Baby you are the best, you are the very best; I wonder how you know all this construction stuff; You really are a genius, the others are just caretakers;
Honey you are very intelligent, why don’t they listen to you? You were born to code the perfect and intelligent software; Your fellows will perish if they don’t take note of your words.
Darling you are handsome, like really cute;
You are slim, light skinned and strong;
You are an embodiment of manly perfection;
Sweetheart you are the man, a real African man; You got a big potbelly like a real (odi) boss; Forget the slay boys, you are the true African gentleman;
You got a good heart my husband, an honest conductor; You treat passengers with respect, and never short charge them; The driver is the one who mistreats the passengers.
You are a genius driver my man;
You know all the road rules and follow them to dot;
Your calling is to save animal lives by ambulancing them.
You are a business guru my love;
While the others are in business, business is in you;
You carry a true entrepreneurial revolution;
God resides in you my husband, a legendary pastor;
Everyone else is a sinner, and you are our shepherd;
You got a spiritual calling, not like other fake pastors.
Baby you are a very professional accountant; You do maths like it’s no brainer; Your employer needs to salute you for single-handedly keeping the company afloat.
Honey you are a scientist from another planet; You know stuff that we have not discovered; You are Albert Einstein incarnate.
Beb you’re so wise, and charming, and fun; You make a woman feel important and loved; I know you will have money and be rich one day;
Swits you a hustler, a real genius hustler; You take care of our bills by betting; I know you will one day hit the jackpot;
You are the greatest doctor in Africa currently; You treat even diseases you don’t understand; It’s like God works inside you and through you;
Darling you are the most powerful man; You battled your opponents and won the election. If they say you rigged, why didn’t they?
