Neighbours, now couple shares how they met

The video featured an onscreen caption detailing how the couple's love story kicked off.
The text on the video read:
"From borrowing your neighbour's powerbank to borrowing his surname. 😁 Wait for it...."
According to the post, the couple were neighbours living in the same compound. According to the bride's account, she frequently went to the groom's apartment to charge her device with his powerbank due to electricity challenges. This situation that eventually led to a romantic relationship.
During the traditional Yoruba wedding ceremony, the Alaga did not miss the opportunity to tease the couple. The chanter sang in Yoruba, jokingly telling the wedding guests, especially the single women, to rent apartments and start charging their devices in a man's room.
The groom, dressed in a white Agbada and red cap, smiled happily while his bride, clad in pink traditional lace and a matching Gele, danced along. The couple also posed on a couch alongside their parents.
