In a charming twist of events, a Nigerian man, popularly known as Salinas Etsako on TikTok, has captured the hearts of many with his unique love story. Salinas found love in an unexpected place—on the day of a national election, when a female soldier instructed him to perform a frog jump as a form of discipline for his reckless driving. Who could have imagined that a moment of correction would lead to a walk down the aisle?
Salinas shared this humorous yet endearing incident, recalling how his initial meeting with his soon-to-be wife was under not-so-romantic circumstances. He described how the female soldier enforced discipline upon him, turning the routine patrol on election day into a life-changing encounter. Little did either of them know that this encounter would pave the way for love and lifelong companionship.
In a video that has since gone viral, Salinas expressed his joy, considering himself her “second in command”—a nod to their playful dynamic and undeniable connection. This remarkable story has resonated with many Nigerians who value such organic and heartfelt relationship foundations. The duo’s chemistry and shared sense of humor seem to play a pivotal role in their burgeoning relationship.
“She made me do the frog jump on election day just for reckless driving, and now, I’m her second-in-command,” Salinas humorously reflected, showcasing their playful banter and mutual respect.
