Kenyan President William Ruto has light-heartedly warned of a possible brain drain in his country, following the marriages of his two daughters to Nigerian men.
Speaking at a recent wedding ceremony, captured in a video shared by Africa Facts Zone on X, Ruto humorously addressed the growing trend of Kenyan women marrying Nigerians.
He suggested that Kenyan men may be falling behind in the romance department.
“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,”; the President quipped.
Ruto also highlighted that the unions reflect the strong and friendly ties between Kenya and Nigeria, suggesting that both nations should continue to build on this relationship.
“I think there is something between Kenya and Nigeria, we should pick it up further,”; Ruto added.
