Ten months after meeting each other on Instagram and falling in love, a young Nigerian man is set to wed his American girlfriend. He said that Nigerian women don’t know the true meaning of love.

Isa Sulaiman is 23 years old, while his lover, Janine Sanchez, mother of two, is a 46-year-old chef in California. They first met face-to-face, when she flew into Kano over the weekend.

Speaking in an interview with BBC Pidgin, the Northern-based former barber belittled Nigerian women after finding love with a white lady.

Di truth be say our women no sabi wetin be true love, it is either dem dey eye somthin or dem get plans but if white woman tell you say she love you, bros she mean am from di bottom of her heart.

We meet after i start to follow her for instagram and if she post pishure i go like am, den afta small time I come see say some Yahoo boys dey try scam her, so I send her message say make she no mind those pipo so dat tin come attract her, e show her say na honest pesin I be. Na dat one first attract her.

From dia we come dey chat wella, video calls and na all dat one lead us to this level wey we dey.

When asked if he and Janine had both slept in the same room since she came to Kano, he said:

We no dey sleep for di same room, i dey stay with her till night before i go tell her good night, even dis one wey we dey do (small hugs and holding hands) pipo dey talk talkless of sleeping together.

Isa also said that his family has given him their blessing to marry Janine and he’s now planning to legally wed her in March before moving with her to the U.S..

Afta di wedding for March by God’s grace na US straight for dia I go get work, go back to school na just secondary school i stop and hopefully get soccer team wey i go play for.

Coming to Janine, she expressed her delight on the welcoming treatment she got since arriving in Nigeria. She added that she was extremely delighted Isa’s family gave their blessing for them to marry.

I don meet im family more dan 100 of dem and e sweet me say all of dem gree for us to marry, many of dem neva see white woman before, na so dem come dey play wit my hair, dey touch my hand.

Janine, who works as a chef at an Afghani Restaurant in California also said she would travel back to America next month and return to Nigeria in March for their wedding.

I dey go back by next month and I go return for March for our wedding before me and am go move to America finally.
