A baby shower is a party of gift-giving or a ceremony that has different names in different cultures. It celebrates the delivery or expected birth of a child or the transformation of a woman into a mother.

The term shower is often assumed to mean that the expectant mother is “showered” with gifts. Most of which are for both mother and child ,such as diapers, bottled water, omo and savon etc

Baby Shower has become a thing in the Cameroonian community lately. It is kinda different from our African Born House which happens after the baby is born.

There is a huge celebration, food drinks cultural dance and giving of gifts.

I think in essence we copied a tradition from the Western world which is so beautiful but are not following it to the latter. Ive attended a few Baby showers myself .

People come empty handed oh!(Which defeats the whole point) lol Still eat and drink tho! lol e d happen too for our own born house dem sef ! lol)

These days its about documenting one`s pregnancy on beautiful photos and videos and partying,which is not a bad thing oh!

Except ya village people don`t use the internet! or you serve a living God!lol

The beautiful part is after all is said and done i hope we still get to maintain our born house tradition, cuz if u cancel that , then you are forgetting who you are and where you come from!

That is like the official introduction and welcoming of the child to the rest of the world ,and trust me that is a big deal!

While we adopt new policies in order to polish, refine and make our lives better ,lets stay close to our roots , they are the only thing keeping us stable in this crazily rotating world!

All d tok sef so eh , be be na for teh wuna say we don know say Blanche Bailey a.k.a Queen Mimba, go born na Boy pickin! we spy na for baby shower nor ey ey u d checkam na ha!

i guess congrats are in order ! cant wait to welcome the lil prince!
