The couple acknowledged how hard it was to combine business with their NYSC, but their dedication inspired netizens.

When contacted, Agbogunleye Oluwaseun Ayomide told Legit.ng that they are not married yet, but confirmed that they are in courtship.

He said he and his fiancee, Olufemi Oluwatosin Oluwasanumi, both studied sociology at Ekiti State University (EKSU).

His words:

"We are both from Ekiti state. We were into the fast food business when we were in school, so we decided to start something here, too, and the inspiration of Akara came through the help of God. We are serving in Abadina College inside UI, but I camped in Imo state while my fiancee camped in Kaduna state."
