The
22-year-old girl, Zainab Abdulmalik had on 'Inda Ranka', a popular
programme of the radio station on Wednesday disclosed her intention to
give the items to anybody who marries her.
Our

The
girl had requested that all interested young boys who are between the
ages of 17 and 25 should assemble at the radio station for screening on
Wednesday morning.
When
our correspondent went to the radio station around 11.am, hundreds of
youths were seen slugging it out with security men of the radio
station. While waiting at the entrance of the station, the boys were
seen running after all female visitors, asking them whether they are
Zainab.
The
number of interested persons who were mainly teenagers kept swelling
until the lady arrived around 1.pm. When she arrived, they all pounced
on her expressing their love to her. She was ferried away by security
operatives when the boys swooped on her.

Speaking to our correspondent, one of the boys, Haruna Usman said he was interested in the lady because of the offer.
“You
know it is not un-Islamic to marry a lady because of her wealth or
knowledge, so I’m here because of the offer. I have been longing to
marry for long but my financial status has been weighing me down. Nobody
will get this opportunity that will not grab it,” he said.
For
his part, Mohammed Mustapha (25) said he decided to offer himself to
her because of the way she was treated by her ex-boyfriend.
“I’m
not a poor man because my business capital is over N1million but I came
to marry because she was jilted by her lover. If she agrees to marry
me, I promise you she will not regret it,” he said.
In
an interview with our correspondent, the girl who hailed from Osun
state said she decided to offer the items because she was betrayed by
her longtime boyfriend.
“I’m
a trader at the singer market and I invested about N5million on my
lover but he jilted me after all I have done for him. It is against this
that I went to the radio station to offer these items to anybody who is
willing to marry me. I’m single and I have never married before,” she
said.
