How I met my wife
Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a young man Abraham Oke spoke to Legit TV’s Damilare Okunola about how he met his wife on Facebook.
He revealed that the first time he sent her ‘Hi’, the lady thought he was a criminal that wanted to lure her. Oke backed off and told God that if she is really his wife, no man will take her from him.
Two years after, he returned to her DM and sent another “Hi”. The lady gave him attention and their love story started.
