Former Nollywood Actress Grace Charis Bassey Joins U.S. Navy, Becomes U.S. Citizen


 


Following her graduation from U.S. Navy boot camp and obtaining U.S. citizenship, former Nollywood actress Grace Charis Bassey has started a new chapter in her life. Her journey and the noteworthy shift from her acting profession to military service were highlighted in the announcement, which was made via her Instagram account. 

"First, All Glory To God," said Bassey, who is well-known for her work in the Nigerian film industry, on Instagram, expressing her deep feelings. I took the American citizenship oath and graduated from U.S. Navy boot camp last week as a Sailor.

Her statement continued, reflecting on the challenges and influences that shaped her path: "This journey wasn't easy - but I carried my roots, my faith, and my vision every step of the way." She poignantly added, "Nigeria raised me. America challenged me. I stand today stronger and more determined than ever."

"Thank you to everyone who believed in me," the actress said in appreciation of her fans. This is only the start. By dedicating her accomplishment to her late father, Bassey also shared a very personal reason for her choice: "In Honour of my Late Father - Naval CDR Asido Bassey Effah." This raises the possibility of a family tie to naval service, implying a lifelong dream or a nod to her father's legacy. 

Her decision represents a dramatic shift away from the entertainment sector and demonstrates her dedication to a new kind of service and personal development. Social media has taken notice of the story, and many people have praised her bravery and commitment in taking on this novel and difficult task.
