Chaos in Matrimony: Two Co-Wives Land in Hospital After Using ‘Kayan Mata’ to Win Back Husband’s Attention

Abuja, Nigeria – A dramatic turn of events has shaken a household in the Federal Capital Territory after two co-wives were reportedly hospitalised following complications from ingesting an aphrodisiac locally known as kayan mata. The incident, which has gone viral, was announced by Nigerian Stories via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle.

According to the report, the women allegedly consumed the substance in a desperate attempt to rekindle their husband’s affection after he took a third wife. The bid to outdo each other in intimacy turned tragic when both women began experiencing severe reactions shortly after taking the herbal stimulant.

Eyewitnesses claim the women had been engaged in an unspoken rivalry ever since the arrival of the younger, more recently wedded third wife, who reportedly captured the husband’s attention almost entirely. In a bid to reclaim their positions and reignite passion, the two co-wives allegedly obtained kayan mata from a local vendor known for potent and fast-acting products.

However, their plans backfired dramatically, with both women collapsing hours later and being rushed to a nearby clinic by alarmed neighbours. Medical personnel at the facility confirmed that they had suffered adverse reactions, possibly due to an overdose or harmful combination of herbal ingredients.

The condition of the women is reported to be stable, though doctors have issued stern warnings regarding the unregulated use of traditional intimacy enhancers, many of which are sold without safety checks or medical guidance.

The story has since sparked a wave of online reactions, with netizens expressing shock, amusement, and concern in equal measure. While some sympathised with the women’s plight, others criticised the culture of competition in polygamous unions and the growing, unchecked use of sexual performance enhancers in Nigeria.

This bizarre but cautionary tale highlights not only the emotional strain of polygamous relationships but also the potential health risks associated with the use of unverified herbal concoctions.

As the conversation continues to trend on social media, one thing remains clear: love, rivalry, and desperation can be a dangerous mix—especially when stirred with unregulated potions.
