US woman in Karachi demands $100,000 from govt

Philanthropist Ramzan Chhipa addressed a press conference with the displaced US woman Onijah Andrew Robinson in Karachi on Friday. The American woman demanded $100,000 from the government stating that she will move to Dubai with her husband and family.

Onijah expressed her displeasure with the Karachi's streets and transport, saying, "This city needs to be reconstructed."

"I demand $100K from the government in my pocket so I can do real estate, and my husband will own it in Karachi. We will not live here, but we will get this job done," she said.

She also asked the government to immediately provide her with Rs20,000 by the end of this week.

Robinson further stated that she and her husband plan to move to Dubai, where the couple will "have a baby soon."

Onijah also refused to share details about her family, saying, "It’s private. I am a Muslim, and it is against my religion to tell you my business."

The woman told philanthropist Ramzan Chhipa to refer to her as Pakistani, not American. 

"I am from Pakistan," she said, after which the philanthropist referred to her as 'Pakistani sister.'

As Ramzan Chhipa was earnestly urging Onijah’s boyfriend to meet her and resolve the matter amicably, the American woman interrupted him, stopping Chhipa from speaking further.

“You talk too much,” she said angrily to Ramzan Chhipa.

Chhipa Welfare founder Ramzan Chhipa said that the US woman, who had travelled to Pakistan in search of her Karachi-based boyfriend, appears to be "struggling with her mental state".

“We are taking care of her, as our lady volunteers stayed with her overnight, and I could not sleep  due to her situation,” he said.  

“She jumps between different topics, sometimes talking  about one thing and sometimes another," he said, adding, "I request her family to come here immediately and take her with them as she is unwell,” he maintained.

"I couldn't see her suffering anymore, as she has been displaced for a month, which is why I brought her here."

Ramzan Chhipa urged Nidal Memon, whom she claimed was her husband, to visit the Chippa Foundation so that he could arrange a meeting with her.

“We all want to resolve this matter with dignity,” he added. 

Onijah Andrew Robinson, accompanied by Ramzan Chhipa, addressed the media and expressed her intention to settle abroad, stating, "I will go to Dubai with my husband soon."

The woman was shifted to a shelter home of the Chhipa welfare organisation after a guesthouse owner refused to accommodate her. Onijah Andrew Robinson also fell ill due to exhaustion from her chaotic journey in Karachi.
