A man from Kenya is reportedly offering a dowry for the hand of President Obama’s 16-year-old daughter Malia with 70 sheep, 50 cows and 30 goats.
Felix Kiprono told The Nairobian newspaper that he has long dreamed to marry Malia, the oldest of the Obamas’ children.
“I got interested in her in 2008,” he said. “As a matter of fact, I haven’t dated anyone since and promise to be faithful to her.”
Kiprono, a lawyer, hopes to make the offer in person when Obama 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.
But just to make sure his intentions are clearly honorable, Kiprono says his love for Malia is “real.” “People might say I am after the family’s money, which is not the case.”
And he says the pair would lead a “simple life.”
