Baby Kingsway! – Adewale Sobowale

When I was younger, I was used to a person who was slow in running errands being described as, ‘baby kingsway’.

At least, up to the early eighties there used to be some merchantile stores in the major city centres of Nigeria. Some of them were Kingsway, Leventis, Chellarams, Chanrai, etc.

Most of them used mannequins to display their fabrics. Those models were described by the Yoruba as baby kingsway possibly because they knew they couldn’t move.

With the increasing rate at which the Nigerian currency is going down in relation to the dollar, pound and euro, I thought we had seen the last of baby kingsway. But then, it was somewhat revived by the tokunbo, as bend down supermarket cloth sellers are called.

We have started seeing some shopping malls and clothiers also making use of mannequins. The struggle for the seemingly unavailable naira is making people more and more creative.

However, another interesting matter has come on board. It’s the original baby kingsway.

You know, some ladies have been pretending that they could do without men. That was alright. At least they had their vibrators, dildos, and so on. Everything was OK.

But then, there’s a new discovery in town. At least, new on these shores. Sex toys that resemble ladies are on their way to replace women. In fact, men can play the underground game with these things.

Women are already getting jittery. They are not afraid of the other woman or women again. They are afraid of a common toy. They are indeed afraid that these things may replace them in the other room!

But then, I don’t see the reasons why.

In the first instance, personally I believe every sexual experience is a voyage. Is the toy programmed to do foreplay? Can it respond to touches? What about kisses?

Suppose something goes wrong during the onslaught, and the mechanism fails, can’t a man’s organ be trapped? That will be another case of magun, thunderbolt. If such happens, who will free the man?

By the way, when the man finishes, who’ll clean up for the toy? What about the discussions that should take place before and after the game?

Abeegi, if he no be panadol, it can never be panadol.

By the way, those things don’t come cheap.

To the women, they shouldn’t ever feel threatened. Let them take this as just a passing phase. It will go away in the shortest period of time.

Ohun ti ntan l’odun eegun, that is, a festival is only supposed to last for sometime.

Just sometime!

Abi, se na the toy go cook chop?
