Hooah! I shared her story with my granddaughters who lost their mom in a traffic accident. It doesn't matter where we start - it matters where we end up. She's reached a level I used to dream of when I served. God bless her!
Navy veteran here. I thought there were no khaki uniforms anymore in the Army and that dress uniforms were blue pants and dark blue jacket?
This IS the beauty of the United States
This one of the reasons why America is the greatest country in the world. Show me in how many countries in the world you can see that of thing happen. Not many. Congratulations General.
There’s many other cultures that are like this I have these types of people that achieve I’ve seen it I’ve lived there
Interesting. You are claiming that this is all down to the USA. She was born and raised in the UK. Our PM is from immigrant parents. I love the USA but no, sorry, you are not the only country this can happen in.
@@ianearl3407 what other countries have a Black woman as a General in their Armies? Russia? China? Great Britain? Go ahead i am waiting.
@@tj-kv6vr Idiotic comparision. The US Army is over a million strong, how big is the British Army? To claim it can only happen in the USA is a joke, like no other western army has black or migrants serving. This is EXACTLY why the world thinks some Americans can be arrogant and ignorant. As stated above, we have a migrant PM in the UK do you?
❤ thanks U s a🇿🇲
Congratulations General,the Nigerian community is proud of you
Interesting 🤨
The Nigerian community that know where they come from are not proud of the enemy that destroyed so much of our continent.
@@masterlightjames950your enemy is within you.Politicians sellouts
@@claudiolombene3018 the people are the real sellouts, not politicians. It's the people who inspire such behaviour in politicians.
@@masterlightjames950you mean your own people??
A General and has an emergency physician as a blood sister!! Two amazing women. Hardwork works!!
Lol what blood did they shed?
She said blood sister, meaning biological sister. No one said they shed nor should You Deny the general if that was said. She might have shed blood and probably have shed blood for her country considering her Rank and length of service to achieve that. In addition the US military was fighting many theatres during her service time not to forget she was an aviation officer before this post.
@@TheAdamfatherofall 👍
@@emeksb4823 what blood did she shed?
That is America 🇺🇸 an extremely great country with great opportunities. Alluta continua!!!
I m a combat vet. from Puerto Rico and seen this video gave a real feel of admiration toward her. Brig. General Amanda Azuibuike,is an intelligent,strong and humble woman. A general, a leader, a soldier...and a great human being.THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE GENERAL!!
Yes.
DEI, didn’t earn it
I am so proud of Brig General Amanda Azuibuike. She is truly a powerful role model for women in the US army from minority backgrounds.
Oke❤nav
Congratulations Mrs. Azubuike, I you are making your Zimbabwean and Nigerian family proud.
Forgot america

SOMAALIA GIRL GOOD JOBB
Hooah General! I'm very proud of you. I'm glad you are an inspiration for future generations. It also takes someone that cares. It shows that if you are a caring human being you can achieve and help others. So glad you are with us!
Only in the USA 🇺🇸 Land of opportunities and equality thanks you for making the dream come true for so many 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💪🏻🇺🇸
As an African immigrant myself and O3 officer in the US Navy , I must reiterate this again: America is the land of opportunity especially for those that are born here. Even for the immigrants it is. So, let’s encourage our kids to change the narrative for us. Thank you for inspiring us General. The whole of Africa is proud of you.
Brig. Gen. Amanda Azubuike was one of my military mentors when I served. She continues to be the acme of success!!!
Hello
Amazing soldier, person, and leader. I served with her a couple times over my career…much continued growth and success!!
A big congrat to you Gen and Thank you united state for giving opportunity to people like Gen Azurbike. I hope Nigeria 🇳🇬 can learn this system of doing things

We do have female generals ....I served in the Nigerian army
She’s a Biafra
BIAFRA indeed ❤
Thank You General Amanda for making us proud. All Nigerians are proud of you. 👏
What an amazing story...what an amazing human being! This story brought a couple of tears to my eyes. This is what makes America the land of opportunity and an amazing nation. God's blessings, General Azubuike (from a retired Navy Chaplain)!
Azu = Back
bu = is
Ike = strength
Azubuike means: Ur past experiences is ur strength.
So proud of u sister. May God continue to increase you.
ROTC is a blessing in disguise, my class mates and I talk about how we learned more about leadership/management in and thru our ROTC classes than we actually got out of College. -
We know that General Azubuike had to be the very BEST of the best to get where she's at.
This is awesome! This lowly former specialist salutes you, general! Hooah!
Your story is very inspiring considering l hardly see Zimbabweans in the US Military. Thank you for your service, General. I myself was born in Zimbabwe and high-ranking NCO in the US Army.
Zimbabweans do other better jobs than the military in the USA.
@@victortakunda5443What "better jobs" she's not a soldier she's a general, a high ranking officer. In the most powerful military in the world and most advanced in the history of humanity. Thats a huge accoplishment.
US Defense forces are also a world leader in research and technology, they helped pioneer the internet, digital cameras, GPS, microwave oven, virtual reality (VR) and many other revolutionary technologies.
Thanks to your Zimbabwean mum who was a nurse and migrated to the USA, you ended up being a general in the USA army. Zimbabwe is proud of you and your mum.
The value of education is ingrained in most Zimbabweans🇿🇼 ❤
Your story made me cry. Congratulations, General!
As a vet I am so very proud of your promotion to General. Great job, go Army.😊
OUTSTANDING Amanda !
We miss you in Atlanta !
Wow... This young lady is wonderful...!!
Kudos General Azubuike(The back is strength)..a proud Igbo daughter/woman/soldier from Nigeria 🇳🇬.

Thank you ma’am. You are a trail blazer and a worthy example. Your story is one of the reasons I am choosing to stay in our nation’s color against all odds. Whenever I see you i am just gone salute you and say “kedu”. Proudly 🇳🇬🇺🇸

Congratulations!!! Hard work pays off.
Thank you for being the tip of the spear representing our beautiful United United States of America wherever you might go be safe General
This really inspired me. Thanks for sharing. I remember my days in ROTC Falcon Batallion, Raleigh, NC. I had an opportunity to join the mainstream, but I wanted to return home and build my own country. Sometimes, I wonder, looking back, if I should have traveled back home. But hey, I am still serving humanity.
Impressive soldier! Congratulations!
She and her family are incredible! Wow!
Congratulations General Azubuike. I am so proud of you!

Amazing, what a badass and so inspiring. Knowing we have leadership of this quality makes me feel better about the world. “A great leader doesn't seek to lead. They are called to it. And they answer."

Wow. So proud of you Amanda. Glad to have gotten to meet you in person during my Army career. Keep blazing the trail. Btw, I was a 1994 Army flight school grad as well. I think that is when I first met you. If memory serves you were a class or two ahead of me.
Above the Best!

Wow Big Congrats to her!
Congratulations 🎊🎈🎉
Love how black people outside of the continent are so proud of their African ancestry
Maybe they don't know about all the slave selling and human sacrifice? Maybe they weren't victims of it?
I salute Brigadier General Azuibuike and her family.
Hooaaah! I am a Combat Medic(91 Bravo) vet, my basics was in Ft. Leonardwood(A3-3) I preached in the Brigade Chapel there also. But I was so inspired to see this report, Special Forces leads the way!

Holy cow….!!!!!! Congratulations on such an amazing career Ma’am. I know you won’t remember me, but you were my Company Commander at Ft Jackson in 2002. I was an Infantryman who had just PCS’d to Jackson from Fort Bragg and I was assigned to your company and then over to Range Control, before being selected to Drill Sergeant School. You look 100% the exact same today as you did in 2002!
