Kezia says: “Barack was also worried about what his father would think because I was so young, but he gave us his approval. He sent my mother and father 14 cows for my dowry.
“Barack’s father was only a cook so it was a big sacrifice. Very soon after, we were married.”
That was January 1957. Kezia and Barack Snr set up home in Jericho, a section of Nairobi created for government employees, and began a family.
First son Roy was born in March 1958. Kezia insisted: “Barack was a good husband.”
Obama Sr’s school records show he left school in Kenya in 1953.

The students were taught sciences, art and technical subjects, including carpentry and tailoring.
Otula says Obama Sr went straight to the US from Maseno, to start his academic tour. He later married an American woman, the mother of Senator Obama.
Someone forgot to tell the teacher about the 14 cows?
I have been meaning to post about this, but still need to finish research:
“Otula says Obama Sr went straight to the US from Maseno.”
He may have been led to believe that, but I think that cannot be correct. I think BHO may have gone to Nairobi to work as a clerk (for same organization that that woman, Elizabeth? worked for)-—the woman who helped grease the wheels to get BHO to the US.
Will locate & post.
