Ours has been a journey of its own kind, literally. The engines of our bus roared to life unnoticed once we exchanged glances at a tech meetup called Usable.

I was teaching a class while she listened with a type of attention I had not seen in a while. Afterwards I said hello, and although it took 6 months later before I told her “I think we have got great chemistry” and she ghosted me for weeks before eventually saying yes, the journey of a lifetime we are on right now began right there at CCHub, Yaba.

I was adjusting to my career switch from accounting to product design. He was moving his team from Ibadan to Lagos and they were establishing themselves.

At the same time, Lagos was adjusting to social distance during the lockdown. In the midst of all that change, we found love. I attended this talk and this young man was sharing some insights on design I had never paid attention to. I was glued, and he noticed.

After the talk, I wanted to check his height if I wasn’t taller than him. He claims that means I was in love on the spot. I never admit that 😃. We became the perfect fit and influenced one another in so many ways in a very short time

I picked up gym workout from him while he started to meditate based on my influence. I became more business-savvy while he got even closer to the Lord. I found more calm from him in situations while he picked more persistence from me. “Onike doesn’t take no for an answer”, he says, and together we have forced open doors that appeared to be closed.
