It is no longer news that social media comedienne and comedy skit maker Taaooma is engaged to her long-time beau, Abula, and their love story is nothing short of beautiful.
The couple met in Ilorin, Kwara State, during Abula’s NYSC year, and guess what drew them to each other? Their love for filming and editing. When Abula was ready to pop the question, he took her to Namibia, where she grew up, and yes, she said yes!
How We Met (By the groom-to-be, Abula)
I met her during my NYSC in Kwara State; she had just returned from Namibia for her higher studies at Kwasu. Her older brother was a family friend, so with this, we got close automatically. She developed so much interest in what I do, which is filming and editing, and I decided to teach her and put her through the basics. A few months down the line, I realized I couldn’t do without her, and I had become so fond of her! It took me no time to know I was in love and she was the one for me. Luckily for me, the feeling was mutual, and then we decided to take the relationship to the next step by dating. Since then, she has been the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I knew there was no turning back, as this was the woman I was going to make my wife.

Our Proposal Story (By the groom-to-be, Abula)
For the proposal, I contacted @sparkplugproposals to assist in the planning. I chose Namibia and decided to fly with her because that’s where she grew up, and I wanted her to share the moment with a few of her close friends, most especially because Namibia holds a special place in her heart. I was going to propose on her birthday, but I didn’t want her to suspect or have a clue, so I decided to propose immediately after her birthday. She said YES, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.
