How much would President Obama’s daughter Malia fetch in a marriage contract? Hey, she’s 16, practically an old maid.
A Kenyan lawyer has offered her dad a tidy sum: 50 cows, 70 sheep, and 30 goats to gain Malia as his bride.
This isn’t a hasty decision on the part of Felix Kiprono, who has been interested in her since she was 10 years old, at which time he decided to be faithful to her and wait for her. Consequently, he hasn’t dated in all that time.
It’s coming out now because Kiprono intends to put his proposal before President Obama when he visits Kenya this July. He is writing a letter to ask that Malia come with the President on his Kenyan trip.
He wants to live the simple life with his bride, teaching her how to milk a cow and cook ugali (maize porridge) and other traditional Kenyan dishes.
Why do I pass on this story to you? Because I thought I’d break up your week with a deeply romantic, heart-felt story. That’s the kind of thing I do for my faithful readers.
