Couples all over the world have taken to social media to share interesting stories of how they met their significant other.
The discourse started when a Twitter user asked couples to recount how they met their partners. The tweet has since gone viral, eliciting responses from people from different countries in the world, including Nigeria.
One of the stories that stood out is that of a Nigerian couple who met in the most hilarious way during their junior secondary school years. The man with the handle @Hon_Danjo shared their story on Twitter.
“She was the class captain when we were in JSS1. Mocked me for bringing Eko and MoinMoin to school for lunch. Hated me because I was short & troublesome. One day, I was sent home for school fees so was not in school. Teacher told her to write noisemakers list. She wrote my name x100
I wasn't allowed to explain to the teacher that I wasn't in school. How can I be a noisemaker? They flogged me like a thief. Met her years later, and we kicked it off. I have been flogging her since then, I have two beautiful receipts to show for it. 😅😅😅😅😜😜😜😜”
The couple, who now have two kids, reconnected years after their initial encounter and are now happily married.
Other Twitter users also shared their unique and interesting love stories. Some met their partners in unusual places, while others reconnected after several years apart. See some of the stories below:
