Everyone who uses Facebook will have come across some pretty strange posts in their time.
SNIP
But a Nigerian man took that to a whole new level when he posted an unusual advert.
Chidimma Amedu put up a post on 30 December, asking any woman interested in being his wife to reply, he told the BBC.
"Am of age to and I am ready to say I do and am wasting no time.
"Send in your applications - the most qualified will be married on January 6, 2018. Application closes 12 midnight, 31/12/2017," he posted.
He then followed up with subsequent posts.
"Am serious about this oh and don't say you did not see it on time. Good luck."
He received a couple of responses, but one from a certain Sophy Ijeoma was the one which caught his attention.
"Am interested, just DM me...lols," her post read.
At first, she thought it was a joke and she simply replied to keep the thread flowing.
A direct message from him to her inbox, followed by a Facebook call, would change her life's trajectory.
Chidimma placed the advert initially as a joke but became optimistic when Sophy said she was interested Two days after their first conversation, he travelled some 500km (300 miles) from his home in the northern city of Abuja, to Enugu in the east where she lived.
She had been waiting for him outside a retail store and in true fairy-tale style, "it was love at first sight", she recalled.
"He is the most handsome man I've ever met and I liked him instantly."
After two hours of "awkward" conversation, he asked her to go to meet his uncle, who incidentally is also resident in Enugu.

Yeah, just wait till he asks for your bank account password.................
Odd... she doesn’t LOOK psycho-batcrap crazy...
WOW!
I just got an email....
“My name is Mrs. Chidimma Amedu and I just got married on 30 Dec. Unfortunatley my darling husband was ravaged and killed by a drunken mule the follow fort night leave me US $13,050 dlls.
I am beseeching you for help please as I .....”
I knew the moment I met my wife that she was the person I was going to marry. She did as well. A week after we met each other, we were talking about our wedding and our future kids as if it were a matter of fact.
If you know, you know. Might as well not waste time.
Yes she does. Those eyebrows.
Who knew Nigerians used the Mexican trick of using Sharpies for eyebrows?
Which one owns all the Warhol paintings?
Lots of cultures have arranged marriages where the betrothed don’t meet each other until days before the event, and they work out just fine.
Good for them.
Sometime flowers grow in...ah nevermind.
I’m sure the screenplay is already written.
You apparently missed the eyebrows.
great minds.
Lovely couple.
Lemme guess, the one with the largest dowry was the most qualified.
that’s weird. you usually wake up 6 days later in a bathtub of ice with your kidney missing
Beautiful couple! And sweet story Drew68! :)
