Hundreds of youths in Kano are still searching for the young lady, named Zainab, who offered to give a 2013 model of Anaconda car to any man who volunteers to marry her.
A drama began on Tuesday night when a young lady, Gift Zainab, was heard on the popular Hausa programme on a local station Freedom Radio, Kano, offering to give a car and house to any man who will volunteer to marry her.
The 22-year-old lady who is into business at a famous essential commodities market said that she was deceived and disappointed by a young man after investing hugely in his upkeep. With such offer by Zainab, youths in their hundreds trooped to the radio station, asking of her and offering themselves for marriage in order to receive the bounty by the next morning.
One of the security personnel of the Radio Station confirmed that the large number of youths that besieged the station almost overwhelmed them and that they had requested for police intervention.
The news editor of the Radio Station, Abdullateef Abubakar Jos, said the lady later arrived at the station at about 1pm when the hundreds of youths were waiting for her. He added that she came face to face with hundreds of youths who claimed to love her, and picked one of them, after which she was provided with police escort to get her out of the place safely.
As at yesterday, radio stations and opinion leaders on various platforms described the development as laughable, while some said it showed the extent of poverty among young men.
