I doubt. Mostly the semi-perfection ones(females) register in security forces, so as to compensate for the beauty they don't have. These security forces rush to accept dem and offer dem other packages too. And also, you know that those not-so-good-looking-ladies are always sideline when it comes for employment to other industries(coporate, civil, entertainment, beauty/cosmetics.) The beautiful ones are mostly choosen for these particular ones. Reference: |

In Nigeria, once another President enters, they will just choose a Junior ranking officer to her to become chief of staff thereby retiring her and her course mates in one fell swoop. So much professionalism, experience and training gone to waste. Little wonder USA is always well coordinated in their military endeavors |

This woman is not Nigerian, "but an American with nigerian ancestry." This should be the best caption. Someone that didn't step her foot in nigeria or even grew-up there(nigeria environment). Is like saying that Jenifer Lopez is Spanish because of her Spanish parents, and she didn't even experience Spanish or grow-up there. Lopez is an American with Spanish ancestry. |

This is one of the reasons US is this developed. Not too long a black man was their president. So long as you're good, you can be anything no matter your background. But here we're still debating that after south it should be North- it must be Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba. Even if the person is an slowpoke, no problem so long as he's from ur tribe and religion. Imagine a man of Ghanian background wanting to be governor or chairman in Nigeria no matter how brilliant his ideas are... |

I was in Southeast for the last Christmas celebrations, and I was so proud of being Igbo. Honestly, everyone in this life, especially if you are a Nigerian of any tribe, you definitely need an Igbo close friend or in-law or business partner, there is a reason for this and I won't be revealing it, just take my advice and you will live to bless God for making that decision in life ![]() |

On the contrary, who has the record of being the first Nigerian Monarch to also become the first nigerian monarch to be king in prison in the US? |

Honestly speaking she looks more Zimbabwean than Nigeria |

Racoon:That NL opinion poll right above this thread page has absolutely NO basis here. The British-born Amanda's Nigerian-born father and Zimbabwean mother were separated (or divorced) when she was a younger girl in England and she LIVED more with her mother and then in 1989, she and her biological Zimbabwean mother migrated to the United States where she became a U.S. citizen and she has risen through the professional and U.S. Military ranks to become a Brigadier-General. The credit for her success is multidimensional and goes to her Zimbabwean mother as well as Amanda's tenacity NOT BECAUSE she has a Nigerian father alone as that insidious Vanguard newspaper headline sensationally and irresponsibly suggests. |
| Re: Meet Amanda Azubuike, 1st Nigerian Woman To Become Brigadier General In US Army by Konquest: 1:20pm On Jan 10 |
Hoodrat:Succinctly stated. I wondered too why that Vanguard newspaper Editor had to irresponsibly bring up this same stale story again on the British-born Amanda when INFACT she got promoted to a Brigadier-General back in March 2024 and it was widely reported online and offline. Again, Amanda's Military success is multidimensional and largely tied to her Zimbabwean biological mother, who was divorced from her father and whom Amanda lived with and moved to the United States with before becoming a U.S. citizen in 1989 at the age of just 20 years. Hence she's got the Zimbabwean, Nigerian, British and American influences on her life and Military career. The newspaper headline sensationally suggests that she's fully Nigerian meanwhile she has multiple influences on her life on her way to success. Nigeria has ALSO produced decades back the FIRST EVER female General in the Nigerian Army by the name of General Kale from the West of Nigeria (her brilliant biological son was the Accountant-General of Nigeria) so It's totally baseless for NL to even put up an opinion post right ABOVE asking if she would have achieved this Military position of a Brigadier-General if she was in the Nigerian Military. |

No worry, Trump would soon put an end to all this rubbish. Imagine Nigerian Black person being in American Army?? The first salvo is to block all legal ways for a Nigeria to become a US citizen, that combined with very strict VISA requirements would do the magic. ![]() All the shithole countries cannot come to our land ![]() |

ZombieDredd:Stand where she stands because she chose to enslave herself in America? Inferiority complex at its zenith. Naija is my country and am proud to be a Nigerian. I am not interested in her job. Has she ever stepped her feet in Imo state? If she has, when was that? Rubbish |

It would never have been possible in this tribalistically diseased country. The tribe where you come from are what counts not competence and hard work. |
