In all the crying about Obi, remember politicians only devote resources & time to attack credible threats to power
You don't see the same people who spend energy daily telling you how inadequate Obi is talk about Sowore - They attack Obi because he is strong not weak
Every day for the rest of June, we’re revisiting the issues Nigerians debated in newspapers and magazines this month around 60 years ago.
Today, we travel back to June 1971, when Nafiu opposed the suggestion of a one-party state in Nigeria.
Michelle Obama: Not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you… the claims that a U.S. Senator and constitutional law expert wasn't qualified for the job. The lies about your birthright, your faith, your patriotism, the outrage when you stated the biological fact that if you'd had a son that he too would be black, yet you were unflappable at every turn, always focused.
President Obama has a unique way of ROASTING Donald Trump without mentioning him by name, and it drives Trump nuts.
He just did it again, this time in front of every living president.
Watch this. 🔥
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
We're not crying, you are.🥹
Michelle Obama stepped to that podium and gave her husband every single flower he deserved. She spoke directly to Barack and brought him to tears.
This is what love and legacy look like. 🖤
All this one-sided interrogation of Obi is nonsense
& the reason is simple: All elections are a simple binary choice - Is the guy in power better than the alternative or is the alternative better than the guy in power
All else is useless noise designed to obscure this choice
"Sorry, you're David, right? From SBS. I grew up watching you!"
😍 A heartwarming moment as Awer Mabil paused his press conference to thank David Basheer and reflect on the impact that SBS had on his journey.

A young Nigerian harboring these thoughts is why Nigerian party politics is a huge mess.
If you can’t play by the rules in a party primary, you’re going to be far worse in the General Elections.
“Politics is the process by which a society chooses the rules that will govern it.”
“…..when all routes to wealth formation and class attainment pass through political power and the state, it is difficult to conduct competitive elections by democratic rules of the game.”
Niggas want intellectual solutions to basic fucking problems. Brother our number 1 problem is that your politicians can’t fathom the political will to do their jobs. They spend little time thinking about your country and most time about stealing and baddies
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!
