Nigerian man retires from US Army
In another news report, a Nigerian man named Akinola Oladipo has retired from the United States (US) Army after 24 years of active service.
The soldier who retired as an Infantry Senior Sergeant in a LinkedIn post chronicled his journey from Nigeria to the United States when he first arrived in America as a young man on July 7, 1997.
Upon arrival in the States, Oladipo “worked briefly with FEDEX and almost immediately joined the best Army in the world.”
According to him, the plan was “to do 4years, earn money for College, then go back and finished his education.”
However, after 4 years, he decided to extend his service in the US Army for another 20 years.
While in active service, Oladipo underwent six tours. They listed them as Bosnia (1), Kuwait (1), Iraq (3), and Afghanistan (1).
