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.
We still need about N6m to complete the surgery funds. Please make your donations here, let's wrap it up.

I’ve been quiet… not absent.
I was building, protecting, and embracing the greatest blessing of my life.
God gave me more than I prayed for
a woman who became a mother of three, and three kings to call my own 👑👑👑
My world. My responsibility. My legacy.
Alhamdulilah! ✨
First Nigerian to take 5 amazing children from the slums to Georgia and New York where they won several medals including a Gold medal at the United Nations games chess championships.🇳🇬
For contest,
This guy had a food business in Nigeria, it’s been operational for years. Within 3 years of Tinubu, he shut down his business. He said the cost of running it is much and he’s loosing daily.
He further explained that the price for diesel to power the restaurant (since there is no light), the cost of food stuffs in market, rent and all became unbearable but he didn’t think it’s the government’s fault.
In addition, APC took over from PDP since 2015; and the past 11 years seems to be the worse years of an average Nigerian including him; but you see these 3 years of Tinubu, it’s like 60 years of suffering compressed in 3.
But Pamilerin can’t afford to speak against a Yoruba leader because he’s from the Yoruba tribe.
A proper fool if you ask me.
American companies pay well.
But the downside is that you can wake up one morning and find out you can't login to your work computer or enter the office building anymore because you have been laid off.
It's called "at-will" employment.
It means either you or your employer can end the relationship at anytime for any reason.
So, yes, the pay is higher but so is the job insecurity.
In my last role at Shell, my boss (who is German and worked in Germany) often reminded me that I earn more than him despite not only being my boss but also 20 years my senior in the company.
And each time I remind him also that it will take an act of Congress for Shell to fire him in Germany whereas Shell just needs to wake up on the wrong side of the bed in America one day and they can let me go.
High risk. High reward.
