Man offers lobola for Obama's 16-year-old daughter

How much Lobola would Barack Obama's daughters be worth?

Well a Kenyan lawyer thinks 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats.

Felix Kiprono has asked for Obama's oldest daughter, Malia's hand in marriage for about 150 livestock.

He said that he promises Malia 'a simple life' should Obama accept his offer.

Kiprono said that his dream has always been to wed Obama's 16-year-old daughter.

Although he is not currently dating , Kiprono feels he needs to remain faithful to Malia.

"I got interested in her in 2008," he told a Narobian newspaper.

"As a matter of fact, I haven't dated anyone since and promise to be faithful to her."

He said that he will be presenting Obama when he visits Kenya in July.

"I am currently drafting a letter to Obama asking him to please have Malia accompany him for this trip," he said.

Kiprono said that he genuinely loves Malia and wants to lead a simple life with her.

"I will teach Malia how to milk a cow, cook ugali (maize porridge) and prepare mursik (a traditional sour milk) like any other Kalenjin woman," he said.
