Let me be direct: I think Modupe liked me a lot when she first met me. Stay with me, I will explain myself. So, after I got back from NYSC, I would usually attend The Covenant Nation, Iganmu center (Pastor Poju's church) anytime I was visiting my friends at school (LUTH). On this particular Sunday, an announcement was made about "community groups". It's sort of a support group that you can join to meet people who share similar interests as you do. It was a good resource for networking and building value. So, I joined the content creation community group since I was actively into graphic design and branding. There were 5 other sub-groups to join, and I remember being so confused about which would benefit me the most. So, I ended up joining the one about "monetizing your skill" as a content creator. Guess who was also in that subgroup? Yep, you guessed right, Modupe was in that group too. Now, how did this whole thing play out? As a serious guy that I am, I remember taking notes during our first Zoom meeting. I went as far as posting some nuggets from the meeting on the group; I guess that caught the attention of the group admin. So, he appointed me and some other people to be "admins" for the group. Our job was to simply remind the people assigned to us about our weekly meetings. For some amazing reason, Modupe was part of the people assigned to me. I remember saving her name as "Ariyo Modupe CCG" (CCG- content creation group). Modupe wasn't a TCN member; she was only invited by her friend to join this group. I just find it amusing that she also joined the exact same group that I joined, considering the fact that she was miles away, studying at Obafemi Awolowo University. That makes me see how awesome God is. Anyway, I messaged her, introduced myself, and that was it. Then, I realized that I could now view her status (which means she also saved my number), and she would usually post intriguing content and questions on her WhatsApp story. One of those conversation starter questions she posted was - "Is it okay for ladies to propose to a guy?". That caught my attention, so I responded and even asked for permission to send a voice note so I could explain better. Things kinda started picking up from there, we would chat more often, asking each other interesting questions. She asked a lot of questions; it felt like she was looking for a husband to marry 😂. But I was definitely enjoying it, she is smart, beautiful and her laughter gripped my soul (screams in excitement)🤣😍 Sometime in November 2021, I attended Jo Deep's concert. So I casually posted a picture of me wearing a yellow hoodie on my Whatsapp story. Tell me why, I was scrolling through my Whatsapp and I found that same picture on Modupe's Whatsapp status (with a cute caption). I was like, "Hold up, is this not my picture on this woman's status?". So, I slid into her DM and said "If you want my pictures, you should just ask for them".😋 So, she asked for my pictures, and I flooded her DM as the gentleman that I am. I also asked her for her pictures, and she flooded me. Oh my God guys, i was like "who is this girllllll.. How is she so beautiful?🥹". I definitely felt something that night. Ladies and gentlemen, the emotions went to another level that day. We started talking more, calling each other pet names (don't do this at home), smiling sheepishly, and just enjoying the moment. Anyway, I am convinced that Modupe liked me a whole lot, because, explain to me why she sends me a picture of her styling her hair at the salon even before we got into the emotion-high😂. Or the day she sends me a picture of her fingers, as if to say, "you better put a ring on those fingers". Anyway, I am about to put a ring on it, and I have loved this young, beautiful woman since we first met online. There is definitely more to the story, but this is a good place to draw the curtains😉.

First, don’t believe anything Olu says. I remember I found the opportunity to join TCN community group through someone. So yeah, he was assigned to be my supervisor (he calls it admin… whatever) in a Christian content creator community group. Then he started to go beyond his teaching scope. I thought he was cute and conversational. I’m so big on conversations. Omggg. And then let’s just say I was a mini influencer on WhatsApp and I’m always asking questions on my status. Baba will be replying with zeal. Again, don’t believe anything he says. He’ll be engaging me in conversations, and I was playing along because two can play the game. He’s going to say a lot of things as though I was the one who liked him. He was the one who couldn’t handle friendship. You know how they say if you buy food for a man, he might just marry you. That’s exactly what happened. He was the one who took things seriously. Then one thing led to another, he couldn’t sleep at night, didn’t want me to go. Held me to his destiny. Long story short, we’re getting married.
