Nigerian Athlete Oluwabukola Pereira Shot D£ad in US Days Before MBA Graduation and Planned Wedding

Oluwabukola Pereira, a 30-year-old Nigerian athlete and postgraduate student, was reportedly shot d£ad in the United States just days before her planned MBA graduation.

Pereira lost her life on Friday, May 8, during a robbery incident at Arise Auto Center in Lockland, Ohio, where she was employed.

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office has since launched an investigation into the incident, although authorities have not officially confirmed the exact motive behind the shooting.

Speaking to local television station Marcella Porter TV, an employee at the auto shop, Don Simpson, alleged that Pereira attempted to pursue a suspect who reportedly fled with about $1,500 before she was shot.

“She was loyal, good and brave,” Mr Simpson said. “She came to this country trying to build a good life.”

Originally from Nigeria, Pereira was expected to graduate from Xavier University on Saturday, May 16, with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.

The university also revealed that she had already secured admission for another postgraduate programme in Business Analytics scheduled to begin later this year.

In a statement released by university president Colleen Hanycz, Pereira was described as someone known for her positivity, strong faith, and kind-hearted nature.

“Friends describe her as kind, honest, intelligent and beautiful — inside and out,” the statement read.

Aside from academics, Pereira was also active in sports and belonged to Cincinnati’s Elite running group, where she participated in several races, including the Flying Pig Marathon.

Her family described her as “a bright and shining star” who dedicated her life to prayer, worship, and helping others.

Pereira, who was the first of four children, was also preparing for her wedding later this year after getting engaged in 2025.

Meanwhile, police authorities have appealed to members of the public to provide any useful information that could assist ongoing investigations.

According to the sheriff’s office, the suspect is believed to be a man between the ages of 25 and 35. Investigators described him as Black or Hispanic with long braided hair or dreadlocks and said he was last seen fleeing toward the Gardner Park area.

Super Eagles AFCON 2027 Qualifiers – Group L opponents & threats 🇳🇬

CAF draw in Cairo put Nigeria with Madagascar, Tanzania, and Guinea-Bissau. Only 1 spot is available because Tanzania qualify automatically as co-hosts.

Here’s what each team brings:

1. Madagascar
FIFA Rank: 104
Threat: Counter-attack + no fear
- Beat Nigeria 2-0 at AFCON 2019
- Quarter-finalists on their AFCON debut in 2019
- Sit deep, physical, dangerous on set pieces and transitions. They don’t get intimidated by big names.

2. Tanzania
FIFA Rank: 113
Threat: Home advantage + nothing to lose
- Co-hosts, so they’re already qualified
- Gave Nigeria a tough game at AFCON 2025, lost 2-1
- Compact, disciplined, and Dar es Salaam will be hot, hostile, and slow. They’ll use these games to build momentum for 2027.

3. Guinea-Bissau
FIFA Rank: 132
Threat: Physical block + low block specialists
- Regular AFCON participants, known for disciplined, physical style
- Frustrate you, break your rhythm, and hit on the break. They’ve made a habit of troubling Nigeria in qualifiers.

Nigeria’s edge
Higher quality on paper. Eric Chelle’s 4-4-2 diamond needs to be patient and overload central areas to break low blocks.

It is rumored that Ladan Bosso has been given the nod to lead Nigeria's U-23 team.

For penalty's sake, Eric Chelle must include Iheanacho in the Unity Cup squad list.

Staph is 100% treatable with herbs.

Michael Kayode reacted about the country he could play for at the national team: “I’m happy that the Nigerian people are happy for me. The opportunity to play for both is amazing," he once said.

“I will always give priority to Italy: even at the youth level, I grew up wearing the Azzurri shirt. I hope to achieve this dream as soon as possible, but I have no doubt about which path to choose.

“Yes, we also had dinner with other Italian Premier League players. I was doing well; I felt involved even without being called up for the play-offs.

“For now, I’m only focused on qualifying for Europe with Brentford. We can aim to qualify for the cup until the end, so we don’t want to let our guard down.

“The Azzurri shirt would be a big achievement, unthinkable until a few years ago, but I’ll think about it in a few weeks.” (via Tuttosport)

Get help before it is too late.

Eric Chelle should not be coerced into including underperforming NPFL players in the team for the Unity Cup.
Many players in the diaspora can improve the team immediately.
This is the perfect time to test them and know what they can offer going forward.
We should not take our friendly match against Portugal lightly.

I hope the Squad list for the Unity Cup drops tonight.

His Naija National Teams Journey did not begin today, but since 2022, when he was appointed Match Analyst for the Super Eagles. He was supposedly 26 at the time and had a UEFA B Licence. Now he has a UEFA A Licence. Growth. ✅️
