90 Day Fiancé: I've Changed My Mind, I Don't Think Michael Ilesanmi Should Remain In The U.S. (He Needs To Return To Nigeria Immediately)

I can give Michael Ilesanmi from 90 Day Fiancé more reasons to return to Nigeria than to stay in the United States. I was excited when Michael finally got his spousal visa after years of waiting. It had been Michael’s lifelong dream to come to the U.S. and made a promise he'd change despite his past of infidelity. However, I was surprised when Michael left Angela just two months after he moved to America. It’s like he didn’t even try and work on their relationship, which has been documented on a reality TV show for seven years!

I was sure that Michael and Angela would live together for several happy years in Georgia even though, in the back of my head, I knew he was going to dump her for a younger woman. Angela had undergone five surgeries worth thousands of dollars before Michael moved to the U.S. to keep him from straying. I should have known Michael couldn't be trusted. I hold Angela accountable for mistreating Michael, but I’ll never be able to trust Michael because of how quickly he gave up.

Michael Cheated On Angela While Waiting For His Visa

Michael Had A Secret 30-Something Woman As A Backup In America

Michael’s biggest cheating scandal came to light during Happily Ever After? season 7. Angela had insisted Michael delete his Instagram to prevent women from messaging him, but he went ahead and created a new account anyway. His justification for this was he could earn some extra money by working as an influencer in Nigeria. Angela, however, was suspicious, believing he used the account to talk to other women. To make matters worse, Michael asked Angela for $5000, claiming he would delete his Instagram account in exchange for the money.

After the incident, the couple decided to reconcile, and Michael promised to remove the Instagram profile.

Although Angela claimed to be content with Michael after returning from Nigeria, a friend later alerted her to his infidelity. The friend sent Angela screenshots of messages showing Michael conversing with a 31-year-old American woman he’d met on Instagram. They had been communicating for two months, and Angela even received a voice note in which Michael affectionately called the woman “Baby” and told her, “I love you.” Michael had been talking to this woman both while Angela was in Nigeria and after she returned to the U.S.

Michael claimed that he remained in the relationship despite Angela's frequent and intense outbursts — some of which became physical — because he believed the strain came from their long-distance situation. He thought that if they were together, the tension would ease. Michael’s visa to live in the U.S. was approved after four years. He stepped on American soil in December 2023. Michael and Angela spent the next two months traveling to places like New York and Florida and filmed the Tell All for their Happily Ever After? season 8.

It's not known if Michael had already planned to take off in February 2024 or if he hatched the plan when he filmed the Tell All, but Michael fled from Angela’s house within a few days after they returned to Georgia from New York. Michael’s plan was so elaborate his activity wasn’t caught on Angela’s home security cameras. He left while she was running errands and stayed hidden until Angela reported the matter to the police and reached out to fans on social media. Michael assured the police that he hadn’t been “missing” but left out of fear.

Michael Used Fans To Make Quick Money

Michael's Used The Money For More Than His "Legal Fees"

Michael claimed he had been treated poorly by Angela in America and made to feel like an unwanted guest. His statements helped him get the much-required sympathy from fans even though his actions suggested he had stayed with her only as long as he could get his Green Card. A Tell All episode aired where Angela’s private investigator cleared Michael’s name by claiming he couldn't find anything shady about Michael on social media. Michael used this opportunity to launch a fundraiser on GoFundMe,asking for $50,000.

"I could really use your help right now."

The amount was large, and Michael was called out. However, he quickly adjusted it to $25,000 but made over $52,000 thanks to his naive fans. Angela and her friends, such as Scott Wern and Loren Brovarnik, accused Michael of using the money to buy a fancy car. Michael has also been living in a posh Texas apartment, as seen in his TikTok videos. There has been no news about Michael having a job. It appears he’s living off fans' money, and I’m sure he might start another fundraiser once the funds run dry.

90 Day Fiancé star Angela has filed for an annulment to prove their marriage is fake. Angela is yet to prove her claims in court. However, Michael is visibly afraid his grand plan might flop if he does something illegal. In a recent YouTube video, Michael shared he received his Green Card last year, which allows him to work and pursue any opportunity he desires. He reassured his supporters that with the Green Card, he'd be fine as long as he stayed clear of "crime or anything."

90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
