Social media users are cracking up after a young lady shared the hilarious response she received from a man whose message she finally replied to three years after he first texted her.
In a viral video posted on X (formerly Twitter), captioned “POV: I opened one Instagram DM after 3 years”, the lady revealed that she recently stumbled on an old message from a man who had written “Hi dear” on January 30, 2022. Out of curiosity, she decided to respond with a simple “Hi.”
To her surprise, the man, now apparently married, replied three hours later with laughing emojis and a witty comeback that read: “3 years reply… Me wey don marry.”
The post quickly went viral, sparking laughter and relatable comments from netizens.
X user Princewill Ibe noted, “Finally getting a reply after three years is both hilarious and painfully relatable… it shows how social media can turn even the simplest chats into long-running sagas.”
Others also shared their own similar stories of being ignored or “left on read” for years before reconnecting unexpectedly.
The viral moment highlights just how unpredictable — and sometimes funny — online communication can be, especially when time and life change everything
