Nollywood Celebrates Joseph Momodu’s Commissioning as US Army Specialist
Nollywood colleagues have flooded the comment section to congratulate Joseph Momodu after he completed Basic Combat Training and officially joined the United States Army. Momodu shared how his journey—from rigorous drills under the scorching sun to long, sleepless nights—was fuelled by merit and resilience. He honoured his late father, a former Nigerian Police Officer, by picking up the baton and becoming Specialist J.A. Momodu at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. He dedicated the achievement to God, his late father, and his royal lineage in Edo State. He also thanked those who supported him along the way, including his social media manager and the US Army recruiting team. This milestone follows actress Belinda Effah’s recent switch from Nollywood to the US Navy, highlighting a growing trend of Nigerian stars pursuing military careers abroad.
