From Facebook Friend Request to a Romantic Proposal, Nigerian Couple Shares Sweet Love Story (Photos)

Is there any place where somebody cannot fine love these days? A couple who met themselves on Facebook and are currently engaged, have shared their romantic story.

Awele Nwokolo met Afam JohnPaul Nwokolo after he sent her a friend request on Facebook three years ago.

 

Once she accepted his request and confirmed that they aren’t related, as they both have same last name, he told her to send her house address and her mom’s phone number because as soon as he arrived back in Nigeria, he was going to tell her parents he’s going to marry their daughter.

 

Fast forward to January, 2017, he popped the question with a beautiful diamond ring. Their meeting was trailed with some coincidences…they both bear the same surname, Nwokolo, their fathers are from Asaba, Delta state and mothers from Illah, Delta state and to top it all, their grandmothers happened to be childhood friends.

Read their love story below:

“3 years ago, I got a friend request from a JohnPaul Nwokolo guy and I thought since he had the same last name as me, he was probably a distant cousin. He was vacationing in London at the time and I was in the US. He immediately sent me a message asking where I was from..turns out we’re both from Asaba. He went on to ask what village..he wanted to make sure we weren’t from the same village cos we could be sibling.
