The actress, who was also a former Miss UNIBEN, has shared her enthusiasm for serving her adopted country.

“I love the prestige that comes with the American military,” Princess Chineke said. “As a citizen of this great country that has done so much for me, I feel it’s my turn to give back. God bless America.”

In other news, Nigerian artists 2Baba and Faze recently gained attention for a video of them singing a Plantashun Boiz classic on stage, while their fellow member Blackface was absent.
