A Nigerian lady’s unexpected love story is warming hearts across social media
—
Love, they say, comes when you least expect it — and for Stella Gbadeyan, it walked right into her life holding a screwdriver and a soldering iron.
Stella recently took to social media to announce her upcoming wedding to Solomon Segun, the man she once only knew as “that guy who fixed her phone.” But what makes this story even more delicious? She was actually angry at him when he popped the question!
The Love Story Nobody Saw Coming
We’ve all been there — cracked screen, dead battery, or a phone that just refuses to cooperate. For most of us, a trip to the phone repairer is a quick transaction: drop the phone, pay the money, collect your device, and go about your business.
But for Stella, that routine visit turned into something far more beautiful.
Solomon Segun, her phone repair technician, apparently saw something special in his customer and decided to shoot his shot. And honestly? We stan a man with courage.
“I Was Angry When He Proposed”
In a revelation that has got Nigerians talking, Stella admitted that her initial reaction to Solomon’s proposal was pure anger.
And we totally understand — imagine going to collect your repaired phone and the oga behind the counter starts talking marriage! In Nigeria, where we already have trust issues with phone repairers pricing us anyhow, adding a marriage proposal to the mix? That’s a lot to process!
But clearly, Solomon was persistent, genuine, and proved himself worthy — because today, wedding bells are ringing!
Why This Story Matters
In a country where people are often judged by their profession, Solomon and Stella’s story is a beautiful reminder that love does not check your CV before it arrives.
Too many Nigerians are sleeping on hardworking, skilled tradespeople — the welders, mechanics, tailors, and yes, phone repairers — who are quietly building something solid with their hands.
Solomon didn’t need a Lagos Island office address or a foreign degree to win the heart of his woman. He showed up, he was consistent, and he shot his shot with confidence.
The Internet Reacts
As expected, Nigerians on social media have been serving their hottest takes:
– “So while I’m dropping my phone for repair, love could have been waiting for me there?”
– “This man fixed her phone AND her heart. Double service, no extra charge.”
– “The real glow-up is not the phone — it’s the relationship.”

Congratulations to Stella and Solomon as they prepare to begin their forever journey together.
Their story is proof that in Nigeria, love can find you anywhere — at a bustling Ikeja Computer Village stall, a roadside kiosk, or a small repair shop tucked between a POS stand and a pepper soup joint.
To everyone still waiting: maybe it’s time to go fix that phone. 😄❤️
