American mom, 46, in Kano to marry 23-year-old Instagram lover
Love they say is blind though has been rebuffed by those whose sad experiences in love affairs.
This same love story like a fairy tale has played out in Kano.
The story has it that 46-year-old American woman, Jeanine Delsky, has arrived at Panshekara, a suburb of Kano, to marry her 23-year-old online boyfriend Sulaiman Babayero Isa.
Ms Delsky, who lives in California, USA, landed at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano on Saturday and went straight to Panshekara to meet the parents of her lover.
The two lovers met on Instagram one year ago, exchanged pictures and started online courtship. Ms Delsky said she decided to follow her boyfriend to Kano because of her love for him. She said many people had courted her online but she found Mr Isa as the most loving and sincere.
The mother of two said they both agreed to get married and fly to the US where they intend to settle. Holding the hands of her beau and smiling, Ms Delsky said she realised her dream by meeting the love of her life.
Mr Isa, who has just finished secondary school, said that he is ready to follow his girlfriend to America to settle and build a family.
He said he was not bothered about the age gap, adding that “it’s even the Sunna of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, Peace be Upon Him, to marry a woman who is far older than you”.
He expressed optimism that Ms Delsky would one day accept Islam and become a Muslim.Mr Isa’s mother, Fatima Suleman, said she had no objection to her son’s relationship with American girlfriend, noting that she would pray for them to have a happy married life in America.
The wedding is expected to hold in March this year.
We can only wish them well and pray God to sustain that which has bought them together. After all, it should not be only male centetenarian that should be marrying our under 16 girls. Women, too, can do even better.
For some people, it is better to convert those boys being preyed on by Sugar mummies to Hubbies…isn’t that a cool idea?
