The person who used “highly prifiled” to refer to Malik Obama is a Joke; a real joke.

After cozing up to Trump, and having gotten nowhere, he now wants to see if Uhuru will treat him differently.If he did not have Obama name,he would be just a joe six pack congratulating the president,just like you , me and the githeri man would.
He did not work hard for that name, he is just riding on it after president Obama who he severed relationship with made is a household name.
Obviously Malik’s congratulatory gesture will not be mistaken to be on the same level as those of foreign dignitaries. I think he saw an opportunity for another 16 minutes of fame,so to speak.

Malik is an idiot who is looking for handouts. He isn’t a dignitary at any level. He’s just tagging on to the name another man (former POTUS) made. Moron Malik.
