The duo’s love story began with a chance encounter at the University of Buckingham in the United Kingdom where Catherine who’s fondly called Neya by friends and family was studying for a Master’s Degree in Human Resources. Lawrence, who is a native of Irrua in Edo State was also at the same university in a quest for a Master’s Degree in Investment and Finance.
