@Uzodaniel1 @firstladyship I digress: Oshiomle is one of the individuals that single handedly ensured the monetization of our elections by astronomically raising the cost of Nomination and Expression of Interest forms when he was APC chairman in 2018. I bought the form for APC and won the primaries in 2018

@Uzodaniel1 @firstladyship 😥 When I see people try to whitewash Abacha, I laugh. That man and his family were pathologically thieving, corrupt humans, Abacha was a wicked leader. The poverty experienced was insane. My father was a pensioner for the federal government, pensioners were paid maybe

@Uzodaniel1 @firstladyship I experienced it in my life. I saw our OBJ came in and started introducing economic reforms. Adams Oshiomole was the then NLC president, and he regularly called for protests and tried to frustrate the economic policy especially the deregulation. (He has done exactly opposite)

[Mamchika Atta @Mamchika]

@Uzodaniel1 @firstladyship I saw how my father continued to depreciate, our family disorganized because of the force of poverty. We thank God that Abdulsalm allowed the democratic transition to take place which brought in OBJ. I was an avid daily reader of newspapers and international new magazines (Time)

@Uzodaniel1 @firstladyship 2 times in a 12 calendar year. People were dying like flies out of poverty. The few people who had cars sold them and bought motorcycle to use in doing okaka, Teachers and Govt workers. Then suddenly, he died and Abulsam took over and continued to unleash the poverty

@OurFavOnlineDoc Nigeria is about to enter a phase of rapid development and prosperity. Be vigilant, be positive, have faith, be hopeful.

The video with @schoolofhardknocks is out and it’s gone viral. None of it was planned. I invited James to the Aruwa office to meet him and learn how he’s built his business. We took a picture, he left but then: he came back and wanted to film. Tomorrow morning.

@Officialtunech2 This gives me Biblical Tower of Babel vibes. #AI

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.

In 1999, a 16-year-old girl from Enugu, Nigeria won a green card lottery with her mother and moved to the United States.

27 years later, she painted the Obamas. The green card lottery. Think about that.

Her name is Njideka Akunyili Crosby.

Her mother, Dora Akunyili, was a professor of pharmacology who would later become one of Nigeria's most celebrated public servants, the woman who went to war against counterfeit drugs as NAFDAC Director General.

But in the late 1990s, Dora was just a mother who wanted her children to have options.

She entered the US Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.

The lottery.

She won.

In 1999, 16-year-old Njideka packed her things. Said goodbye to Enugu, to Lagos, to the life she'd always known.

She moved to America with her sister Ijeoma.

She took a gap year.

Studied for her SATs.

Took American history classes.

Then returned to Nigeria for National Youth Service.

Then came back to the US to start again.

She took her first oil painting class at a community college in Philadelphia.

Her teacher Jeff Reed saw something. He pushed her to apply to Swarthmore College.

She got in.

She studied biology and art.

She met a Texan named Justin Crosby and eventually married him.

She went to Yale for her MFA.

She built a career that redefined contemporary art.

And on June 14, 2026, 27 years after that green card lottery win, she stood in Chicago and watched Barack and Michelle Obama see their faces in her painting for the very first time.

A lottery ticket. A Philadelphia community college. The Obama Presidential Center.

Nigeria does not produce ordinary people.

@Jason2bartlett @TaraBull It's such a lovely country and the people black, white are super kind and nice. I hope we can replicate this in Africa. We can, we must!

@OverdozeOnDEEZ I just love Amerricans.

[Mamchika Atta @Mamchika]

@alexottiofr @derick_ebuka It's so shocking that I was emotional reading this post. Greatness for a nation comes when we as individuals decide to do great things in our conner, in the small tiny portion of this country that has been allocated to us through public service, business and as individuals.

[Mamchika Atta @Mamchika]

Awesome and commendable. I pray for more of this type of initiatives and more importantly for the businesses to grow and bear fruits. #Nigeria rising, #Africa rising.

I think the rapid increase in electricity development in China is connected to them embracing renewable energy early on. They are now the global leader in this aspect.

[World of Statistics @stats_feed]

🇨🇳 China now generates 40% more electricity than the US and EU combined.
