Aisha Aminu resident in Zamfara state has set herself on fire because she was denied marriage to her beloved boyfriend.
Aisha told the BBC she had taken the decision because she could not tolerate it and "would have committed suicide by committing suicide".
Aisha's father Aminu Muhammad Albuhari told the BBC that the young man had wanted her for a year but God did not make taht possible.
"So we stopped him from coming to her since he had no work until God brought someone to her," Aminu muhammad said.
He added: "She loves him very much. She took this step without our knowledge, only to see it burn with fire, and the people tried to set it on fire.
"When asked what she wanted, she said that she loved him and that she should go and commit suicide instead of having the right circumstances to marry her."
Aisha also says she took this step because she loves him and he loves her too.
She said: "I took this step because I love him and since we were with him he never told me anything.
"Acaba (okada) was doing this and he thought he was out of character. I told him to go get a prostitute and just to rest myself. I just put myself on gasoline and put on a mat. "
Aisha said she felt injuries to her hands, back and stomach, and said she was sorry.
But she said she doesn't know what her favorite character is at the moment because he hasn't gone to a thousand.
