@firstladyship I'm surprised most people don't understand world politics to the extent that some group of people make decisions that affects everyone. After OBJ Nigeria has had lots of issues.
Nigerian-born artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby recently created a portrait for former U.S. President Barack Obama and his wife, former First Lady Michelle Obama, at the Obama Presidential Center, and the former First Lady couldn’t hide her admiration.
Michelle Obama praised Akunyili Crosby’s artistic brilliance, saying she and her husband were honored to have her create the piece.

The Obamas unveil their first-ever commissioned portrait together, painted by Njideka Akunyili Crosby, in the lobby of the new Obama Presidential Library.
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.
