Kenyan’s are eagerly awaiting their ‘Son’
who is also the president of the most
powerful nation in the world USA.
Obama’s father, Barack Hussein Obama
Sr, was born in western Kenya in 1936
and died there in a car accident in 1982.
This is not Obama’s first trip to Kenya.
But it seems Kenyans can never get
enough of him and hence the
‘ObamaMania’ that has gripped the
country.
Kenya will be hosting US President
Barack Obama in the upcoming Global
Entrepreneurship Summit.
But almost
everyone wants to have a piece of
Obama and the Nairobi university
students do not want to be left out.
Eighteen University of Nairobi (Kenya)
students have threatened to commit
suicide if US President Barack Obama
fails to visit the campus, The student
union chairman Babu Owino has said.
Owino spoke to CCTV Africa on phone
saying the threats are real and that for
him he is just a messenger who is
sending a message a cross.
”I do not
want to blamed by people for not
passing this message across,” he told
CCTV Africa.
In a letter to US Ambassador Robert
Godec, Owino further warned that 31
female students would urinate on a tree
planted by the US President at the
university.
Obama planted the tree in 2006, when
he was Illinois Senator.
“Male students will do worse. This will be
catastrophic, calamitous and
cataclysmic. God forbid,” Owino said in
the letter released on Monday. “It
saddens our hearts that President
Barack Obama is not scheduled to visit
the great UoN… I therefore honorably
appeal to Obama to visit…” Owino
requested Godec to appeal to Obama to
visit the university, saying they will listen
to him at any time of day or night.
