She explained that the two met long before they rose to fame and eventually married, crossing paths at a General Certificate Examination (GCE) centre while she was still in university. At that time, May had moved from Lagos to Enugu State University to pursue her degree, whereas Yul was studying at the University of Port Harcourt.
May emphasized that their meeting was not at a social gathering or a glamorous event; it happened in the modest setting of the GCE centre. “We didn’t meet at a party or any glamorous setting, we met at a GCE centre,” she said, describing herself as an academically driven young woman. Her account sheds light on the couple’s background, highlighting their focus on education before entering the entertainment industry.
