Nothing you quote says anything about losing his British nationality. You’re making it up, i.e., lying.
Any lurkers interested in Barry’s British nationality rather than your lies can go here for more background — http://www.kerchner.com/protectourliberty/goatsledge/20090708%20Obama%20Still%20British.pdf

The British Nationality Act of 1948 (Part II, Section 5) states: Subject to the provisions of this section, a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by descent if his father is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies at the time of the birth.
Therefore, at the time of his birth, Barack Obama II was both a U.S. citizen (by virtue of being born in Hawaii) and a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies by virtue of being born to a father who was a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies.
On December 12, 1963, Kenya formally gained its independence from the United Kingdom.
Chapter VI, Section 87 of the Kenyan Constitution specifies that:
1. Every person who, having been born in Kenya, is on 11th December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British protected person shall become a citizen of Kenya on 12th December, 1963.
2. Every person who, having been born outside Kenya, is on 11th December, 1963 a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies or a British protected person shall, if his father becomes, or would but for his death have become, a citizen of Kenya by virtue of subsection (1), become a citizen of Kenya on 12th December, 1963.
As a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies who was born in Kenya, Obama’s father automatically received Kenyan citizenship via subsection (1). So given that Obama qualified for citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies status at birth and given that Obama’s father became a Kenyan citizen via subsection (1), Obama did in fact have Kenyan citizenship after 1963.
But the Kenyan Constitution prohibits dual citizenship for adults. Kenya recognizes dual citizenship for children, but Kenya’s Constitution specifies that at age 23, Kenyan citizens who possesses citizenship in more than one country automatically lose their Kenyan citizenship unless they formally renounce any non-Kenyan citizenship and swear an oath of allegiance to Kenya.
Since Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired at age 23 on August 4,1984. The Kenyan Constitution required Obama to choose whether to keep either his U.S. or his Kenyan citizenship upon his 21st birthday, which was August 4, 1982. But the Constitution of Kenya provided him a two-year window for making that choice. So Obama did not officially and automatically lose his Kenyan citizenship until his 23rd birthday in 1984.
Let’s review now, shall we?
Obama was a British subject until Kenya gained independence and stopped being a British Colony and was therefore no longer operating under the British Nationality Act of 1948. Obama was a Kenyan citizen until he reached age 23 and did not choose Kenya as his nationality over the United States.
Kenya does not allow adults to have dual citizenship.
