How the Navy Shaped My Life: Cute Abiola’s Transformative Journey

Abdulgafar Abiola, better known by his stage name Cute Abiola, is an actor and comedian who has talked about his struggles juggling his creative career with his service in the Nigerian Navy.

Abiola called his time in the navy "the most critical part of my life" in a recent interview on HipTV, where he produced and released material while working six days a week.

The necessity to hit revenue targets, according to Abiola, kept him dedicated to his objectives in spite of the difficulties.

"I've done a lot of things that were tougher than my current situation," he stated. "I was in the Nigerian navy once," he continued.

"I was still able to accomplish filming material and serving in the navy throughout the most crucial period of my life. That was really, really difficult.

"I used to work Monday through Saturday most of the time, and all of my stuff was still out there. I used to post twice or three times a week.

I'm a very committed individual as I am aware that I have a revenue objective to meet. I set a goal for myself, and I utilized it as inspiration to surpass my previous month's earnings.

Although Abiola attended the Nigerian Navy training school, he eventually quit the navy in November 2022 to focus on his full-time career in entertainment.

The Chief of Naval Staff granted his leave so he could pursue his love of humor.

He added, "I was overwhelmed with regard to the chief of naval staff's approval of my exit from the Navy so that I would have enough time to passionately pursue my dreams."
