How the couple met

The man went ahead to say that when the lady saw him then, she thought he was alone and decided to make small talk with him. In his words:
“She approached me because she felt I was alone and not talking to anyone not knowing I was feeling too big to mingle with them all.”
According to Taofiq, when Ronke realised how smart he is, the lady decided to sit by his side throughout the exams.
Relationship after exams
The husband stated that after the exams were done, Ronke kept in touch as she felt they had a deep connection because of their birthdays. He said:
“After the exam she always kept in touch because she felt there might be bond between us because of our birthdays. Honestly, she practically forced me to be her friend. We got very close later on to the extent that she knew virtually all my friends and friends with benefits.”
Taofiq added that while they were friends, they both had different people they were dating. He stated that he never knew how se’xually appealing she was until she sent him a photo. They later got married in 2019.
The man, however, said that he does not consider birthday special like his wife does, adding that their birthdays were the reason the woman married him.
On how they celebrate
According to the father of two kids, they mostly celebrate their birthdays indoors with his wife’s homemade cooking.
“My wife is not the type that likes wasting money in the restaurants, she prefers to experiment on food recipes. We celebrate our birthdays most times at home with her cooking delicious intercontinental food I have never even heard of…”
He said that now that one of their kids shares the same birth month with them, they may have to change future celebration plans.
I met my wife while earning N50k
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian man with the handle @_Muffassa took to social media to narrate how he met his US-based wife while he was still a man earning N50,000 per month.
When the woman’s friends advised her to stay away from Nigerian men, she never minded, adding that she saw something unique in him.
According to the man, the woman would always come from America to visit him twice every year. Three years after their dating, she helped the man relocate to the US.
