A woman who went on radio to appeal for a
husband in the northern Nigerian city of Kano
has found a suitor, journalist Nasiru Zango has
told the BBC.

Mr Zango, who works at Freedom Radio, said
Zainab Abdulmalik, 22, made the appeal on
Tuesday, asking prospective husbands to come
to the station the next day.

Hundreds of men turned up, lured by her promise to give the one she chose a car and house, Mr
Zango said.

Many Nigerians are poor and unemployed.
Young men flocked to the station's offices and
staff had to call in the police who whisked Ms
Abdulmalik away, Mr Zango said.

But not before she had made her choice. The details of the man have not been released.

Ms Abdulmalik, a successful market trader, told
Nigeria's Daily Trust paper that she resorted to
this unusual method of finding a husband
because "I invested about five million naira
($25,000; £15,800) on my lover but he jilted me,
after all I have done for him".

BBC Hausa's Jimeh Saleh says it is unheard of
for a woman to find a husband in this way in
Nigeria.

The most common method of finding a spouse in the mainly Muslim city of Kano is through
arranged marriages, or marrying a relative,
although this is changing now, he says.
