"I was so focused on landing the job that I didn’t even notice the Tall, Dark and Handsome (TDH) HR dude who sat in my interview that kept staring at me. I noticed him but kept wondering why he was so quiet and didn’t ask any questions as he hardly spoke," she narrated.

But after the interview, Okonji could not get her mind off the quiet gentleman at the interview. Two weeks later, she received an offer letter and started her job. Soon after, she and her interviewer started a friendship that blossomed into a beautiful relationship.

"We knew that for us to take it to the next level, one of us had to leave the organization, but we continued our plans in faith and believed that a new job will come in due time. God at the right time blessed him with a job on my birthday April 8," Okonji wrote.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian man surprised many on his wedding day as he kept crying (for joy). He would not stop even when his friends tried consoling him.

Whenever he tried to keep the tears back, they would come cascading down his cheeks again. Many Nigerians have since reacted to the video posted on Instagram.

Many wondered why he was crying so much if he may still in the future marry more than one wife.
