- Shehu Sani Blesses Marriage
23-year-old Suleiman Isah Isah of Panshekara in Kano metropolis has married his heartthrob, Janine Sanchezt, a 46-year-old American mother.
The wedding reportedly took place at MOPOL 52 Barracks Juma’at Mosque in Panshekara, Kumbotso Local Government of Kano State on Sunday.
The wedding ceremony however has sparked mixed reactions on social media, most especially on Twitter as many shared that the age difference was wide.
It was gathered from the wedding ceremony that as at 11:00 am, thousands of well-wishers from within and outside the state thronged the mosque to witness the historic event.
Isah is said to have met Janine some two years back on Instagram until she decided to come to Nigeria in February to start the wedding process.
The groom, Isah, paid N50,000 to his bride as dowry.
A former senator representing Kaduna Central in Nigerian Senate, Shehu Sani, who is also a relative of the groom’s father stood as Janine’s guardian.
It was gathered that the bride who has been in Kano for the past one week will spend two more weeks before departing to the United States.
Her new husband is expected to join her in the US in the next six months when his visa is ready.

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.
