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.

Congratulations to you Njideka

She resembles her mum.

Kinda news I like to see, not the Ethiopian cell returnees kinda news

But Nigeria do this family bad. Na Chidiogo be my crush. Anyways, congratulations to you Njideka.

Brain deu follow brain she must be brilliant like her late mother

The Ibo man/woman is a very dedicated person in anything they are engaged in, their level of commitment and hard work is amazing. Yes a few scums among them sadly channel this energy to criminal ventures but it takes nothing away from the fact.
Some of the best Nigerian professionals in SIEM related fields both home and abroad are Ibo.
At University of East London we had one Ibo guy in Electrical engineering who was a ex student of UNN, dude was so good he became an assistant to his department head by year 2.

Good job.
Her knee?
Michelle's rough looking ankles?

Dora Akunyili once told us how she thought her appointment was 419 when she received the call from Obasanjo. She still did not believe Obasanjo was the one who called her. The man relied on recommendations and he didn't need to know you directly to do the job. If he wanted the best, he will get them from anywhere.

Michelle is 62 years old

Rough or dry ankles are not specific to one age group, but they most commonly start or worsen in adults over 50 due to age-related skin and structural changes. However, rough skin and calluses on the ankles and feet can develop at any age

Congrats to her

Why not just congratulate her and move on? You don't need to use this great news as an opportunity to propagate tribalism.

There are Nigerians doing well in every area of life abroad. They come from all backgrounds.

I am fortunate to know many of them here in the US, and I can confidently tell you that their distribution is not as skewed towards a tribe as you try to make it seem. I have had a non-Nigerian in-law of mine, who graduated from Harvard, tell me that most of the Nigerians he met there were Yoruba.

Trust me, there are many Nigerians doing great things abroad, regardless of their tribes. One of the most outstanding Nigerians I met during my graduate studies in the US is a Fulani guy from Katsina. He is currently doing great things in Silicon Valley.

Keep shinning,
Worth celebrating

TO the world girlie... 9ja ways

Wow ! Nice one. The “apple” doesn’t fall far from the tree. Rest on our confirmed NAFDAC boss

Congrats to her. More blessings.

Congratulations to her.

I would never forget how una tried to kpai the mother and eventually got the father.

Totally agree. Great news for once.

So much.
One of the finest women Nigeria has ever produced.
She's absolutely talented and this is great news.

The last American president!

Having a demigod of his class mention your name is next to nothing!

Congratulations to Njideka!

Yes oo. Madam rebranding herself. She gave it all for the love of Nigeria. Her type are rare.

Then President Muhammadu Buhari clan killed the Akunyili father as pay back for the role Dora Akunyili played in putting GEJ as president when the death of then president Yar'Adua was being hidden from Nigerians.

Hopefully, the Akunyili survivors are getting over the shock.

We know who did it and they are not Buhari clan. Brothers of same people tried to assassinate Dora earlier when she fought hard against their fake drug production.

She is very blunt.

Her husband was kpa!d for violating Nnamdi Kanu's Sit-at-home order.

Congratulations to Njideka Akunyili

Dora Akunyili was very horrible in my view. Had a direct experience with her and she was a nasty, mentally colonised elitist who worshipped white people.

Our best brains are running away from Nigeria...during obasanjo days once u are competent ,he will give u appointment but since APC coven came around na padi Padi padi government...giving appointment to incompetent cronies and tribesmen

The people that killed her father now will be amongst those celebrating her now.

Irony.
