Read excerpts of the interview below:
How did you meet?
Jimmy: I went to the same secondary school with her cousin and she came for her cousin’s introduction.
I hadn’t seen her cousin in a while and we said let’s hook up and catch up. We got to Ooh La La, in Ikeja. I get out of the car, she gets out of the car and I said who is that and he said, “she’s my cousin”. So the first time I saw her was at Ooh La La, in the parking lot.
What year was this?
Jimmy: It was in 2011
Was it love at first sight.
Jimmy: Actually no, I talked more to her cousin, Kike, catching up, updating each other. I hardly spoke to her. We were talking of relationships and she said she has been single for four years and she hasn’t seen what she is looking for. I said this is Lagos, this is your first time in a long time, before you know it you will have lots of offers, people will probably offer to chat you up, and her cousin suggested that we exchange contacts since we were both single and I said okay. That was the first day.
Kemi: The next day was my cousin’s introduction and that was when we started talking. He asked my cousin’s permission to talk to me.
