  If mama sarah is still serious in giving obama a spear, I still have a spear given to me by village elders from Kenya and I can pass it on to her while on US soil. I can drive to meet her from Atlanta Georgia to Delaware. Its a beautiful spear and will not mind donating it to that illustrious son of Kenya.

  A proverb from an African community goes "guciara ti kumia" (giving birth to a child is different from using the restroom). I support the family trip. This is one of their own son. How many buses do I see driving from villages of villages (as far as coast province) to Nairobi Eldoret ..etc for a simple graduation ceremony? This is a titanic moment and may never happen again in the next few centuries.

  People, let us not keep on complaining about the Kogelo family coming to USA. Which family does not like it when one of their own is famous? I guess people who are complaining do not know how it feels to accomplish a long time struggle. Let us celebrate making a world history. his man has undergone a lot to make it through.

  Does it mean that Kogelo primary will be closed to have festives from 16th? is there any learning in that institution anyway? wasnt there an alternative to the venue, at least to allow the pupils there to continue with their education to achieve their dream to become the "Obama" later in their lives? why should the celebrations interfere with the education of the young kids?

  It will be Historic for the whole world world as the first African-American Presidential is installed in the great America. Mama Sara, please be our good Ambassador. As the saying goes, 'it is the mother of the child who knows the father', represent the family and Kenyans as a true mother.

  This report is a little misleading. The mayor of W`shington DC has no idea how many people will attend. The security agencies here have downgraded crowds to less than 2 million people. They have the most recent estimation. Initially there were tentative hotel reservations. Most rooms are now empty according to the latest official hotel reservations data. This reporter should check facts.
