Onijah Robinson, whose unexpected rise to fame in Pakistan led to a global deluge of TikTok videos, recently opened up about viral moments in a candid conversation with BBC Asian Network’s Haroon Rashid.

 

In the interview, Haroon revisited some of Onijah’s most talked-about clips that had taken over Pakistani social media. One of the standout moments included her now-infamous statement: "I’m not talking unless y’all giving me land and 2,000 or more every week."

 

Reacting to the clip, Onijah laughed and explained, “I want to do real estate. I want to build these houses up correctly. I had to leave the country at the time, but I’ll be back—and when I’m back, it’ll be greatness. I wanted it to look like New York… no, I’m kidding.”

 

Another viral line was her bold declaration, "I’m from Pakistan. Respect to the law, respect to Allah, and respect to God."

 

Onijah laughed again while reflecting on that moment, then shared a heartfelt message,“I got everybody to listen to what I really wanted to say for years. Stop putting yourself in situations where you feel like there’s no one there for you. We have God. This isn’t for show—this is really how I feel.”

 

Haroon also replayed the clip where she said. “It’s private, I’m Muslim, and it’s against my religion to tell you my business.”

 

Onijah doubled down on her stance, “Yes, it’s against my religion to tell you my business. They knew that. Pakistani people—I love them. They like to play a lot. That’s why they were like, ‘Okay.’”

 

When asked if reporters were taking advantage of her at the time, Onijah dismissed the idea with a smile, “No, they weren’t. They were just annoying. They love too much! When people love too much, they like to bother you, like they want to do things for you.”

 

Onijah had travelled to Karachi in October 2024 to marry Ahmed, a man she had been met online. But after his family allegedly rejected her, and her 30-day visa expired, she stayed in the country and became a viral sensation. 

 

Whether you find her chaotic or charismatic, Onijah Robinson continues to spark conversations—sometimes funny, sometimes deep—but always unforgettable.
