At the time, Chioma was studying Economics and Davido was pursuing a music degree.
Recalling the moment vividly, Davido said, “I had been in school for about a year when my career took off. It was during that time that I first laid eyes on my wife. I can never forget that day.”
“I was sitting in a Prado when I glanced behind me and spotted a girl walking. It was Chioma, holding her bag. I instantly knew I was drawn to her.”
Turning to his friend, Lati, Davido requested, “Lati, my friend, I really like that girl. Please go and call her for me.”
Although she didn’t respond to the call initially, fate eventually brought Chioma to Lagos where they eventually met up. Davido reminisced, “When we finally connected, I knew she was the one. I thought to myself, ‘Yes, I’ve found you.’”
Davido and Chioma’s love story began through these interactions, and it has brought them to this point.
