KENYAN President, William Ruto, has jokingly expressed worry over the rate Nigerian men are marrying Kenyan women, following the marriages of his two daughters to Nigerian men.
Ruto said if the situation persisted, it could result in a brain drain in his country.
Speaking at a recent wedding ceremony, captured in a video shared by Africa Facts Zone on X, the Kenya leader, humorously commenting on the increasing trend of Kenyan women marrying Nigerian men, feared that Kenyan men might be lagging in the realm of romance, stressed the need for them to up their game and find a balance.
He said: “My daughter is married to a Nigerian, and this one is now married to a Nigerian. And our guys around; I don’t know, are you slow? I don’t know.
“We need to balance this scale, because at this rate, we are going to have a brain drain from Kenya.”
However, he also highlighted that the unions reflect the strong and friendly ties between Kenya and Nigeria, urging both nations to continue to build on this relationship.
“I think there is something between Kenya and Nigeria, we should pick it up further,” Ruto stated.
