Oh – A city lawyer has a special request for President Barack Obama. His dream is to marry one of Obama’s daughters, Malia, and is ready to pay 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats as bride price. Speaking to The Nairobian, Kiprono, who hit the headlines when he moved to court seeking to have William Ruto sworn in as president when Uhuru travelled to The Hague for his ICC case, said he is ready to meet Obama to discuss the matter when the US president visits in July.

“I got interested in her in 2008. As a matter of fact, I haven’t dated anyone since and promise to be faithful to her. I have shared this with my family and they are willing to help me raise the bride price,” he said.  The young lawyer claims his love for Malia is real and not infatuation He claims Malia has Kenyan blood since his father Obama has Kenyan roots.

If you’re the President of the United States, you might have to consider this offer. I don’t know what Obama would do with this much livestock, but you still have to consider it. 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats? This lawyer is going out of his way to impress the President and I hope Barack notices. I don’t know if this is how people pay for stuff in Nairobi, but sign me up. Want to buy a flat screen TV? 300 chickens. Want to buy a new car? 10 cheetahs and half a turtle. The people of Nairobi might be onto something, because as it stands America is pretty much printing money with nothing backing it. Why not get into the animal currency business? Seems lucrative. If cows, sheep and goats are a lawyers salary, I think I’d fit in pretty well there. Just no birds. Never any birds.
