In this interview, Cecilia Agu, promoter of Drip Syrup, shines the light on how this potent sex stimulant has helped in fostering lasting marital bliss. Sex has always been a subject most people shy away from discussing openly, but some sex experts believe it is a strong marriage enabler
Please can we meet you?
My name is Cecilia Agu and I’m a certified relationship and marriage counselor. I am also a certified sex-pert and clinical sexologist. I’ve been married for over 10 years with four adorable kids. I’m the founder of Bedroommatters International.
Can you tell us about the Brand Bedroommatters?
Bedroommatters International is a passionate positive relationship and marriage-oriented organisation committed to improving family lives with positive parenting and intimacy in marriage. We aim to restore happiness to erring relationships by tackling the world’s second most popular cause of divorce, sex.
Can you tell us more about your product, the drip syrup?
Drip Syrup is a major product from Mmiri Pleasures Limited, a subsidiary of Bedroommatters International. It is a brand that helps men produce healthy sperm, lubricate the vagina for women, regularise menstruation, and help enhance pleasurable intercourse among couples. Drip syrup is a 100 percent natural aphrodisiac made from maca, fenugreek, snot apple also known as gorontula or silky kola, and honey. There are two types of aphrodisiacs: synthetic and natural aphrodisiacs.
Does the drip syrup cage men and what is your disposition regarding the concept of aphrodisiacs as jazz?
First, drip syrup is internationally affiliated and is 100 percent natural and non-fortified aphrodisiac. It is non-jazzed and does not cage men. Besides, I don’t think any man or one’s partner should be caged. I mean, why would you want to turn your partner into your slave or a fool who can’t differentiate between left and right?
Do you believe that jazzed aphrodisiacs exist?
Yes, absolutely, for every fake there is an original and because most people prefer taking shorter and easier routes, counterfeits have continued to spring up. But, unfortunately, or rather, fortunately, for every result that will last, some level of mindfulness, effort, and work is required from the parties concerned.
Yes, there are jazzed aphrodisiacs, but why go for the fake and short-lived result that you’ll not entirely be proud of when you can have the real one. I’d like to say to young people: you don’t need to cage someone else’s husband. Remember, “do to others as you would have it done to you”.
So, yes, there are jazzed aphrodisiacs but I do not encourage anyone to patronise these based on the repercussions.
In trying to be distinct, I believe you must have encountered obstacles at intervals. What are the challenges the Mmiri brand has faced and how are you able to overcome them?
One of the major challenges is the narrative branding kayan mata (aphrodisiac), which ordinarily translates to sexual enhancers as jazz. The challenge of fake and jazzed products for fetish reasons, it is this that has motivated the brand Mmiri to take on the journey of being distinct, become outstanding, and highly sought after, endeavouring to change the narrative.
The name kayan mata has been bastardised. Daily, we show up with informative content to try to change that concept and educate people more that kayan mata is natural and is not meant to be jazz but as sex enhancers for pleasurable experiences. These we are doing with integrity and honesty.
Secondly, the lack of awareness among married people about the importance of aphrodisiacs to who are the primary target market and the reluctance on the part of Nigerians to accept and utilise our local herbs but rather embrace the same herbs after the Chinese extract them from Nigerians and imports to sell back to us. I shouldn’t be surprised if the Chinese decide to purchase these fruits in bulk, reprocess and return them to sell to the Nigerian market because we have little belief in our own natural resources, plants, and herbs God has endowed us with.
Thirdly, the continuous increase in the cost of fruits and production can be discouraging. Lastly, is the challenge with logistic companies; the daunting delays with pickup and delivery. I pray they do better.
Any plans for expansion?
Yes, as I said, we are going, or should I say, it is already international as the brand currently boasts of clientele from all over the world. But basically, our vision is to get the drip syrup in every married couple’s home. This we aim to achieve with the Mmiri affiliate system where independent sellers who sign up recommend these products and get paid for every referral sales made by them.
In addition, they will be given opportunities to be equipped with digital marketing and leadership skills by expert professionals within the industry. We also have plans for advertising and influencer marketing.
How can one sign up for the affiliate system?
All you need to do is log onto www.dripsyrup.com or Instagram @thedripsyrup and click on the link in the bio and follow the instructions. The drip syrup can also be purchased from these outlets.
Who can take the drip syrup?
The drip syrup can be taken by women (pregnant or not, nursing or not, women in their 30s and 50s and above, and even in their 20s) and can also be taken by men. The drip syrup is 100 percent organic with the dosages described.
Any final words for other business owners?
Oh sure. I understand running a business in Nigeria can be tasking and especially at this time with the power situation and inflation rate. Remember to have your eyes focused on your vision, remember to stay consistent and pay and take courses and learn the lessons every day from your business and also study other successful business modules, especially when starting out at first.
You wear several hats as your business’ content creator, accountant, cleaner, customer care support and so much more. It can be daunting but with your eyes on the price and with consistency, you’ll definitely realise your goals for starting out.
