Kent’s Story
An ordinary encounter
I deleted her number
My first encounter with Queen was quite ordinary — or so I thought. I had gone to see a friend, and while I was there I noticed a beautiful young lady who looked remarkably familiar. I asked my friend about her and discovered she was the younger sister of someone who had been a senior to me during my university days.
I reached out to her, hoping perhaps to get to know her better. But, as fate would have it, she was not particularly responsive on WhatsApp — and, truth be told, I wasn’t exactly the most persistent person either. So I deleted her number.
Little did I know that deleting her number was not the same as deleting her from my life. God had His own plans.
BillionaireOma
Something special
Something happened and I found myself reaching out to her again. This time she was a little more responsive. We started talking. What began as simple conversations gradually became something much more — we could literally talk about anything and everything. Conversations never felt forced. There was always something to discuss, something to laugh about, something to learn, something new to discover about each other.
Initially, what stood out to me was her leadership energy, sound mind, ambition and remarkable business drive. She confidently referred to herself as “BillionaireOma,” and I soon understood that behind the name was a woman with vision, determination and an extraordinary belief in what she could become.
But as I got to know her more deeply, I discovered there was so much more to love. She was respectful, supportive, a lover, beautiful — not just in appearance, but in character — with a charisma that drew people to her. The more I knew her, the more I realised I had encountered something special.
So in April 2023, I made the big move.
Her side
Iheoma’s Story
My stranger. My friend. My forever.
2021 · I was Prayer Secretary
My Stranger
The first time I saw Kent, I was a university student serving as an executive under the umbrella of the Christian Law Students’ Association of Nigeria (CLASFON), UNIZIK chapter. I was the fellowship’s prayer secretary, and I knew I would be president at the handover happening a little time after. He had been called by one of our ex-officios to say hi to the executives. I did not know him then, so we did not speak.
In September 2021, months before I became president, during my morning devotions I noticed God began speaking to me more emphatically on marriage, giving me particular, meticulous and precise instructions. He asked me to write out what I would want whoever was going to be my partner to have. It felt strange at the time, but those same things God made me write down and do are what guided me through that period.
Kent first messaged me in 2021 after getting my number from a choir group chat. As my senior colleague in school, he had attended the same church and knew my elder sister, his own senior colleague — we all studied law, just at different times. He messaged to ask if I was related to her.
2022 · I was President
My Friend
After that message I did not hear from him again until December 2021, a few days before my elder sister’s wedding, when he called to congratulate me on becoming the fellowship’s president. I thanked him, and then we did not speak for some time.
On 7 March 2022, I saw a picture of him on a senior colleague’s WhatsApp status wishing him a happy birthday, so I decided to reciprocate the courtesy he had extended to me and called to wish him well. After that, the more we spoke, the more I realised this guy is smart, loves God, is visionary, and would always make me laugh.
It was in June, after the Ladies’ Conference, that everything settled. The conference ended on Sunday; on Monday I was back home cleaning when the Holy Spirit spoke to me. He told me Kent would ask me out by 2023, and that I should open my heart to give him a chance.
2023 · I became his partner
My Forever
In 2021 we started as strangers. In 2022 we continued as friends. And by 2023, he popped the question — exactly as the Holy Spirit had told me he would.
I’ll say yes a million times over!
“Who knew that coincidence would lead to this coalescence?”
