Sadly, Pereowei Jacob just got married on the 8th of December, 2018 and died on the 2nd of January 2019, leaving his young, beautiful wife a widow after three weeks and two days of marital bliss.

President Buhari in his condolence message said 'it was sad that the fine officers and men lost their lives in the bid to guarantee the safety and protection of their countrymen'.

To the families and relations of the dead, President Buhari condoles with them, noting that the dead officers and men were heroes, who paid the supreme price for peace to reign in the country.

'I am depressed' - Nigerian Naval officer cum comedian cries for help!

by , in
A Nigerian Instagram comedian popularly known as 'Ankara Gucci' who joined the Nigerian Navy in 2018 has cried out saying he's depressed.

According to him, 'I'm in serious pain. And I am in a great fear because I am not able to focus on my comedy career like before. I am typing this with tears and a lot of depression'.

See his story below....

Hello everybody. I need to talk to all of you. No much introduction. You all that are following me knows me already! What I love doing is comedy and to always make you laugh. You all know that. I never want to type this but I can’t just hold it anymore.
I'm in serious pain. And I am in a great fear because I am not able to focus on my comedy career like before. I am typing this with tears and a lot of depression. If not everybody. I know that some of you knows that I am a NIGERIA NAVY PERSONAL. but before I joined this job, I did not think so deep and I was carried away because of some lies I was told.
Let me keep that for now! I thought as I joined the job I would get more peace but not knowing that I actually sold my peace away. I thought I would be able to do my comedy and acting together with the navy job but it’s not just easy to cope with both. I joined this NAVY on the 7th of March 2018 if you remember very well and I come back to you guys on the 8th of September after I finished my 6month malicious training.
Those that knew me as a celebrity on the training ground those days called me a fool and told me I did not plan well before joining. I was just so depressed those days. And I moved on with faith. Because I just wanted to finished the training and know what next if I would be able to cope with my acting career and the navy. To say the fact . This job has given me a lot of respect but all the same. You guys don’t know wat I am feeling.
Let me tell you the truth. Not that I have the time. Some times I would just sneak out of my office and change up to do videos for you my fans just to remain consistent and never to make you forget Your ANKARAGUCCI. So these days, a captain in the Navy threatens me a lot and told me to pick one. Am I choosing navy or entertainment? That if I am to do the navy Job I must leave acting or else ........... or else what please? for what ? For crying out loud.
I can’t leave this comedy alone. It’s what I have passion for. I have a lot of advert skit now that I never shoot and I lost my Samsung s7 edge last week. I also lost my 31 skits on it .just need to get a solution ASAP. I am not an happy man

Cardi B Receives Apology

by , in

Cardi B has received an apology from Offset's alleged mistress.
The 'Bodak Yellow' hitmaker revealed on Wednesday (05.12.18) she and her husband had split after a year of marriage because they have ''grown out of love'', and shortly afterwards, numerous screenshots of texts and direct messages between the Migos rapper and models Summer Bunni and Cuban Doll in which he tried to arrange a threesome were leaked online.
And now Summer has said she is ''very sorry'' for any part she had to play in the split and insisted she never wanted to ''break up'' a family.
In a video she sent to TMZ, she said: ''No, I have not spoken to Cardi B, but I would like to her know that I'm a very genuine person and I'm not here to break up her family or mess up what she has going on with her husband.
''I'm very sorry that this has happened and I'm very sorry that I didn't think about my worth as a young lady, and I just hope that she can overcome this.
''I know that her and Offset do have love for each other -- I can tell -- so I just hope that with this she can just focus on her love for Offset.''
Summer admitted she feels ''ashamed'' of herself but insisted she hadn't ''messed with'' Offset since he and Cardi welcomed their daughter Kulture into the world in July.
She said: ''I have not messed with Offset since he's had his baby. I didn't know how serious this marriage was.
''A lot of girls would just deal with this situation and just be like, 'yo, I'm the reason they're getting a divorce.'
''I feel ashamed. It's a lot, but just coming from me and to Cardi B and to our fans, to her family to her situation, these were never my intentions and I never wanted to break up a happy home.''
The model also shared a note in Instagram, in which she admitted she had been ''wrong'' and had ''failed''.
She wrote: ''Goodmorning, a quick letter to the fans, followers and social media outlets.
''During this last 48 hours, I haven't enjoyed the social media frenzy. not only is it draining but humbling. I will always be woman enough to admit when I'm wrong, and in this situation I was.
''Seeing another woman's pain does not bring me any joy, nor do I think it's funny. I've always been for women supporting each other but in this situation, not only myself but others have failed. I separated myself from certain situations and people for a reason.
''This is not a letter for sympathy but acknowledgment to everyone whom as questions. Going into 2019 focused and dedicated to becoming a better me. Thank y'all - summer.(sic)''
Cuban Doll briefly referenced the scandal on her own Instagram page, asking for people to be nicer to Summer.
She wrote: ''Nobody broke nobody up. That s**t is OLD news. Y'all JUST finding out (sic).''
Offset and Cardi have yet to comment on the screenshots

Cardi B Announces She and Migos' Offset Have Split, 'We're Not Together Anymore' VIDEO

Cardi B just made a stunning confession -- telling her fans she and husband Offset have split -- just months after the couple had a child together.

Cardi announced she and the Migos rapper have been trying to work things out for a long time together, and it's nobody's fault but they've decided to call it quits. In a video Tuesday night, she said the two remain good friends and business partners ... but they are no longer in love.

Offset was quick to comment on the post, saying, "Y'all won" leaving many to believe maybe the announcement is just a prank he's in on ... but Cardi seems dead serious in her video.

TMZ broke the story ... the couple got married in a private ceremony in their Atlanta bedroom in September of 2017. In her video -- titled, "There you go ... peace and love" -- she mentions a divorce might take some time ... but they simply, "grew out of love."

Cardi gave birth to the couple's daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus in July.
