Former United States President Barrack Obama has used a photo taken in Nairobi, Kenya to wish his wife Michelle a happy birthday.
Obama posted a photo of him and Michelle when they visited Kenya in 1992 before they got married.
“I knew it way back then and I’m absolutely convinced of it today — you’re one of a kind, @MichelleObama. Happy Birthday!” Obama captions the photo where he is holding a Standard newspaper.
The former US First Lady turned 55 on Thursday.
The couple, who lived together for four years before solemnizing their union, has been married for 26 years now. They have two daughters, Malia, 20, and Sasha, 17.
In her book ‘Becoming’, which was released last year, Michelle describes how her first visit to Kenya was.
She writes: “Auma (Obama’s half-sister) sky-blue VW was so old that it often needed to be pushed in order to get the engine into gear. I’d ill-advisedly bought new white sneakers to wear on the trip, and within a day, after all the pushing we did, they’d turned reddish brown, stained with the cinnamon-hued dust of Nairobi.”
Michelle has not visited Kenya since then.

Someone please explain to me why if two people shared a bed and one has a birthday, should they not turn to each other (not to the world) to wish themselves those pleasantries then go about your business?

“Michelle has not visited Kenya since then”
In her mind, the name “Kenya” conjures images of old, junky cars bellowing smoke and cinnamon hued red & brown dust, not exactly the kind of fun you’d want. Somebody tell Michelle Kenya moved on!

Ithink that “test period”…
Ithink that “test period” they lived together helped alot in solemnizing and solidifying their state of the union in their marriage. That was a good scientific test.
Now,Ispeak as a SCIENTIST, please,test your partner before you get solemnized.This will go along way in saving you alot of grief and financial loss.
And no.Ihave not TEST DRIVEN yet.Iam in the process of accepting resumes.Cut of date is aweek to Valentine’s day.So you single ladies try your luck.All I can assure you is pure bliss

we can’t be serious all the time 🙂
Mimi sikubaliani na…
Mimi sikubaliani na wanaosherehekea siku ya kuzaliwa. Kama ningesherehekea siku ya kuzaliwa, ni siku ambayo ningemkumbuka MAMA yangu kwa kunipa uhai (life). Mama Ndiye msingi (foundation) wa maisha yako. Kama mama yako asingetaka uzaliwe … usingekuwa hai sasa.
Kila siku yapata wanawake 830 hufa (die) wanapomzaa mtoto. Mwaka wa 2015, wanawake 303,000 walikufa wakati walipokuwa na mimba, wakati wa kuzaa mtoto, na baada ya kuzaa mtoto.
Dada Michelle, jana ingalikuwa vizuri kama ungempa Mama yako zawadi kwa kukupa maisha uliyo nayo sasa. Si siku yako! Kama wahenga walivyosema,” Ajuaye uchungu wa uzazi ni MAMA.”
Kwa hiyo Dada na ndugu zangu, nawaombeni muanze kusherehekea siku ya kuzaliwa kwa kuwakumbukeni Mama zenu waliowapeni maisha kwa kuwanunulia zawadi na kuwashukuru kwa kuwapeni uhai mlio nao sasa.
AKILI NI ZAWADI TULIYOPEWA NA MWUMBAJI. TUITUMIE KWA KUTENDA MEMA KWA WATU WOTE DUNIANI.
@ Ndugu Imara, if it were…
@ Ndugu Imara, if it were only a word of happy birth day,that would be fine,but the other expectations like presents,going out ,puts too much pressure on some people.For example kama madame amekukasirisha sana,or just learned that she is having an affair,and her birth day is tomorrow, and you fill that there is abig rift that will take time to heal,how many men would still go ahead and give madame a present or take her out?I woudnt,till the matter at hand is resolved to my satisfaction.
Who cares.I supported this…
Who cares.I supported this dude on his first term but later dismissed him completely when he started support mashoga ushoga marriages n as him bin a black man n a family man i stopped admiring them?N when he was asked what will he do if her daughter introduces another shoga as the wife the dude couldn’t even answer the question??Bure kabisa.I admire real men who will stand firm on what they believe iin not bin forced to speak or support shit which u cannot defend when asked inside questions.One of the weakest n empty prezzo usa had.The only change was he was a black president but nothing else.
No, you hate him because you…
No, you hate him because you got deported during his error.
grrrr….america really…
grrrr….america really makes you mad. Pole for what you went thro’….choose to heal and have a renewed mindset 2019. Hii uchungu itakuua.
@Mkenya halisi:
Mimi sasa…
@Mkenya halisi:
Mimi sasa nimefikia kiwango ambacho sitaki kuingilia mambo ya watu (isipokuwa Mwafrika kuwa mkristo au mwislamu) kama hawatanilazimisha kufanya mambo wanayofanya.
Nililamizishwa kuwa mkristo ( I was forced to become a christian) nilipokuwa mtoto sana. Ndiyo sababu mojawapo ambayo inanifanya kuichukia dini hii kabisa. Pili, nililazimishwa kusema sala (prayer) kwa Kilatini (Latin) hata ingawa sikujua nilikuwa nikisema nini!
Mtu akitaka kumwoa (to marry) nyoka, shauri yake lakini asije na huyo nyoka nyumbani kwangu akisema ya kwamba nyoka huyo ni “mke” wake.
Wamarekani wengi wanafuga “mbwa” na wachache wanamfanya mbwa huyo kuwa “mume” wao. Siwezi kuwakataza urafiki wao na mbwa wao lakini sitamkubali mwanamke huyo na mume wake ambaye ni mbwa kuja kwangu, wala mimi sitakwenda kwake!
Ndugu yangu Mugikuyu, ningependa tufanye kazi pamoja ili nchi yetu iendelee mbele ikiwa na usalama na vijana wanapata kazi kutokana na viwanda vinavyojengwa katika nchi yetu na Wakenya wenzetu.
Hayati Nyerere aliyekuwa rais wa kwanza katika nchi ya Tanzania alisema, “…It can be done, play your part.” Ni bora tushirikiane pamoja kuifufua nchi yetu kabla Wachaina hawajatutawala mara ya pili kama Waingereza walivyofanya mara ya kwanza.

@Formerly guest2,my romance advisor wants to know your response to the following questions:
1.Are you open to come-we-stay for 4years like the Obama’s did -testing phase?
2.In the event you decide to terminate the union before 3 years is the “dowry ” refundable?
Please be advised that your response will not Influence me one way or the other.The advisor just wants to put in some billable hours.
Answer 1: Ati what, testing…
Answer 1: Ati what, testing for 4 years, if I do not know what I want after 6 months, then that is a union I do not want to be in ,so can you revise that clause lol
Answer 2: All paid fees /dowry is fixed and non refundable
I thought you are hopeless romantic , why do you need to waste money on an advisor – unaona sasa as we say in kikuyu ” umeanguka kwa classroom” – dead on arrival 🙂
