Debola, the son of former Governor of Ogun state, Otunba Gbenga Daniel will finally be walking down the isle as he engaged his new lover and bride-to-be few days back. UK-based Debola engaged Morenike, the woman after his heart at a private event that had few family members and friends of the couple-to-be in attendance. This is coming 4 years after Debola had proposed to his long-time Jamaican girlfriend, Tasha. But their marriage plans did not work out. He has found love again and this time, they are already on the way to the alter.
Here is their love story, according to the bride-in-making; "Our love story started before we knew it was being written. We actually went to the same primary school and I had always known him and his siblings. But I was more focused on eating all the sweets and Caprisonne I could find back then! Even my mum knew him, and over the years she would occasionally ask about him, which I had no real answer to because we didn’t keep in touch. Fast forward to some years later and he posted a tweet that went viral on Twitter. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was him because he was a lot cuter than I remembered. But he confirmed that he did actually go to CTC International school. He was always cute in school, but this new and improved Debola was next level. The glow up was definitely real! We started talking in starts and stops first on Twitter, then we moved to WhatsApp, then back to Twitter and finally moved back to WhatsApp. He is very intelligent and his diction is amazing so our friendship started easily. One day, we were having a serious conversation, talking about love and relationships generally and this guy just ghosted me. I even sent him a light-hearted message the next day – you know, just stylishly checking that he’s okay. No response, but I saw that he posted on Twitter! So I just kept it moving."
OGD and his wife, Yeye Olufunke have already started plans to make their son's big day memorable.
