It’s the 21st century and there are really no rules as to how to go about getting a spouse. While it used to be a taboo for a woman to approach a man to ask for his hand in marriage, particularly in Nigeria, or communicate basic interest with anything more than clues and “green light”, culture has evolved to the point where it is not out of the ordinary.
Before online news mediums became a thing, Newspaper advertorial pages would carry enquiries for love partners. But now that social media is a force to reckon with, people are taking their enquiries to Twitter, Facebook, the ‘Gram, and hooking up and settling down with someone they met on social media is now the norm.
Cue Miss Foyin: CU(Covenant University) grad, Fashionista, Unashamed of the Gospel of Christ as her Twitter profile declares. She reached out via Twitter to put out her very specific request below:

Too much to ask? Let’s hear from Twitter:
Gutsy
I like this. Gutsy. It's better than dating apps. I know someone with ALL these specs. He is married now. But that means it's possible.
