So, let’s do a short Valentine thread for Baby Boys, as part of the #BabyBoysManifesto. You see, for a Baby Boy, his main source of happiness is his woman. She’s the one that brings sunshine into his life. With her, he goes out every morning singing 2Pac’s “Me against the world.”

If after a job interview, a Baby Boy says “I think it went well. I’m hoping they pick me”, it’s his woman that says “Are they mad? Why won’t they pick you? There’s no one better than you!” If they do, she says “I knew they would.” If they don’t, she says “They don’t deserve you!”
It’s the Baby Boy’s woman that makes him really laugh out loud (not sarcastic LOL o!). She’s the one that dances. She the one that says “You see what you have done to me? Never ever come near me again!”, while she bravely bears the pain of bringing forth his children.
She’ll give up her surname, sometimes her religion and, sometimes, her career to raise the kids. She’ll go to work, just like the Baby Boy, and still come home to cook. If a Baby Boy is to be honest, he can’t do that for ANYBODY, not even for himself.
She stood by him when there was no money and spends her own money on the Baby Boy and his family. Her Twitter Aunties tell her she’s a fool and that Men Are Scum, but she tells them “Enh leave me! Let me be a fool. Thank you. Goan look for your own person to be a fool for.”
So, when he becomes a successful Baby Boy, his family says “She’s the one chopping all his money. They’ve cooked vegetables for him.” Baby Boy says “Enh una Thank You. Make una too cook vegetables for her too. If she no chop my money, who go chop am? Where una dey since?”
So, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. A day to show her she’s special. A day to appreciate your missing rib. Don’t dull. Don’t dull!! “My baby if you leave me yawa go dey. I no go pursue woman, I go change my ways.” Happy Valentine’s Day to all Baby Boys and Baby Gehs.
