We’re getting married!!!

Our story began in the most unexpected place — Twitter. Yes, Twitter! One ordinary day, Olamide shared some exciting news about landing a better job offer. Being the supportive person I naturally am, I quickly jumped under the tweet to congratulate him. But that wasn’t enough. A little curious (and maybe a little mischievous), I decided to slide into his DM to ask about the details of his former job — of course, on behalf of “a friend.” He responded swiftly and politely, and that was it. The conversation ended as quickly as it began. Weeks passed. We went about our lives separately, and honestly, I didn’t give much thought to that DM. Until about a month later, when out of the blue, Olamide reached out again. He asked how I was doing and wanted to know how I felt about the idea of resuming in-person meetings. The chat was brief, but this time it was different — something about it opened a small door, a door that neither of us realized would eventually lead us here today. That same night, he requested my number. His reason? He said he didn’t want to lose touch in case Buhari decided to ban Twitter again 😂😂. I found it amusing, but I shared my number anyway. And that’s when everything changed. From that very night, Olamide began to call me. Not once in a while. Not occasionally. He called EVERY SINGLE DAY. And not just quick calls — we would talk for hours, long into the night, about everything and nothing. Our conversations flowed so easily, as though we had known each other forever. It became our new rhythm, one that quickly became the highlight of my days. Now here’s the funny part: I had absolutely no idea that Olamide had a big crush on me. None at all. He used to call me “Eje mi,” which means my blood. And in my head, that meant I had been sister-zoned. So, I settled into the role of his “sister” without suspecting a thing. I was comfortable, happy to flow with whatever it was we were building. Then came one unforgettable evening — June 2nd, 2022. Olamide sent me a simple WhatsApp message: “Hi Temi, please call me when you’re free, I have gist for you.” That gist was the turning point. That evening, in the most natural and unexpected way, he opened his heart to me. And from that day onward, the gist never stopped. We kept talking, laughing, sharing dreams, weaving memories and our friendship blossomed into something far more beautiful than either of us had imagined. Looking back now, I smile at the irony. I thought I was simply helping a “friend” when I sent that DM, but Jehovah had a bigger plan in motion. That single message became the spark for a love story neither of us saw coming. From random timelines and casual DMs, to endless phone calls and heart-to-heart conversations, we grew something real, deep, and enduring. Our story is so different, so unique because I see so clearly how Jehovah was quietly writing our story. He took two ordinary people on Twitter and wove their paths into one extraordinary journey. What began as a congratulatory tweet, a playful DM, and a leap of faith has now blossomed into the greatest blessing of my life.

On the 5th of March 2022 at exactly 7:21pm, I tweeted about changing my job which caught her attention and she congratulated me on the timeline. In a little while, she sent me a DM asking me to share details of my former job on behalf of a friend who wasn’t really her friend at the time(she knows better 😂). Immediately I got the DM, I said to myself “be like this babe don observe the boy well”(like she had checked my profile and was crushing on the TDH guy but wouldn’t come straight)🤭. I responded to her enquiries and the conversation was smooth and short. After a while, I felt she had reached out and played her own part in appearing before my very face. I reached out to her to check up on her and we discussed about how the experience of resuming in-person meetings will be like. From there on, we became friends and I asked that she drops her contact incase Twitter gets banned again so that we don’t miss out on each other. As babe wey don see sharp guy na🤭🤭, she shared contact immediately and we started talking over the phone. We spoke almost every day and our conversations would drag late into the night. Regardless, the flow was seamless and chemistry was 💯 We never ran out of things to say, we always had plenty of things to talk about. We spoke from evening to midnight almost everyday despite her busy schedule as a medical student at the time Fast forward to June 2nd 2022, I reached out to her via WhatsApp to inform her that I had a gist for her 😊. That night, I sold my dream of a family life to her and she bought it and decided to be by my side in achieving this and here we are today. We just kept sharing dreams, plenty gist, memories and our friendship waxed stronger and stronger. In this short while, I have learnt a lot about Temi that I appreciate despite her imperfections. To mention a few, Temi is very kind, caring, self sacrificing, loving, resilient, generous and soft spoken. One thing that stands out for me and I always mention to her is her resilience, OMG! She recovers quickly from difficulties and forges ahead, Temi is tough! Three years with Temi has not been a walk in the park. We both have gone through challenging times as individuals and a couple but Jehovah has seen us through it all All I can say is Jehovah has truly blessed me with the gift of Temi, he wrote our love story on a rock that nothing touches it.
