Buhari's portrait will be drawn with blood.

Don't you think if Obama had done very well it would have bn a smooth ride into the white house for Hillary Clinton? The same way you are applauding Obama from a distance but hated by some Americans is the same way part of the outside world sees buhari as a good guy. Until you are under a govt in that country, you wouldn't know what the average citizen is going through.

Honestly, Barack's portrait it's not done to me but Mitchell's portrait is beautiful and classy.



I think Amy Sherald was looking at Tiwa Savage when she was painting Michele Obama or it could that the wrong portrait was unveiled. Obama and Michelle should’ve complained.

Are you saying Mitchell is not fine like that? undecided
Anyway, Tiwa is better looking than that portrait.

His father is Nigerian. He did not grow up with his father or grow up in Nigeria. Stop claiming he’s a Nigerian abeg.
And that is your problem? Or it is because Kehinde is not a name from your tribe?

If I saw that portrait elsewhere, I’ll never know it was the painting of Michelle Obama. It doesn’t look like her in anyway.

Just listen to yourself, "His father is a Nigerian, he is not a Nigerian because he didn't grow up in Nigeria" how dumb is that? So, a goat stop becoming a goat the moment the goat change location...abeg get sense.

Why dont you wipe off his DNA if you can to prevent him from being a Nigerian.

I just dont understand your bitterness...this is not good for your health. Whether or not he was born here or raised here doesn't stop him from having his ancestry from Nigeria...You can go and deal with that. Nigeria is in such a mess because of negative thinking people like you...you can't be bitter and expect positive energy to propel you into fulfillment, its just not possible. Be positive in your thinking and attitude and watch your life transform for the better...thank me later.

Of course he has to be Yoruba.


Most creative tribe in the world.
You guy are still learning, Google Chukwu Ogo Roy and Ben Enwonwu, He is one of the pioneers whose career opened the way for the postcolonial proliferation and increased visibility of modern African art, and was the first Nigerian contemporary artist to win international acclaim.[2] His work has been exhibited around the world. The Enwonwu crater on the planet Mercury is named in his honour

A black man painted another black man's portrait. All this talk of tribe is not going to do none of you any good. Just look at how we're bickering over which tribe is the greatest and then some guest [may be a foreigner] will be looking at how we're arguing like children.

Honestly, why wouldn't Trump call third world countries "shitholes" when we're good at letting shit come out of our mouth?!
