It's November 25, 2022, Bate, Manyi's friend in Cameroon, has just posted Manyi's picture on his WhatsApp status, wishing her happy birthday. Kelvin, Ayuk's brother, sees Bate's status and says to himself, "This is my brother's wife." He asked Bate for Manyi's number (despite her refusal) and gave it to Ayuk. Three days after her birthday, Ayuk texted Manyi for the first time. Though she was annoyed her number was given out, Manyi replied to Ayuk’s message. Through conversation they discovered they had a lot in common. Both were from the same tribe, liked to crack jokes and dancing to traditional music. As the two continued to talk, they became more and more fond of each other. Spending countless hours texting and talking on the phone. It didn't take long before they were in love. Fast forward to September 13, 2023, Ayuk proposed to Manyi at a lovely restaurant in Italy. They look forward to seeing you shake body at their traditional marriage and starting their lives together as Mr. and Mrs. Oben.
