July 19, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress, Ini Dima-Okojie, has announced her engagement to a fan on Instagram who gifted her Malteser chocolate two years ago.
Dima-Okojie disclosed this on her Instagram page over the weekend as she announced to her fans that she said YES to Abasi Ene-Obong.
The actress, who played the lead role in “Namaste Wahala,” a blockbuster Nigerian-Indian film, disclosed that she met Abasi two years ago.
According to the actress, she had taken to her Instastories to complain about how she was unable to get her favourite chocolate in Lagos.
Upon seeing her post, Abasi had sent an email to her from London saying that he would love to send some Maltesers chocolate to her.
A week later, according to Ini, she got a whole bag filled with Maltesers, her favourite chocolate.
She wrote: “About two years ago, on one random day I was ranting on my Instastories about not being able to find fresh crispy Maltesers in Lagos (they are one of my favourite chocolates).
“Next thing, I get an email from an Abasi titled ‘Maltesers from London’, saying he saw my rant on Instagram and he was in London at the time and would love to send some Maltesers to my manager or representative’s address.
“One week later I got a whole bag filled with Maltesers. I was so happy, I posted it on my Insta Stories saying I had the best fans. But you were not just a fan and boy did you let me know!
“Reading our old emails now… I can’t help but smile and thank God for how far we’ve come.
“No matter how long it took me to come around or how much I pushed back, you were always there, in one of your emails you said ‘I’ll move mountains to be in the same space as you Ini’ and that’s what you’ve always done.
“Thank you for fighting for us. Thank you for being everything you are to me. I can’t thank God enough for bringing you my way. You are a man Abasi, in the way I can imagine that God expects a man to be.
“You are a force, not just because of what you do but who you are inside. You are a kind man, a good man, a man of integrity, a man I can depend and rely on, a man I can be completely vulnerable with, a man that I feel safe with… a man that I love.
“I love you Abasi, more than words can describe. And I am so ready to walk this path of life with you baby. Here’s to forever.”
