Timeline of American woman Onijah’s journey in Pakistan that has taken over Tiktok

Onijah Robinson's dramatic journey from online romance to being stranded in Pakistan has captivated audiences.

Onijah Andrew Robinson, a 33-year-old American woman, has become the center of attention in Pakistan after traveling to Karachi in October 2024 to meet her 18-year-old online lover, Nidal Ahmed Memon. The story took a dramatic turn when it was revealed that Robinson had been using a filter to portray herself as a white blonde woman during her online conversations with Memon. Despite this deception, the two reportedly wed in an online Nikah, an Islamic marriage ceremony.

Upon arriving in Pakistan, Robinson was met with rejection from Memon's mother, who disapproved of the relationship, largely due to her age and the fact that she had catfished her son. However, Memon seemed willing to continue, possibly motivated by the prospect of obtaining a U.S. green card. His mother, however, fled their home with him, leaving Robinson stranded.

Undeterred, Robinson set up camp outside Memon’s apartment complex, quickly attracting the attention of the media and local residents. Her behavior, which included public outbursts and demands for money, rapidly turned her into a viral sensation. Social media erupted with memes and videos, with many Pakistanis both amused and bewildered by the unfolding drama.

A local humanitarian, Mr. Chippa, tried to help Robinson, but she repeatedly rebuffed his efforts. Her antics, including a bizarre McDonald's order and a failed attempt to check her into a psychiatric facility, further fueled the spectacle.

As the saga unfolded, several men from the neighborhood began proposing to Robinson, some hopeful for the possibility of moving to the U.S. She also formed unlikely friendships with local residents and policewomen, who, in accordance with Pakistan's cultural emphasis on hospitality, treated her with respect.

As of the latest updates, Robinson remains in Pakistan, where she has become an unlikely local celebrity. Videos of her interactions, including makeup sessions and rants, continue to circulate online, keeping her story alive.
