But it’s not just her style that has drawn attention, her extravagant demands have also left the internet baffled. She has demanded land, property in Karachi, and over $100,000 in cash from the government.

While many see her story as a failed love affair, Onijah remains confident that she will reunite with Nidal. She has shared plans to move to Dubai with him and have a baby there.

She also claimed that Nidal will manage her real estate, which she expects the government to provide, and that he will also oversee her cryptocurrency investments.

Even though things were hard for her, Onijah’ bold style raised eyebrows online. Her story also drew attention to the generosity of Pakistani hospitality.

“She is acting like the President of Pakistan,” joked Instagram influencer M’tyma McNeal in a video.

Influencer Aslan Pahari explained that Pakistani people are showing hospitality to the US woman due to their "honor-based culture, Islamic values, and sometimes tribal traditions."

Several Instagram influencers mimicked Onijah’s press conference with philanthropist Ramzan Chhipa in Karachi, while others were particularly fixated on her eyebrows.

Many online users also raised concerns about her mental state and appreciated  the overwhelming hospitality she has received in Pakistan despite her unusual circumstances.
