A hotshot lawyer in Kenya’s capital is prepared to offer President Barack Obama 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats for the hand of his 16-year-old daughter Malia.
In an interview with The Nairobian, Felix Kaprono says he first “got interested in [Malia] in 2008,” when she was 9 and 10 years old during Obama’s first presidential campaign. “As a matter of fact, I haven’t dated anyone since and promise to be faithful to her.”
According to Kaprono, he has “shared this with my family and they are willing to help me raise the bride price.” His dowry offer, totaling 150 animals, is exceptionally steep by any standards, and a difficult offer to turn down.
He told The Nairobian that he has sent the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi a request that Malia accompany the president during his upcoming July visit to the country. If she accepts, he says, instead of popping champagne “I will surprise her with mursik,” a fermented milk drink special to his ethnic group, the Kalenjin. “As an indication that she is my queen,” he went on, “I will tie sinendet, which is a sacred plant, around her head.”
Kaprono also imagines that in marriage to Malia, “ours will be a simple life. I will teach Malia how to milk a cow, cook ugali [an African staple dish made of cornmeal] and prepare mursik like any other Kalenjin woman.”
Wow! How lucky is Malia?
