Man amazed at seeing oyinbo lady

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a video shared by @farielysian showed the moment a Nigerian man wanted to kiss an oyinbo lady he did not even know.

At the start of the clip, a stranger approached him on the street with the picture of the beautiful lady on his phone, asking him his thought about her.

The man said she is fine and if he were to see her, he would kiss her. He never believed he could meet the oyinbo lady in real life.
