Speaking to Nairobian Newspaper, a Kenyan lawyer named, Felix Kiprono Matagei, who is also a student at Oxford University according to his Facebook profile, has offered President Obama 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats in return for his daughter Malia's hand in marriage. He offered the livestock in order to fulfil his 'dream' of marrying Malia. He added that he has been 'interested' in Obama's daughter since his first presidential campaign in 2008, when she was just 10 years old.
Speaking to the newspaper, he said:
'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. People might say I am after the family's money, which is not the case. My love is real.'
Kiprono says he will propose on a hill near his home village of Litein, and at the wedding will shun champagne in favour of a traditional drink of sour milk, called mursik.
As for life after marriage, Malia can look forward to learning how to milk a cow, cooking ugali - which is a thick maize porridge - and -preparing the mursik drink 'like any other Kalenjin woman'.
Kiprono said he hopes to put the offer of marriage to Obama when he makes his first presidential visit to Kenya, the country where his father was born, in July.
