A Nigerian soldier popularly known as “Soja Boy” has taken a new direction in life after being dismissed from the Nigerian Army over a controversial video he posted on social media.

Following his exit from military service, he has now ventured into entrepreneurship with the launch of a clothing brand named “Giran Wears.” The brand is said to reflect his personal style and aims to appeal to young Nigerians with trendy and street-inspired fashion designs.

His dismissal reportedly stemmed from a video that circulated online, which the authorities considered a violation of military conduct regulations. The Nigerian Army maintains strict rules regarding the use of social media by personnel, especially when it involves content that could be seen as damaging to the institution’s image.

Despite the setback, the former soldier appears focused on rebuilding his career through fashion. Early reactions on social media show mixed responses, with some people praising his resilience and others debating the circumstances surrounding his dismissal.

With “Giran Wears,” he joins a growing number of ex-service members turning to entrepreneurship after leaving uniformed service, using creativity and personal branding to chart a new path forward.
