Gbajabiamila, who is a former Speaker of the House of
Representatives, disclosed that his inability to join the Nigerian Army pushed
him into becoming what he termed a “bloody lawyer.”

In a video of him addressing some soldiers, the CoS to the
president described the military as an inspiration to Nigerians.

He said: “Honestly, my height, my weight, my strength,
everything disqualified me.

“Every time I attempted, I looked at the person to my right
who is also attempting and the person to my right who also came for the
interview, nobody needed to tell me to go home.

“I admire you guys so much and it’s one of the things I
aspire to, so you are an inspiration to people like us.

“It was when I could not join the military that I went and
became a bloody lawyer, God bless you.”
