Ebinipere Benny Odumu , a popular graphics designer and visual branding expert who has been championing the #SkillsNotKill and #LaptopNotGuns movements through his free graphics design and enterprise development training since 2017 has started the forever journey with his girlfriend, Standfast Okorite Adokiye.

Benny and Okorite were just Facebook users until they met in a comments section on Facebook in 2012.

It started as a joke in the comments section for Okorite but unknown her Benny was dead serious. In the Facebook chats, Benny told her he will never let her go until she says yes.

She replied with lol. And Benny made it clear to her that he’s been following her up like a new convert letting her know that only time will tell.

And she replied Benny with a subtle compliment and greenlight “i like your faith sha. Let’s see how it goes.

Nine years after, Benny proposed to Okorite, in October 2021 and she said yes.

As a man who does not only know what he wants but ready for it, they did their traditional wedding five months after the proposal on March 17th in Abonnema Town, Rivers State. Their wedding followed immediately on March 19th in Port Harcourt and they look so stunning as couple.
