Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th.
We can’t wait for you to visit. Go to https://t.co/swMRHuB5Y4 to learn more.
@CovenantCCentre pls could you have videos truly arranged according to the dates of the service? It's difficult to find videos (looking for this Sunday service video) and it wasn't like this years ago. We appreciate y'all 💕💕💕
Alaba Rago market was demolished between yesterday and today, and there has not been an outcry from Mutanen Arewa in Lagos that this demolition was targeted at them. No social media trend accusing the Lagos State Government of "ethnic baiting". No Presidential candidate of Northern origin stoking sentiments against Lagos and its people. Neither did the leaders of Arewa Consultative Forum or the Northern Elders Forum interfere in a purely local matter.
Rather, Mutanen Arewa and all their institutions and elders cooperated with the Lagos State Government. These are the types of good neighbours that make Nigeria a great nation and are one of the reasons I have a passionate love for Arewa.
If you look at this 1891 Lagos Census figures that I attached to this post, you will notice that Northerners constituted almost 4% of the population in Lagos for almost 150 years. Yet, they have never claimed ownership of Lagos or, dragged it with the indigenous people, or even asserted that they, above others, developed Lagos.
Yet, they are influential and have had their kith and kin in office as military dictators and elected Presidents. But despite that, they have respected themselves and their hosts and continue to add value to the Gross Domestic Product of Lagos without trying to edge out those who welcomed them with open arms.
We pray that all others in the Nigerian project will learn from the peaceful religious, social and economic coexistence between Mutanen Arewa and Lagosians.
May God bless Nigeria, and may God bless Arewa, and for the peace, progress and stability of our nation, may political and military power in Nigeria NEVER slip out of the hands of them and their Southern allies. In Yeshua's Name, I pray.

Someone gifted my parents a new house today. It’s the single greatest thing anyone will ever do for me in this lifetime. Thank you
My mother worked as a cleaner in the same school I attended so I could get an education while my dad worked as a Danfo driver/bus conductor so we could feed and survive.
My greatest joy in life is to be able to give them both the life they truly deserve❤️
I can authoritatively confirm that the US dollar is now being exchanged at a rate below N1000 at some BDCs. The measures being taken by the CBN to strengthen our Naira are definitely working. Naira will continue gaining!
@EditiEffiong I'd love to hear some Ibibio in your next movie. If you've done this already, I didn't notice so just point it out to me and I'll go rewatch whichever movie it was in.
Two technical deep dive sessions were held with the Nigerian delegation including the transition team at the World Bank Headquarters. The sessions involved discussions on the Nigerian economy, macro stability and revenues amongst other topics. #SM2023#SpringMeetings
