Children of the VERY average Nigerian used to have birthday celebrations. The parents would rent canopies, cook and invite djs. There used to be parties and the entire neighborhood would gather to celebrate w the child. I don’t hear birthday music anymore. There’s nothing left
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!

"Having a record to my name, having a title to my name - it really means a lot.
I don't really care about the wind... I can do it at other competitions (break 100m African Record) like the Commonwealth Games, or the Ultimate Championships..."
Big words from Kayinsola Ajayi🙌
All Within 30 minutes I watched 3 Nigerians perform incredible athletic feats:
Folarin Bolagun scored 2 goals in the World Cup for the USA
Kanyin Sola won the NCAA 100 meter in 9.72 seconds
Samuel Ogazi won the NCAA 400M in 43.38 *4th fastest ever
That 🇳🇬 blood is DIFFERENT!!
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had nothing but praise for his teammates after this series.
“Yeah, I'm so impressed by this group. Not to make any excuses, but they're a really good team over there, and losing Ajay and Dub the way we did in the midst of the series, you'd think it'd be a lot harder for us, but those guys never got discouraged, they played their butts off, d the reason we got to this point in the series is because of them. Supporting cast was amazing this series. Hats off to them. They were big time. I wish I was a little more myself throughout the series, give them more of a boost, more of a chance, but yeah I'm nothing but proud of my guys.”
