Whoever thought policy wonks, bloggers, brand engineers, writers and activists could get creative with marriage proposals?
Well, until Ogunyemi Bukola ( @zebbook) happened, that is.
As drive time traffic in Lagos snarled into fits of temper and cussing, our Twitter timelines slipped into a momentary romantic voyage…
And so the evening begins… ![:)]()

But heck, she was driving…which built-up the tension for a while as Bukola twiddled his thumb in sheer apprehension, we reckon.
To get turned down on Twitter would have been the ultimate twist of a romantic tale. No one’s ever rejected a Twitter marriage proposal, last time we checked…
Ohmagad!

Yeah, ‘Ohmagad’ is the romantic and tusher version of ‘O ma ga o’. Except that there were other variants…
OhmaGod!!! Ohmagoodness!!!! Bukola — Countess ♚ (@MsToluh) October 15, 2015
Kai, I’m driving!!!!
— Countess ♚ (@MsToluh) October 15, 2015
Sigh. I’m a mess! — Countess ♚ (@MsToluh) October 15, 2015
No, you aren’t Ms. You are in love.
The wait was over for all of us when…
YES!!!! https://t.co/uBVFJEFihY
— Countess ♚ (@MsToluh) October 15, 2015
I love you too! https://t.co/GisVLR0n95 — Countess ♚ (@MsToluh) October 15, 2015
That, right there, is how to propose via social media in the 21st century.
We can wager that a lot of planning and office time must have gone into this.
You can pick Bukola’s brains in the future, all you young romantic wannabes.
And we’ll be right here to blog it.
