The independent churches of Zambia (ICOZ), have called upon women to stop applying oils such as that of Aunty Dodix to attract men.
Recently there has been a common trend of business people and some social media influencers who have been selling and promoting what they term bedroom products such as honey pot, make him cry powder, and “follow follow rich man magnate oil,” to attract rich men.
Tina Sakala commonly known as Aunty Dodix is among the people who has been selling such products and claims the oil attracts men such as ministers, rich men, businessmen, and engineers among other men.
She also uses her social media platforms to encourages women to bathe, look good, apply the oil, and go to places where rich men are found.
In an exclusive interview with the Zambian Business Times – ZBT, ICOZ president bishop David Masupa said applying such oils might seem to be good for the user at the moment but might have a negative impact in the long run.
Masupa says one of the impacts this oil might have on the user is that the target market for this oil who are rich men might transmit diseases such as HIV and AIDS to the user.
He adds that women should follow a good career path and earn a decent living for the sake of their children and families.
“We want to call upon the same ladies that may be applying such kind of oil such as the “follow follow rich man magnate oil,” that it may seem to be good for you now because the country is in an economic downturn in terms of the standard of living but it will have a negative impact in your life because such kind of men they bring disease such as HIV and AIDS and also your life will never be the same. So as a church leader, I would just advise you to follow a good career path and earn a decent living for the sake of your children and your family,” he said.
Masupa also notes that there is no control in media houses on products being advertised on whether they are fake or capable of corrupting the morals of the Zambian people.
He has since condemned the oil and called on the government to control the promotion and sale of such products in an advert form in some media houses.
“We condemn that oil in the strongest possible terms. When we declare ourselves a Christian nation, it means that our practices should also pertain to Christian principles. We condemn that and I know that it is social media which the government may have no control over but the publication of such on our media houses can be controlled. We have noted with concern and our concern is that there is no control as to what comes to our media houses or whether they know it is fake or will corrupt the morals of the Zambian people. Media houses go ahead to make advertisements even without getting to the truth of such kinds of products and they will affect the moral fiber of the people of Zambia,” said Masupa.
