Their love story as shared by Yinka:

It all started with rolled eyes, Snapchat and a less-than-exciting conversation – not necessarily the best baseline for this fantastic journey it turned out to be. We were introduced by my cousin in January 2020. She mentioned that she had a friend she wanted to introduce me to that lived in Nigeria whilst they were making breakfast on Saturday morning and I rolled my eyes. I immediately objected as I was not interested in any more long-distance relationships talk much less with a Nigerian man living in Nigeria. By the end of the evening, by some cosmic intervention, I agreed to exchange contact details with Dami and have spoken every day since January 11, 2020.

There were plans to meet in March 2020 but the pandemic seemed to have its own agenda. But the rest, as they say, is history. While being physically apart, we learnt to communicate as clearly as possible, we were honest about how we felt at the moment, understood that silence doesn’t have to be awkward or uncomfortable and be creative in doing things together – our first date was on facetime.  They both agreed on a set menu that included drinks, candles and dessert!
