I like the fact that she dressed so simply with her green white green shirt. That's just how she is normally. Even though I wouldn't dress that way to see the first lady of the most powerful country in the world, I respect Mrs Odumakin for not trying to change who she is, just to impress. God bless her!

    I hate Michelle's dress. I HATE IT. who is her stylist? She is not a "too much design" personality. She needs straight cuts, no frills, no flowery stuff, military style. Fine woman and she come dey resemble housegirl and I hope she develops ringworm on her head. That seems to be the only way to cause her to get rid of that NASTY bang thing that is hiding her beauty and [no pun intended] making her look HIDEOUS!

    Who is this Derick Hosagie clown commenting. If you did your own research, you'd see that her middle name is Obiajulu!! Which means she is prob an Igbo woman married to a Yoruba man. Regardless she is a Nigerian, quit with the tribalistic nonsense. Dont go there!

    Yes o ...na me...I made the comment about helping designers via this platform. I also totally congratulate and celebrate her. But true true, if na some people dem for dress well, yes we get brains but also carriage and beauty. THIS IS NOTE FOR MANY MORE NIGERIAN WOMEN WHO WILL BE RECOGNISED REAL SOON.SEEK ADVICE. Rep Nigeria properly na.... graceful, humble, motherly, not jaga jaga like eh bus conductor. This look will attract pity from some people in that room ( like omg,she is really from a very poor clueless country) which is not the message she is sending..Kapish?

    ..THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. WHEN YOU STOP 'SHITTING' FOOD BECOMES POISONOUS., ALLOW ROOM FOR FRESH SUPPLIES. (in other words, when you stop learning you become obsolete)

    ALL THE INSULTERS, THE BRAIN IS USED FOR THINKING BEFORE TYPING.ENGAGE IT.

    GBOSA! FOR THE THINKERS!
