Social media has become one of the most unexpected places to find love, and for Boye, one Instagram photo changed everything.
It was December 2022, and Amaka was having the time of her life in Nigeria, fully embracing the energy of Detty December. She danced, laughed, and celebrated with her friends, soaking in every moment.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Canada, Boye was casually scrolling through Instagram when a single photo stopped him in his tracks.
There she was Amaka, effortlessly radiant in her stunning asoebi at a wedding. Something about her captivated him. He knew he had to find a way to meet her.
After a little detective work, Boye discovered they had a mutual friend Fatima. Excited, he reached out, hoping for an introduction. But Fatima had her own rules.
Don’t even think about sliding into her DMs, she warned. Amaka doesn’t entertain random messages. If you’re serious, wait until she’s back in Canada.
Boye hesitated. What if someone else caught her eye in Nigeria? But he decided to trust Fatima’s advice. He spent the rest of the holiday season watching Amaka’s Instagram stories, drawn to her joy and energy. Then, in January, Amaka was back in Canada, and Fatima made her move.
Amaka, are you single? she asked casually. Amaka, caught off guard, was skeptical. Why was Fatima suddenly asking? Then came the pitch Fatima spoke highly of Boye, insisting he was different from the typical Lagos guy. Amaka wasn’t convinced but agreed to talk to him, just to see where things would go.
That very evening, Boye called. From their first conversation, the chemistry was undeniable. They talked for hours, sharing stories and laughter.
Amaka felt something stir inside her, but she wasn’t about to get ahead of herself. Yet Boye was certain.
On their second call, he boldly declared,“Amaka, you’re going to be my wife. I’m the one who will marry you.
Amaka laughed at his confidence but wasn’t sure if he was serious. When they planned their first date, she canceled last minute, hesitant to dive in.
But Boye didn’t give up. They rescheduled, and when they finally met, everything clicked. From then on, their connection deepened.
Boye showered Amaka with love in ways she had never experienced morning texts, thoughtful gifts, and unwavering care. Slowly, her reservations faded.
By February, just a month after their first call, they were officially a couple. For Amaka’s birthday, Boye whisked her away to Mexico, sealing their love even further.
Eight months later, he proposed. Without hesitation, Amaka said yes.
From a single Instagram photo to a lifetime of love, their journey proves that sometimes, love finds you when you least expect it.
