Our Love Story

Her P.O.V

Our Love Story: From Platonic Beginnings to Forever I first met Ben back in 2013 during our undergraduate studies in Ghana, where we were both studying Biomedical Engineering. We were classmates, but our interactions were strictly on a platonic level, mostly revolving around schoolwork and assignments. Ben was someone I knew in passing, someone I could easily chat with about a tough exam or an upcoming project, but nothing more. Our conversations were friendly, yet distant—just two classmates navigating the same academic challenges. Our first real encounter on a more personal level happened unexpectedly. A mutual friend took me to Ben's house for a music recording session, and that day marked the beginning of what would become a unique and, at times, intermittent friendship. During the period of the recording, we spent more time together, and our friendship grew, but only for a while. After the music project was done, our connection became on-and-off over the years. Fast forward to July 2022, when Ben approached me with something that took me completely by surprise—he wanted to take our friendship to the next level and asked me to be in a relationship with him. To be honest, I was not interested. I had always seen Ben as just a friend, someone who was fun to talk to but not someone I could envision as a romantic partner. I never liked him in that way, and my heart was set elsewhere. So, I kept him in the friend zone, convinced that was where he would stay. But Ben was nothing if not persistent. He didn’t give up, and he never wavered in his feelings. He even told me confidently, "Na me go marry you last last," a declaration that made me laugh out loud because, in my mind, it seemed so impossible . I couldn’t imagine us together in that way, but Ben was so determined . His persistence slowly began to wear down my reservations, and after much contemplation and time, I finally agreed to date him in July 2023, opening the door to something serious.

His P.O.V

Speak into your future. You might wonder why I’m starting with this phrase, but as you read on, I’m sure the reason will become clear. 11 years ago, in Ghana, I first laid eyes on Ejiro. I had just embarked on my undergraduate journey as a biomedical engineering student. I vividly remember sitting quietly in the corner of our lecture room when, suddenly, this tall, chocolate-skinned beauty walked in. I was instantly captivated. But then, a voice inside me whispered, “Forget it… you’re not getting this one.” So, I kept my admiration to myself and moved on, or so I thought. Our paths truly crossed when a friend asked me to produce a song and recommended someone to sing on it. I had no idea who he meant, but to my surprise, it was her—Ejiro—right there in my studio, ready to record. The moment she sang, I was blown away. I thought, “Is there anything this girl can’t do?” We worked on several records together, and as I got to know her more, I found myself increasingly impressed by her talent, her grace, and her character. Deep down, I told myself, “If I ever become the man I aspire to be, I’ll make her mine.” Years passed. I moved to the UK, and in 2023, we reconnected. The first thing I said to her was, “Last last, na me go marry you.” She laughed it off, not taking me seriously, but I was determined. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Our journey hasn’t been without its challenges, but we made it work. And with each passing day, I fell deeper in love with her. Getting to know her more intimately only confirmed what I already knew—she’s everything a man could want in a woman and so much more. Deciding to spend my life with her wasn’t even a decision; it was a certainty. Her qualities transcend the ordinary, and I consider myself incredibly blessed and fortunate to call her mine. I’ve always dreamed of being with someone who inspires me to be better, and with Ejiro, I have truly found that gift.
