On Thursday, the Nigeria Air Force announced the death of five crew members that were onboard the military helicopter that went missing in Borno state on January 2nd during a fight with Boko Haram members in Damasak.
A statement by the Director of Public Relations and Information Nigerian Air Force, Ibukun Daramola confirms that Flight Lieutenant, Perowei Jacob was the Pilot in Command when the helicopter crashed.
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'.
He said rather than dampen the morale of troops fighting insurgency in the North-east, the unfortunate development would rather bolster their resolve to completely eliminate all evildoers within the shortest possible time.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.
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'.

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

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).''

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.
The 26-year-old entertainer and 36-year-old actress stepped out on Sunday (December 2) in Jodhpur, India after their two weddings this weekend!
The couple wed on Saturday (December 1) in their first ceremony, and then said “I do” for a second time in a Hindu ceremony.
Congrats again to the happy couple on the amazing news!
Rumours had been circulating on social media for months that Mr Buhari had died last year and was replaced by a lookalike from Sudan called Jubril.
“The ignorant rumours are not surprising — when I was away on medical vacation last year a lot of people hoped I was dead,” Mr Buhari said.“I can assure you all that this is the real me. Later this month I will celebrate my 76th birthday. And I’m still going strong!” Mr Buhari told Nigerians in a town hall session in Poland, where he was attending a conference.“One of the questions that came up today in my meeting with Nigerians in Poland was on the issue of whether I‘ve been cloned or not.
However just like Washington Post, Yahoo also suggested that President Buhari’s statement which denied the rumour is just what a clone will say.
Jaden Smith splashed the cash, or at least pretended to, on a shopping spree in Louis Vuitton this week. The 20-year-old singer was spotted filming a new music video on the streets of Soho, New York City on Monday and was joined by a mystery young lady.
After returning from a trip to Paris, Jaden got straight back to work and shut down part of the street to shoot the visuals for a track off his latest record, Sunset Tapes: A Cool Tape Story.
Alongside the young lady, who was sporting an epic afro, the musician went on a splurge in Louis Vuitton where he was seen giving her multiple shoes to try on.
It seems no expenses were spared as Jaden left the store with several large Louis Vuitton bags and, even better, he carried the bags for his mystery woman. Lucky lady. Before their extravagant shopping trip, Jaden and his friend were seen chatting on a stoop and it looks as though he full of banter as she was seen laughing hysterically.
Later on the shoot, Jaden was seen showing off his footwork on a skateboard and was given tips by Jake Phelps, editor of skateboarding magazine The Thrasher.
Jaden had a fanboy moment as he took a selfie with the longtime editor and tweeted: ‘Best moment of life.’
Just hours after the video shoot, Jaden released the visuals for his latest single Goku, which were inspired by Dragon Ball Z and show the singer using his powers in Tokyo’s Akihabara District.
Last week, Jaden was pictured enjoying what appeared to be a romantic trip in Paris alongside another mystery woman. The pair were seen on a late night date, which saw Jaden present his love interest with a red rose and teach her how to skateboard.
There’s still no clarification on Jaden’s comments last month when he described rapper Tyler, the Creator as his ‘boyfriend’.
Cardi B was seriously hard at twerk on Monday while she was due in court in New York.
The rapper was snapped filming a music video over a thousand miles away in Miami, where she writhed around in tiger body paint to capture some wet and wild scenes for new single, Twerk.
However, Cardi’s hard day’s graft with collaborators the City Girls could be costly after she was allegedly slapped with a serious court warning for not showing up to her assault hearing that day.
![EXCLUSIVE: Rapper Cardi B. wears tiger body paint as she twerks on a sandbar during a video shoot in Miami. Cardi and fellow rappers known as City Girls were all dressed in barely there body paint looks and were seen twerking and riding jet skis during the shoot. The shoot was even complete with a floating stripper pole full off dancers. Earlier in the day, it was reported that Cardi had failed to show up for a court appearance in New York. 03 Dec 2018 Pictured: Cardi B.

Pictures now show Cardi grinning enthusiastically on the coast of Miami as she set to work on a stripper pole, which seemed to have been erected on a sand bank in the middle of the sea especially for the video shoot.
The rapper, who gave birth to her first child only five months ago, looked beyond confident in an orange bikini, which was cleverly disguised by her black tiger stripes.
Her bum had been painted with the face of a tiger, with eyes on her back and whiskers on her cheeks.

She was there to work with the City Girls, who conversely dressed as zebras, which could explain why the musician’s defence team were apparently ‘struggling’ to get a hold of her directly on Monday.
According to TMZ, Cardi was due to appear in criminal court the same day, faced with charges of assault and reckless endangerment in connection with a fight at a strip club in August
We've all suffered from an awkward wardrobe malfunction or two. Your tights might rip at the beginning of the day and you have to walk around the office all day with holes going up your leg.
Once, my friends bra strap broke and she had to go around with one boob held firmly in and the other, well... not.

However, we're not the only ones to suffer from wardrobe malfunctions... and Kim Kardashian proved that last night.
As far as malfunctions go, it wasn't the worst (remember when Meghan Markle left the tag on her dress during the royal engagement), but honestly, if it happened to us we'd be pretty embarrassed.
Kim and husband Kanye West were guests at The Cher Show on Broadway last night, and while Kim was posing for photos, one of her boobs slipped out.
Now, it wasn't a pure nip slip and she saved herself by fixing it as soon as it slipped.
She did look stunning though, and while we wouldn't choose the silver shredded gown that she did, she pulled it off nonetheless.
Kanye West has apologised for using his phone during Cher's Broadway show.
The 41-year-old star and his wife Kim Kardashian West were in attendance for the official opening of 'The Cher Show' - a musical based on the 'Believe' hitmaker - at the Neil Simon Theatre on Monday (03.12.18) but he was publicly blasted for his manners on social media.
Jarrod Spector - who plays Sonny Bono in the production - tweeted: ''Hey @kanyewest so cool that you're here at @TheCherShow!
''If you look up from your cell phone you'll see we're doing a show up here. It's opening night. Kind of a big deal for us. Thanks so much.''
Kanye took the criticism in his stride, and praised the show as he apologised for his ''lack of etiquette''.
He replied: ''The dynamics of Cher and Sonny's relationship made Kim and I grab each other's hand and sing 'I got you babe' please pardon my lack of etiquette.
''We have so much appreciation for the energy you guys put into making this master piece.''
Meanwhile, Kanye's response comes after it was reported that Kim, 38, accepted the private flight the couple - who have kids North, five, Saint, two, and ten-month-old Chicago together - recently took to Japan was ''unnecessary''.
A source shared: ''He feels very inspired and creative at the moment, so she wants to be supportive.
''She is aware of the 747 backlash - it wasn't her idea. And again, she is trying to be supportive of Kanye.''
Although Kim acknowledges that the extravagance was ''unnecessary'', she doesn't have any intention of saying sorry.
In fact, the brunette beauty - who has been married to Kanye since 2014 - ''doesn't expect other people to understand'' their lifestyle.
The source said: ''She realises it's seen as something unnecessary and extravagant, but she isn't making any excuses. They have a different lifestyle and she doesn't expect other people to understand.''
The FIFA Referees Committee has selected 27 referees and 48 assistant referees representing 42 different countries to officiate at the next year FIFA Women's World Cup France 2019 with no Nigerian match official making the list.
However, seven match officials from Africa will officiate in the tournament, according to a statement on FIFA's official website.
Ethiopia's Lidya Tafesse Abebe, Zambia's Gladys Lengwe and Rwandan Mukansanga Salima are the selected referees from Africa, while Bernadettar Kwimbira (Malawi), Mary Njoroge (Kenya), Lidwine Rakotozafinoro (Madagascar) and Victoire Queency are the shortlisted assistant referees.
The journey to the FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 began for an initial group of female referees and assistant referees from all over the world in September 2015, when FIFA officially started its Road to France 2019 women's refereeing project.
Nigeria, who are the African champions, south Africa and Cameroon are the three African nations that qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2019.
FIFA had earlier omitted Nigerian referees and assistant referees from the selected 36 referees and 63 assistant referees that officiated at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, so also the 15 referees and 30 assistant referees that handled FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup recently held in France.
As part of this project, preparatory seminars have taken place over the last three years for referees and assistant referees, focusing on protecting players and the image of the game, as well as on consistency in interpreting the Laws of the Game. Technical expertise, football understanding, fitness and the ability to read the game and teams' tactical approaches to each match have been the main topics covered at these seminars.
The referees selected for the next FIFA Women's World Cup™, the most important competition in women's sport, have demonstrated their skills at previous tournaments, including the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Jordan 2016 and Uruguay 2018, as well as the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Papua New Guinea in 2016 and this summer in Brittany, France.
Preparation will continue for the selected match officials between now and the start of France 2019. There will be a number of further preparatory seminars, while the FIFA referee instructors will carry out observation work and provide ongoing support and guidance. Every effort is being made to ensure that the officials will be 100 per cent ready for the big occasion.
The FIFA Women's World Cup France 2019 will be played from 7 June to 7 July in Grenoble, Le Havre, Lyon, Montpellier, Nice, Paris, Reims, Rennes and Valenciennes. The final will take place in Lyon on Sunday, 7 July 2019.
