And nobody even follow her to Nigeria, meaning, nobody approved her action in America!

Does she know that the way we treat women in Nigeria, especially in the North, is completely different from that of America?@oladiran

Good to see this but if the American woman was black either from Nigeria or anywhere from the Africa continent I’m 100% sure they won’t allow him to marry her. We have our hate within but love people from away.The woman is in her menopause age already. God please OPEN our EYES 👀 in Africa let’s see and understand things not just follow the crowd without thinking.@Rankin0302

Had it been that Suleiman is a Southerner, the EFCC would have arrested him as a Yahoo Yahoo boy. The EFCC arbitrarily arrests youths in clubs and label them as Yahoo Yahoo. One and indivisible Nigeria will remain a mirage so long as double standard remains the standard operating.@constan02592105

Am happy for their union. To some they’ll decided to dupe the woman and forget about her.@nakuruyusuf.
