Jeanine Delsky, a 46-year-old American, has made the journey to Panshekara in Kano to marry her 23-year-old Instagram crush, Sulaiman Babayero Isa. Their relationship started after they exchanged photos on Instagram. One year later, she has arrived to proceed with their marriage.
Upon her arrival at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano on Saturday, January 11, Daily Nigerian reported that the single mother met her prospective in-laws. Delsky described Isa as loving and sincere, and shared their plan to settle in the United States after tying the knot.
Delsky relayed her experience to Kano Focus, saying, “He messaged me on Instagram saying Hi. I didn’t respond because I have had experiences with Nigerian scammers. But there was a guy messaging me and Sulaiman knew he was a scammer so he said ‘get a job and quit scamming innocent people.’ So I thought he sounded like a nice guy.”
Isa, who has just completed secondary school, expressed his willingness to relocate with Delsky to the United States and voiced his lack of concern about the age difference.
Additionally, Isa mentioned that he expects Delsky to convert to Islam after their marriage in March, stating, “It’s even the Sunna of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, Peace be Upon Him, to marry a woman who is far older than you.”
Isa’s mother, Fatima Suleman, expressed her support by stating that she has no issue with her son marrying an older woman and extended her wishes for a happy married life in America.
