACHALUGO:
(morning after, stretching)
Last night was divine, Odogwu.
But tell me… what did you eat yesterday?

ODOGWU:
(smiles)
6 boiled eggs, beef suya with onions, avocado, and tiger nuts soaked in coconut milk.

ACHALUGO:
(claps slowly)
Odogwu… so you finally listened?

ODOGWU:
My stroke was painting, wasn’t it?

ACHALUGO:
It wasn’t just art.
It was ancestral jazz.

Your stamina? That was egg protein + zinc.
Your grip? Magnesium + potassium.
The way you lasted? That’s not just talent.
That’s stable blood sugar + healthy fats doing overtime in your bloodstream.

ODOGWU:
(low laugh)
So food really dey enter Mekwe matter like that?

ACHALUGO:
Enter?
It starts there.
You can’t stroke like a king if you eat like a peasant.

ODOGWU:
(touches her thigh)
And you—what made you so warm, so juicy, so damn responsive?

ACHALUGO:
Babe…
I had okra soup with goat meat.
Then Greek yoghurt and sauerkraut.
My gut was singing.
My hormones were balanced.
And my p*ssy?
Lubricated like a new engine.

ODOGWU:
(smirking)
We’ve been looking for Mekwe power in supplements…
When all we needed was real food?

ACHALUGO:
Exactly.
Your libido is in your liver.
Your performance is in your plate.
Your orgasm?
It begins with what you chew—not just who you choose.
