Barack Obamas election as US President has given rise to celebrations in many corners of the world. But in southern China, one of Obamas little-known relatives is holding his own quiet celebrations, away from the glare of the media.
Obamas half-brother Mark Ndesandjo he is the son of Obamas late father and his third wife Ruth Nidesand has lived in Shenzhen in southern China for over six years, and on Wednesday, sent his congratulations to Obama immediately after his historic election as the first African-American President of the US, according to Shenzhen Daily.
Ndesandjos business partner and friend Sui Zhengjun was quoted as saying that Ndesandjo has very high hopes about Obamas concept of change, and was delighted not only as Obamas half-brother but as an American.
Obama refers to Ndesandjo as my brother but the two are believed to have had a strained relationship, which Obama records in his 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father.
Ndesandjo has gone to extraordinary lengths to avoid public attention, particularly after he was outed by the media in July.
He is believed to have a long-time Chinese girlfriend, and his acquaintances describe him as being big, strong and full of energy and a really easygoing guy who wears a hat over his shaven head.
Ndesandjo, who gets his surname from his Kenyan mother, is associated with a Shenzhen-based company, Worldnexus Ltd, which provides corporate communications and website design services for Chinese firms seeking customers in English-speaking markets, principally the US.
Despite his reclusive nature, Ndesandjo has become something of a reluctant star in China, and a Chinese wine manufacturer even invited him to be its brand ambassador. But Ndesandjo is believed to have declined the offer; the Shenzen Daily quoted Sui as saying that Ndesandjo preferred a quiet life.
Earlier Chinese media reports have noted that Ndesandjo, a self-taught musician, offers piano lessons at an orphanage in Shenzhen. A 2004 article claimed that Ndesandjo wished to bring the art of music to the orphans.
Ndesandjo is known to have come to China in 2002 on a Sino-American culture exchange programme. As part of this programme, he worked in a Shenzhen foreign language school, and during that period, he established a non-profit organisation in China to help orphans.
According to Sui, before coming to China, Ndesandjo contacted several philanthropist agencies, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, with a proposal, but had received no response. He then secured some donations from his MBA classmates in Emory and moved to China.
Yes he is. That "other white American" woman was Ruth Nidesand. Now why his name is not Obama, who knows? Perhaps his mother remarried another Kenyan after she divorced the old lech/lush. Apparently wife 1 never knew he had married wife 3 (Ruth). It's not clear if wife 1 knew he had "married" wife 2 (Stanley Ann), assuming that "marriage" was legal anywhere. Assuming there was such a marriage anywhere.
No it doesn't it says:
Obamas half-brother Mark Ndesandjo he is the son of Obamas late father and his third wife Ruth Nidesand
Ruth Nidesand was an American, from Boston, where BHO Sr. went after *he* threw Stanley Ann and little Barry under the bus. She had another son with BHO Sr, David Ndesandjo, who was killed in a motorcyle accident. Ruth had a third son. Joseph Ndesandjo with her second husbnd, a Tanzanian named Ndesandjo here's his photo.
He went to college just down the road a piece at Trinity in San Antonio, where he lives today.
Damn!
We’re going to need a program guide and a geneology chart to follow all the semen trails of Obama’s sperm donor.....and that donor’s sperm recipients...
That's exactly what happened, although they may just use his name rather than that of that slimeball BHO Sr.
It also states: “Ndesandjo, who gets his surname from his Kenyan mother”
She wasn't Kenyan, but rather Bostonian.
Her sons, have good claim to US Citizenship, since their mother was an American Citizen, and had lived in the US for 10 years, 5 of which were after the age of 14.
If Barry wasn't born in Hawaii, as claimed, he has a much weaker, in fact zero, claim to be a Natural Born US Citizen, because his mother did not meet all those criteria.
It does indeed, but it's poorly written, since that is her second married name, and she might be a naturalized Kenyan, but she was born in the US.

"Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives..."
Good grief! I think I'd be able to keep straight the marital backgrounds of any ten soap opera characters far better than I can figure out 0's convoluted family.For the first time in my life I almost feel a little sorry for him. What a screwy heritage.
For Pete’s sake, just how many little Obama bastards are there? kinda reminds me of some nightly pests I have seen in some of my rentals.
ROFL
JEMIMA
maybe recruit him to run against Hussein in 2010.
I know, I finally figured it out. One good google is all I needed.
I think the share a daddy
He has seven half siblings.
I wonder if Obama will try to make him Emperor of China.
