Why I regret buying my girlfriend a Range Rover – Sabinus

Popular Nigerian comedian Sabinus, whose real name is Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, has spoken boldly about a painful relationship experience, revealing that he once gifted his lover a luxury car out of love, only for the relationship to end.

Sabinus made the revelation during a recent livestream with TikToker Sandra Benede, where he described love as “cruel” and said he deeply regrets the costly gesture.

The comedian said his experience made him sympathise with TikTok personality Peller, who has been in the public eye following his breakup with girlfriend Jarvis.

According to Sabinus, he has been in a similar emotional situation as Peller, noting that heartbreak can push people into actions they later regret. He referenced the public outbursts and reported car accident involving Peller, urging Nigerians to show empathy rather than criticism.

“Jarvis has finished Peller. I have been in Peller’s situation before. Love is cruel,” Sabinus said.

He went on to recount how he once gifted a woman a Range Rover as an expression of love, only for her to later walk away from the relationship.

“I once gifted a girl a Range Rover because of love. She later left me. I regretted it. So nobody should blame Peller,” he added.

Sabinus advised Nigerians not to be quick to judge people dealing with heartbreak, stressing that emotional pain can be overwhelming, regardless of wealth or fame.

Recall that the comedian confirmed during a TikTok livestream in December 2025 that his marriage to his wife and mother of his child, Ciana Chapman, had ended.

The couple reportedly tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2023, but the marriage lasted just over a year before it collapsed.
