WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE AN ACHALAUGO?
Someone told me that he is having a running battle with his wife because she wants him to start calling her "Achalaugo". I told him it should be a simple thing to do and shouldn't warrant any arguments, but he said he couldn't bring himself to such fallacy, because his wife has proven over the years of their marriage not to be deserving of such accolades. He prefers to call her "Baby" "Honey" or any of such meaningless pet names.
"Achalaugo is not just a pet name, but a title rooted in our culture and having very deep meanings. It is the simplest translation of "Virtuous Woman" of Proverbs 31." He explained.
I was ready to learn more. And he was ready to teach me more.
"Achalaugo is not about the beauty of the face or some curvaceous hips and standing apples on the chest. It is about character, industry, natural femininity; the true African woman. Achalaugo describes the beauty that runs deeper than skin tones and pretty noses."
I must say that I learnt a lot about the things I already know about what makes the ideal feminist. A woman; strong, diligent, caring, homely, industrious, yet strong and ready to stand up for her man and her home, at any time.
This and more are the things you are going to learn in the film; "The Real Achalaugo", which is exclusively released on FCC TV Naija YouTube channel. It teaches you not just to want to answer Achalaugo, but to be an Achalaugo.
Get all your young daughters to watch this film, it will definitely inspire them into better women, that would earn the respect and absolute loyalty of their man.
