| Newly Promoted US General, Azubuike Gives Open Invitation To Nigerians, Others Willing To Join US Army | |||
| 2022-11-06 | |||
The newly designated United States Brigadier-General of Nigerian descent, Amanda Azuibike, has extended an open invitation to anyone passionate about joining the United States army to contact her. Azubuike was last week promoted from Lieutenant Colonel to Brigadier General. She was promoted to the rank at a military base in Fort Knox, Kentucky, USA in a ceremony held recently. According to the senior army officer on her official Linkedin account, there are many opportunities in the U.S army regardless of one’s occupation and profession. She added that anyone who wishes to join the force or knows anyone who wishes to should not hesitate to personally contact her. "I feel privileged to serve in USl Army Cadet Command, and contribute to our future Army leaders. We have many opportunities for those looking for a sense of purpose and service. As I found out very early in life, the Army has many opportunities, and many occupations, and we award many scholarships. PLEASE CONTACT ME if you or someone you know wants to be an Army officer. Regardless of how YOU define success, the Army can help you get there — we want to be part of your journey!" she wrote. Also speaking on her journey in the US army, Gen Azuibike said she was able to join the US military even at a time when she was not yet a citizen of the United States. She added that she feels proud of her Nigerian heritage and roots as much as she is proud of being an American. "My journey is unique, and you can learn a little about it in my ineloquent, but heartfelt speech (start at min 24:50): https://lnkd.in/g277H6Ub. And as I said in my speech... l "I joined the U.S. military before I was even a U.S. citizen, but I always knew this country was great, that it was worth fighting for, and that it is truly the land of opportunity — I am very proud of my heritage and ethnic roots, but I am equally as proud to be an American and to serve in the world’s best Army!" Amanda was born in London, United Kingdom, to Nigerian parents,

| #13 Not here Spike; accidentally thought you were at your mom's? from Lieutenant Colonel to Brigadier General Well then. Amanda has earned the Army Aviator Badge, Air Assault Badge, and Parachutist Badge. She is also a recipient of several awards and decorations, including the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal with 3 Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Achievement Medal with Silver Oak Leaf Cluster and the Joint Service Commendation Medal. Bagged. Amanda bagged her Master of Professional Studies in Public Relations and Corporate Communications from Georgetown University. Looks like she came over to fly Hueys, checked her boxes, and got into HQ and messaging. Air Assault, y'all. |

| #5 Maybe I spoke in haste. Looked like a token woke thing. But she does seem a good fit for cadet command? A long history of work in public affairs and corporate management degrees etc. Deals well with youth and may just induce black folks to try for a meaningful life in the army instead of be muscle for some blinged out shit stain. |

| #2 Ah, now we're going to get a rash of ignorant posters who up until 5 minutes ago didn't know that foreigners can join the US military. Where'd we get all those Chinese laundry men, then? Phillipine cooks assistants? |

| #1 She added that anyone who wishes to join the force or knows anyone who wishes to should not hesitate to personally contact her and send bank details with account and routing numbers. This would enable her to unfreeze the funds necessary to process induction of the aspiring soldiers, a SWIFT process that costs approximately $30,000-$80,000 (US) — fees which she will reimburse after the induction ceremony. |
