Michael Ilesanmi from 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? has no intention of moving back to Nigeria even though his marriage to Angela Deem has ended. From the beginning, Michael had a rocky relationship with Angela, but he still chose to stay with her out of love and married her in January 2020. Unfortunately, Angela never really trusted Michael. They have a 22-year age gap, and she felt that he would go behind her back and mess around with other women. Michael tried his best to make Angela believe in him, but the latter continued to doubt him.

In 2023, Michael and Angela tried therapy to fix their marital issues. They joined 90 Day: The Last Resort season 1 and reconciled as a result of the therapy. Later that year, Michael got his spousal visa approved after waiting for it for four years. By the end of 2023, he came to the United States to start a life with Angela. Unfortunately, his relationship problems only grew over time. Michael felt trapped in his marriage and left Angela three months later. While Michael claimed he fled Angela’s house due to safety concerns, she accused him of being a scammer.

Michael Has Become More Resilient Than Ever

During 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 Tell All, Michael told Angela to send him back to Nigeria. However, a few signs reveal that he will never leave the United States now that he has broken up with his wife. Michael started dating Angela in 2017. He slowly learned about all her red flags, including her short temper and disrespectful behavior. Michael had enough reasons to leave Angela within a year after meeting her. Despite that, he stayed with her and allowed her to control him. He even left his job and quit social media to please her.

Michael has faced every possible abuse a man can in his marriage. 90 Day Fiancé cast member Kobe Blaise even said that Angela abused his Nigerian friend so much that he isn’t even comparable to a fly. Michael survived six abusive years with Angela. He’s stronger than ever in 2024 and will never let his wife deport him to Nigeria. Michael has become resilient after facing so much abuse.

It doesn’t seem like Michael is scared of his wife and her antics anymore. Rather, he’s stronger, free, and more independent than ever.

Michael Proved His Innocence At The Tell All

Angela Can’t Accuse Him Of Scamming Her Anymore

It’d be hard for Angela to send Michael back to Nigeria. The latest Tell All showed host Shaun Robinson bringing Angela’s private investigator to reveal the truth. The PI revealed that he and his team researched Michael’s entire life but couldn’t find anything against him. Angela stormed out of the studio after learning the truth. She claimed she knew her husband better and continued accusing him of being a scammer. Unfortunately for Angela, fans and co-stars no longer have any reason to doubt Michael. It would be hard for Angela to prove her husband guilty.

Michael Ran A Controversial Visa WhatsApp Group

Michael Was Preparing For This Moment

Angela may think she can send Michael back to his homeland, but the latter likely came prepared to stay in the United States. In 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8, Angela discovered that her husband was running a WhatsApp group, helping Nigerian people on their journey to America. He has become familiar with different visa situations in the past year. Michael likely knows much more about the immigration process than he has let on. He is very smart and probably prepared for the worst even before he came to the United States.

Michael Ilesanmi needs time to reflect on the end of his marriage with Angela Deem before considering appearing on 90 Day: The Single Life.

Michael’s Fundraiser Has Become A Huge Success

Michael Used Fans To His Own Benefit

Michael acted like a victim in every situation. He acted innocent despite cheating on Angela multiple times, making viewers think that her abuse was worse than his infidelity.

In 2024, he has more followers than ever. Michael had so much support that he reached his fundraising goal within two days. His fans donated over $25k to help him pay for his attorney fees. It seems Michael has enough money to fight Angela legally. He can prove himself innocent in court and likely reclaim his rightful place in the United States.

Michael is Too Happy In America To Give Up Now

Michael Has Adapted Well To His New Life In America

Michael fought so hard to come to America. He looks happier than ever and seems content with his life. It doesn’t look like Michael will give up on his American dream now. He spent six abusive years with his wife and won’t let a few more legal hurdles scare him off. Even undeserving 90 Day Fiancé cast members like Mohamed Abdelhamed and Hamza Moknii have found a place for them in the United States. It seems Michael will likely do the same, regardless of what Angela says about him on social media.

Michael Has Already Become A Part Of A New Family In The U.S.

Michael Has Found A New Passion

Michael was very unhappy when he first arrived in the United States. He didn’t enjoy living with Angela or sleeping on the couch. After escaping Angela, Michael took shelter with friendly African people. He found a new family that supported and helped him find his way into the new country. Michael‘s latest social media posts highlight his new amazing life in America. He has a house, good clothes, and a healthy routine that keeps him busy.

Michael is living his American dream within his new community. He has discovered new passions, such as soccer, and loves posting about them weekly.

He has also found friends to hang out with and attend fun parties. Michael has rapidly increased his social media following as well. He has gained over 100k followers within three months of returning to Instagram, which shows that everyone wants to see him live a happy life in the United States. There is too much at stake for the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? star to give up and return to Nigeria now.
