Content creator and comedian Cute Abiola has recounted the difficult period he experienced while serving in the Nigerian Navy and simultaneously pursuing a career in entertainment.

In an interview with HipTV, which was shared via Instagram on Monday, the skit maker described his time in the navy as “the most challenging phase” of his life.

“I’ve done a lot of things that were more tough than my current situation. I used to be in the Nigerian navy,” he said.

“That time was the most critical part of my life, and I was still able to achieve shooting content and being in the navy. That was very, very hard.”

Despite being on duty most days of the week, Cute Abiola revealed he managed to maintain a steady content schedule.

“I used to be at work from Mondays to Saturdays most times, and all my contents still used to be out there. In a week, I used to post twice or three times,” he explained.

He added that financial goals kept him motivated to keep producing content.
“I’m a very dedicated person because I know that I’m supposed to meet a target in my revenue. I have a target for myself, and I used that to motivate myself to make more than I made the previous month.”

Born Abdulgafar Ahmad, Cute Abiola trained at the Nigerian Navy School and served in the force until 2022. He was detained in November 2021 for breaching social media regulations and was later assigned to gutter-cleaning duties within the barracks as punishment.

In November 2022, he officially exited the Navy to focus fully on his creative career.
“I was overwhelmed with regard to the approval of my exit from the Navy by the chief of naval staff so as for me to have enough time to passionately pursue my dreams,” he stated.
