Momodu revealed that his enlistment was inspired by a desire to honor the legacy of his late father, who served in the Nigeria Police Force. He is now serving as Specialist (SPC) J.A. Momodu in the U.S. Army.
Momodu who is known for his voice in acting wrote this on his page:
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.
I dedicate this achievement first to God Almighty for the grace to pass my ASVAB on the first attempt and successfully complete Basic Combat Training. Secondly, to my late father, whose legacy I proudly uphold. And finally, to the Royal Family of Oba Momodu II, the Avyuele Clan, Agbede, Etsako West, Edo State.
Special appreciation to @akeemogara for expertly managing my social media throughout this journey, and to the US Army Recruiting Station, Burbank, California, for making the transition seamless.
