A Promise Made, A Promise Kept — With Receipts!

On Wednesday, July 30, Joseph took to Facebook to share photos of the massive billboard, which boldly displayed Ugonna’s image with the inscription: “You are mine forever.”

The billboard also featured snapshots from their colorful traditional ceremony held earlier in July 2025, turning heads both online and on the street. According to Joseph, the move wasn’t just a random act — omo, it was a promise made over a year ago!

“So a little over a year ago, I told my wife — who was just a friend back then — ‘Las Las, na me go marry you.’ And she said, ‘God forbid!’”

“We were very close friends, like real close, so the idea sounded mad to her. But I told her, ‘When I marry you, I’ll put up a billboard.’ Guess what? Promise made, promise kept,” Joseph wrote.

Social Media Reacts: “This One Na Public Display of Affection Premium Package!”

The heartwarming post — complete with wedding pics and the towering billboard — has since gone viral across platforms like Facebook, X, and Instagram. Nigerians didn’t waste time flooding the comment sections with reactions ranging from awe to tears of joy to banter.

Some users jokingly asked where they could find their own “Joseph,” while others admired the couple’s deep friendship-to-lovers story.

Another added, “She talk ‘God forbid’ but now see na, billboard don carry her fine face. Omo this one loud!”
