His mother is caring to , she sells Beans at the Buka at the next street , she barely stays at home , Bibi who just finished secondary school only stays at home and take care of his younger ones .

Bibi dated once ,but it was just like a chicken and his chick, They just found themselves dating , without any nessesary asking out , they parted ways when she reallocated to Port Harcourt. His friends Bayo and Pascal are like him , Birds of the same feathers , same age range , graduated same year , went to same school, and most importantly shy and do run away from greenlight . A new guy who grew up in Ajegunle Lagos cane to spend little time with his uncle in Abuja who stays in thier street . They became friends because of famous evening soccer .
On a faithful day after the evening soccer , the Lagos boy Badmus asked about thier babes
" How far nau, how una babes ?"
" My babe travelled but , this two thicky skull guys don't have any ".
" Make una no worry , I go help una figure out"  said the Badmus boasting as there all walked to thier respective destination. (The bad 🍎 trying to spoil momma's boy). Weeks past badmus already has two babes of his own and  already finished work for Bayo, who expressed his heart felt gratitude to him . And he vow to make Bibi's own work in little time . Ayomide Bibi's long time street crush was the next  target , he already finished the work and asked her for a date for them  which she agreed . A local mom's boy turning into a rattle snake.

It was the date scheduled for the meeting, he quickly helped mama Bibi's to shop , and took his brothers to school, thier mweti was schedule for evening but Ayomide's father will be around so she suggested next week but Bibi decided she come to thier place since he's only the one at home . Bibi dressed the room , sprayed  heavy airfreshner , he took a cold bath , wore a jean , a short sleeve shirt of Bob Marley one love displayed in the front , he wore a slipper since he's not going out,  he put on the television crossed his leg and sat on the seete holding the remote as he awaits the arrival of his Girlfriend to be . He quickly called Badmus and he told him to master his lines . Few minutes later Ayomide walks in with a faint smile , Bibi served her Jollof Rice and round about and juice. As they converse they had a knock at the door . " Gbam! Gbam!" . Bibi shoutet " who be that nau ,Bad belle " and he went to the door . "Ye! Da..Dad.. Well... welcome " he greeted " kpa! Kpa!!" he gave him a very hot slap for the delay , he walks in and told Ayomide to go to thier house , she stood up and took a last sip then she walks out . That day will be a day for him to remember , after that he deleted Bayo, Pascal, Badmus,and Ayomide's number. And he said " I'm done  ,if I come out of this  I will never date again" he went to sleep , as he await mama Bibi's own too.
