Their love story as shared by Ofure:
In 2018, I began working at Deloitte and Deji was one of many senior consultants in my division. I’d say the primary 12 months I used to be there, we barely spoke. I at all times inform folks we weren’t buddies and I feel he low-key didn’t like me. 🤣 Quick ahead to 2019, I left Deloitte and we related on Instagram. I moved to Canada just a few months later and he would examine in on me and ask how I used to be doing and settling in. One of many issues we first bonded over was our love for the present, ‘The Males’s Membership’. I bear in mind our very first lengthy dialog, I used to be laughing like a teenage woman on the bus on my solution to get my nails completed and that day, I spotted we had a lot in widespread. So we grew to become buddies by the tip of 2019 and simply individuals who knew one another however nothing greater than that.
In October 2020 I had a dream about Deji. Sure, I do know this sounds cliché however sure I did dream about him and it was an attention-grabbing dream as a result of I awoke very emotional. I had not talked to him shortly, however I used to be identical to “Okay perhaps it’s simply a type of issues”. I began preparing for the day and once I picked up my cellphone and checked Instagram his story was the primary on my TL. At this level, I’m identical to what’s going on right here. And due to the dream I used to be a bit apprehensive to say good day which I’d usually have completed. After some time, I talked myself out of it and stated I used to be going to say hello and checked in on him since we had been buddies. Now, I do know it was positively God chatting with me. We bought speaking and a few minutes into our chat, he stated “I actually missed speaking to you” and I used to be pondering the very same factor.
He would by no means comply with this, however I requested him for his quantity first as a result of I solely had his Instagram and I wished to proceed speaking with him. We chatted the entire day. I wished to speak to him the subsequent day, however then it was awkward as a result of we’ve by no means talked that a lot and so I got here up with the good concept to ask him for a exercise playlist as a result of the day earlier than we talked lots about music and shared our favourite songs. I do know that was slick transfer, however he did create a playlist and despatched it to me so I assume that labored. We’ve got by no means stopped speaking since that day in October 2020 and now we get to spend the remainder of our lives speaking, sharing music and creating a phenomenal life collectively.

I first met Ofure in 2018 when she joined Deloitte however apparently sufficient, we barely had any significant interactions exterior of labor which was additionally seldom as a result of we barely labored on any information collectively. Quick ahead to 2019, I used to be in South Africa on the time and had heard from another colleagues in again in Nigeria that she had resigned and was relocating to Canada. A few weeks after that, her IG profile popped up on my really helpful web page (the actual reality is that I seemed for her profile on IG…LOL) and I adopted her. I assume some seeds of affection had been sown unbeknownst to me. I DM’d her just a few days later when she posted an image from her going away occasion on her IG tales; simply wishing her the perfect in her new journey. From 2019 to 2020 we had the odd interplay right here and there within the DMs, often led by the occasional reply to one another’s IG tales.
Someday in 2020, throughout the the pandemic, I posted an outdated photograph of myself and some different colleagues taken within the workplace. She replied to the story and we bought chatting within the DMs as we often did. However this time it was completely different…we chatted the entire day about nothing and the whole lot, our shared love for Coldplay, how we’d been dealing with dwelling by way of the pandemic, different shared pursuits. My rizz was so robust that she requested for my quantity on the finish of the day (however the reality is that I’d have requested for hers to however she solely beat me to it). I wished to get to know her extra!!! Suffice it to say that I haven’t stopped chatting together with her since then. And from right here on it’s until infinity and past.
