14 Things Every Millennial Can Learn From Michelle Obama’s Documentary on Becoming

As a Nigerian millennial, my earliest recollection of a First Lady was Stella Obasanjo. 

I’ve always been interested in politics and government, so I also read up on other First Ladies like Maryam Babangida who was the wife of General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, Nigeria's Head of State from 1985 to 1993 and Maryam Abacha who is the wife of the late General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s military ruler from 1993 to 1998. 

From as far back as I can remember, these Nigerian First Ladies were always very fashionable, opinionated and outspoken on a number of good causes. So when the world stood still on November 4, 2008, as Barack Obama became the first African American to be elected president of the United States of America, I couldn’t help but stare at his wife, Michelle.

The Science Of Live Videos And The Art of Getting It Right

Watching Andrea Bocelli live, on Sunday april 12, 2020, was so surreal!

But what made it even more special was watching it with my grandpa!

You see, my 80-year-old grandfather is the absolute king of swank and growing up around him, I fell in love with some of what have now become my favourite things ... red wine, croissants, cheese platters, jazz and of course the opera, so it was a blessing sharing the live concert with him.

My colleague shared the link to the concert with me and I hurriedly sent it to my grandpa. It was a wonderful experience to share in our love for Andrea Bocelli’s music even though we were miles apart.

And that’s the reality of the world today.
