A Nigerian man has sparked reactions online after recounting how his first encounter with his wife convinced him that she was the woman he wanted to marry.

In a viral post on X, the man, identified as @steezzy10, recalled that during their first encounter, he jokingly asked the woman for £100.

According to him, she sent the money without asking what he intended to use it for, a gesture that immediately caught his attention.

He said the incident made him realise that she could be his soulmate.

“That’s when I knew”

The man revealed that the encounter eventually blossomed into marriage, adding that the couple have now been married for two years.

Reflecting on the experience, he encouraged other men to follow his example and “bill” women, apparently joking that asking for money could help them identify a generous partner.

Story sparks reactions

The post has generated mixed reactions on X, with users sharing jokes and different opinions about the couple’s unusual beginning.
