Nollywood actor Joseph Momodu has joined the United States Army. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.
Describing the achievement as a way of honouring his late father, Joseph revealed that he completed his basic combat training on April 12, 2026, exactly 20 years after losing his dad.
The moviestar added that the accomplishment came after weeks of demanding training and personal sacrifice.
His words, “From inception, I have always believed in achievements earned through merit, which is why I constantly push myself beyond limits.
This particular one was forged through tears, fear of failure, resilience, endless days, short nights, fatigue, rain, and the scorching sun.
There were moments of doubt and times I questioned myself, ‘who send me message sef’? But I never lost sight of the finish line.
We trained tirelessly, were broken down and rebuilt. I went to sleep a civilian and woke up a soldier.
Ten weeks of being incommunicado. Ten weeks of learning to find comfort in discomfort.
On April 12, 2026, I honored my late father in a historic way. 20 years after his passing, I picked up the baton where he left off in the Nigerian Police Force and carried it forward by getting enlisted into the United States Army.
Today, it is official: Specialist (SPC) J.A. Momodu, United States Army @usarmy, 1st Platoon, Charlie Company, 3-10, 3rd Battalion, 10th Infantry Regiment, Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.”
WOW.
