It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

Everyone needs to respect Ivory Coast. This wasn’t an upset, you lot just slept on them.

I have met a lot of people that voted tinubu the last time who will be voting Peter Obi next year. I have also met a lot of first timers and people who didn’t vote last time, that will vote this time because they are voting for Peter Obi. Their reason is that tinubu has been an incompetent failure, after all his promises and shouting “Emi Lokan” in 2023 and they consider Peter Obi the best and only credible option. I haven't met any true Peter Obi supporter that is now supporting tinubu or any other candidate (this is my reality) I believe this administration hasn't lived up to the hype by its agents, supporters & ministers, but I cannot deny that it's been the worst ever we have seen till date. And anyone currently supporting them is delusional. That this administration has made propaganda and corruption their trademark is evident, in all the arms and institutions of government. Alex Otti has shown that governance is truly not rocket science, by adopting the Peter Obi model, and while tinubu has failed woefully in 3 years, Alex Otti has excelled amazingly. It is now obvious to all that Peter Obi is the only one who can turn around the fortunes of Nigeria.. There is no better option period! VOTE NDC VOTE PETER OBI & KWANKWASO NIGERIA WILL BE OK✌️

By now, you should know that a vote for Tinubu and APC is a vote for kidnappers, bandits and terrorists.

Nigeria is the only place where a politician can fail spectacularly and still have supporters explaining why the failure is actually a success. Such idiocy must end in 2027. #TinubuMustGo

Guys please, if you can support @D_goodybag financially or with materials for her PVC drive, please do. People like her who are putting in incredible work need to be supported

Do you remember this brilliant 15-year-old girl, Josie Ani from Evergreen Schools, Enugu? She met me at the South East Educators Conference while trying to sell her book titled Diary of My Ink. So far, she has made ₦970,000 in sales. She will be donating 10% of her earnings to charity and using the rest to support her NGO, where people in Enugu can exchange plastic waste for free transportation. She transformed her experiences in secondary school and life into beautiful poetry. I saw a little Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in her, and I believe we need to support her as she continues to make great strides. I have already bought my copy, and I absolutely love it. We need this book in every home and in the hands of every child. You can get your copy here pay.switchappgo.com/diaryofm… and it will be delivered to you.

Dr. Olubosede, HOD Pediatrics, State Hospital Akure. The residents reported me unnecessarily and she batted them away. One day I was so tired after a neonate kept me up all night and was dozing off during morning review. I was supposed to work that morning till 4pm but she sent me home to rest and asked another doctor to cover for me. The day I really respected her was when we failed to get IV access for one child. I tried, resident tried, consultant tried. Shishi. We sent Ambulance to her house to pick her at 2am and she came, used her left hand and got IV access on the same hand we didn’t see anything. She also got another to collect blood. Love her so much.

4 weeks later, the children kidnapped in Oyo are still not back home. This country is just one long-running series of heartbreaks

"I don't care about the time; just the win. Once I crossed the line first, I was happy about that. I am really happy for (Samuel) Ogazi, we have really come a long way." Kayinsola Ajayi after becoming 1st Nigerian athlete to win NCAA 100m title, since Divine Oduduru in 2019.

Men's 400m all-time list 🇿🇦 Wayde Van Niekerk - 43.03s (2016) 🇺🇸 Michael Johnson - 43.18s (1999) 🇺🇸 Butch Reynolds - 43.29s (1988) 🇳🇬 Samuel Ogazi - 43.38s (2026) 🆕 Ogazi's time is the fastest time ever recorded in the 400m after a decade.

Four years later, nothing's changed. The same systematic disenfranchisement. INEC actually needs to be taught a brutal lesson. They can't keep toying with our collective lives like this

🍿🇺🇸 OFFICIAL: Folarin Balogun, Man of the Match from FIFA for USMNT win over Paraguay.

A reminder that Flo Balogun would not be on the US Men's National Team if Trump's birthright citizenship order was in place when he was born in NY. The first US man to score more than one goal in a World Cup match since the very first World Cup in 1930.

The same parents who travel long distances to help/ grieve/ celebrate their friends? The ones greeting almost everyone from church to the market? They model alot about community and friendship. Alot of us think we're too good for mundane things. Let's be serious please.
