A Nigerian Army officer, Charles Nengite, a colonel, at the weekend, beat 380 other postgraduate students to the top position at the U.S. War College (USAWC), Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

The information was obtained from the college website, posted on Monday.

Mr. Nengite’s performance was the best by any foreigner in 38 years in the college, the information added.



In one of several letters conveying his choice for the various awards, the Commandant of the college, Maj.-Gen. William Rapp, described Mr. Nengite’s performance as “arguably one of the best in the international fellows programmes at the USAWC”.

Mr. Rapp also said at the graduation ceremony of the college that Nigeria should be proud of Mr. Nengite and his compatriot in the Masters of Strategic Studies class, Col. Timothy Shipi.

He said “Shipi performed brilliantly”.

The breakdown obtained from the school’s website indicated that at the graduation of the 2015 class, Col. Nengite bagged six awards for outstanding performance in different courses.

He earned the Distinguished Graduate award reserved for the top five fellows in his class of 381 and also the Commandant’s award for distinction in research.

Mr. Nengite also received the USAWC recognition award for innovation in SHARP – Sexual Harassment and Response Programme and articulated a seminal paper – “I am your friend campaign’’ – strategy under the SHARP.

SHARP is considered of significant importance to the U.S. Army.

Mr. Nengite also received the 2nd best speaker award in the speaking competition in the 2016 class made up of 302 Americans and 79 other nationals in 73 other countries.

The Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, Gen. Mark Milley, who presided over the ceremony, told the audience that graduands of the college proceeded to occupy strategic leadership positions.

The USAWC was founded in 1901 to specifically cater for the strategic leadership training needs of the U.S. military.

Some of the prominent servicemen who had gone through USAWC in the past were President Muhammadu Buhari, Collin Powell, Dwight Eisenhower, George Patton and Norman Schwarzkopf.

Keep making Nigeria proud

Keep making Nigeria proud

like you know what's on my mind

Bigots trying to determine if "Nengite" is Yoruba or Igbo.

edoyad:
He is from Nembe, Bayelsa state

Lol. E pain them. But technically he's igbo na. Since Bayelsa is just a walkable distance from Abia State. So the igbos have this one.

*modified*
Turns out some people are taking my comment too seriously. First of....I don't care what tribe he is. Whether Yoruba, Igbo, Nembe Waterside, Amadiama creek, Westeros, Dathraki or Winterfell. Success is not tribe-dependent.

Funny enough my dad is Mbaise. Mumsy is Ijaw. And I was born in Ikorodu, Lagos. Bae is Efik speaking. And my closest sidekick is a Warri niqqa.

Y'all should go get circumcised or something.

Hooah!

Old man, I think say na young boy.

Would have ordered EFCC and DSS to repatriate him to help us defeat NDA.

I know say him get amphibian training, unlike those kunu drinking ones we get her....

Kudos to him. Keep roaring.....

The West has imperialised us from every corner. God help us

All the best my brother in the army

If Nigerian government knows what they are doing?
This man should be made a general
Or else those fat and incompetent Buffoons will frustrate him out of the service.
Because of his competence, they will be afraid of him and according to the unwritten law, these people kill what they are afraid of.

At the moment, all we need to do is to strive for the best in this country. There are very few people up there. Nepotism cannot even work because you can't give out what you don't have.

Kudos to him.

Nigerians making us proud since 1900

HassanTewogbade:
We yoruba muslims in collaboration with fulani in Army will ensure that Nengite from Bayelsa is kicked out from the nigeria army. We don't want intelligent southern christian army officers. We want quota system fulani generals and officers so that we can consolidate our Islamic grip on the nigeria army.

Nengite is joining GEJ in otueke when he comes insha Allahu. The Army belongs to we muslims!
