And even though, legally, the Government of Kenya does not recognise him as Kenyan that is of little consequence to his family here. Obama doesn’t have to have been born in Kenya to get the privilege of calling Kogelo home. In patrilineal Kenya, everybody has a ‘real’ home, which is where the father/husband originally comes from, and not just where they have chosen to live and work. In Kenya, and many other African countries, a child belongs not just to the mother and father, but to the extended family: grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins.Īmongst the Luo, this concept of community is particularly strong, which is why even though Obama is fully American, to his relatives in Kenya he is fully Luo.
The name and the person Barack Hussein Obama Sr, came from a sleepy village in Kenya called Nyang’oma Kogelo. There was a Barack Hussein Obama born in Kenya. To all the skeptics out there, here is one inescapable fact. This first article is a must read the author rips the birfers, and explains why Kenyans describe Obama as a "Kenyan", "son of the soil", "son of Kenya", etc. Say what may, Obama is Kogelo’s son ruling the greatest nation on earth. All spelling errors are as found in the articles: The first one is a must have for all obots.
I have dug up a bunch of articles from Africa that mention Obama's Hawaiian birth. It is still referred to as "proof" that Obama was born in Kenya.įor some masochistic reason, I have been battling birfers on youtube. Most of you have seen this 2004 article from East African Standard: Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate.
