Not long ago, Onijah Andrew Robinson, the American woman, made headlines for her dramatic ordeal in Pakistan, where she was left stranded for four months after being abandoned by her “lover” upon her arrival in Karachi.
The US citizen had traveled to Karachi seeking love, only to be left behind by the young man named Nidal Ahmed Memon, a resident of Karachi’s Garden area, leaving her stuck in the country.
Now, she has returned with a new and surprising assertion — that this very man remains her “husband.”
A recently released video revealed that Onijah, who was also stuck in Dubai for an additional month after her time in Pakistan, has finally returned to her home country.
“I’m glad to be back in New York. I’m glad about that. I’m happy about that. To be back in New York. That’s all I have to say right now,” she stated in response to a question about her whereabouts.
When asked if she was still in contact with anyone from Pakistan, Onijah made a bold declaration that she is indeed in touch with someone, who is her “husband.”

“Yes, I am [with] my husband. He lives in Pakistan. […] I love you, baby. We are together,” she said.
Onijah clarified that “this is one guy. This is my husband. Nidal Ahmed,” when the person behind the camera inquired if it was “a different guy” or if she had met someone else.
Revealing how she had met her husband, Onijah shared that she got to know him “on a romantic date” after they connected through the internet.
When asked about any plans to return to Pakistan, she replied: “You know, we’re going to discuss that. Well, right now, we’re all staying in New York.”
It’s worth recalling that during her stay in Pakistan, Onijah had demanded that authorities pay her $3,000 per week for her living expenses.
When questioned if she received any money or land in Pakistan, she said, “they’re saying they gonna give that land, they gonna give that $20K […] $50K straight.”
“They were gonna give me the $100K every week, but I left. So we’re gonna see what they gonna work on while I’m not there. I do have chips that have my face on it in Pakistan. I love you guys […] I miss you guys in Pakistan.”
Onijah also claimed that she will soon have her own show with her “husband,” and it would be “exclusive.”
Onijah’s Viral Story
The 33-year-old American woman found herself in a difficult situation in Pakistan after falling for a teenager from Karachi. She traveled from New York to Karachi with the intention of marrying him but was left stranded when the teenager withdrew from the marriage due to pressure from his family.
Reportedly, Onijah arrived in Karachi on October 11, 2024, on a 30-day tourist visa. During her stay, her visa expired, and she overstayed, preventing her from leaving the country.
As Robinson did not possess a valid ticket for the US, the Airport Security Force (ASF) did not allow her to enter the airport premises. Later, following the intervention of Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori, she was assisted with the issuance of a new visa, a return ticket, and an exit permit.

However, after receiving clearance from airport staff, she abruptly changed her mind and refused to board the flight, accusing airline staff of forcing her to leave the country.
She also spent some time in the psychiatric ward of Jinnah Hospital after her health deteriorated. It may be noted that her son, Jeremiah Robinson, released a video from the US, claiming that Onijah was “bipolar” after her story went viral on social media.
She finally agreed to return to the US after persuasion from staff at the US Consulate in Karachi and flew to the US. There were reports that she was then stuck in Dubai for almost a month due to issues with her travel documents.
