Nollywood actor Justin UG enlist in US Air Force (Photos)
Nollywood actor Justin Ugonna, popularly known as Justin UG, has announced his enlistment in the United States Air Force.
The actor disclosed this in an Instagram post on Wednesday, describing the process as a physically and mentally demanding experience.
He also shared a photograph of himself dressed in his United States Air Force uniform, officially announcing his new status as a member of the force.
“If you had told me a few years ago that I’d one day be wearing this uniform, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. This was never a path I imagined for myself, but here we are,” he wrote.
Justin said the past few weeks had been among the most challenging periods of his life, but the experience had taught him about his mental strength and ability to overcome difficulties.
“The past few weeks have been some of the most mentally and physically challenging weeks of my life. But if there’s one thing this experience has taught me, it’s just how powerful the mind really is,” he said.
He added that although he would not want to repeat the experience, he was grateful for the lessons and personal growth it brought.
“Would I want to do it all over again? Absolutely not. But I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything,” he added.
The actor concluded his post by celebrating the new chapter in his life, saying, “Officially a United States Airman.”
His announcement comes months after another Nollywood actor, Joseph Momodu, enlisted in the United States Army.
Very Nigerian had reported in June 2026 that Momodu completed Basic Combat Training and attained the rank of Specialist in the US Army.
Momodu had said his decision to join the military was a tribute to his late father, who served in the Nigeria Police Force.
