From Facebook Friend Request to a Romantic Proposal, Nigerian Couple Shares Sweet
Love Story (Photos).


Awele Nwokolo met Afam JohnPaul Nwokolo
after he sent her a friend request on Facebook
three years ago.

Once she accepted his request and confirmed
that they aren't related, as they both have same
last name, he told her to send her house
address and her mom's phone number because
as soon as he arrived back in Nigeria, he was
going to tell her parents he's going to marry
their daughter.

Fast forward to January, 2017, he popped the
question with a beautiful diamond ring. Their
meeting was trailed with some
coincidences...they both bear the same
surname, Nwokolo, their fathers are from
Asaba, Delta state and mothers from Illah, Delta
state and to top it all, their grandmothers
happened to be childhood friends.

Read their love story below:

"3 years ago, I got a friend request from a
JohnPaul Nwokolo guy and I thought since he
had the same last name as me, he was
probably a distant cousin. He was vacationing
in London at the time and I was in the US. He
immediately sent me a message asking where I
was from..turns out we're both from Asaba. He
went on to ask what village..he wanted to make
sure we weren't from the same village cos we
could be sibling.
"When he confirmed we weren't, he told me to
send my house address and my mom's phone
number because as soon as he arrived back in
Nigeria, he was going to tell my parents he's
going to marry their daughter! I thought he was
the most creepy guy ever! Who says that to a
girl u started talking to five minutes ago. I
ignored him and his messages for the longest
time but this guy defined PERSISTENCE! He
kept texting till I gave up and replied and less
than 6 weeks after, he was in my parents
home!
"Professing undying love for me and telling
them he'd marry me (he hadn't even seen me in
person) my mom called me after he left and
said "that's a man who knows what he wants, I
like him!" I laughed it off, it was too soon to
take him serious. But he turned out to be the
besttttttt boyfriend ever and I started to see how
eternity with this man would be a blessing.
Here's the interesting part..all the coincidences
that trail our relationship
"•We're both Nwokolos. •Our dads are from
Asaba, Delta state. •Our moms are both from
Illah, Delta state. •Our grandmothers are
childhood friends •He has a sister called Awele
too •My mom is Clementina, his mom is
Justina (notice the Tina) •Our dads both bear
Ike.
•Our families are both strong Catholics.
Obviously this was a union carefully ordained
from above! We knew we were meant to be
together.
"The way Afam loves me is evidence that God
loves me intensely. And I'm just as crazy about
him! @damanijones I can't wait till this is
officially sealed! You're a King..you got your
Queen now #isaidyes
#themostbeautifulproposal #theNwokolos."
