President William Ruto of Kenya has jokingly warned that his country could be experiencing a new wave of brain drain after his two daughters got married to Nigerians.
Speaking at the wedding ceremony in a video posted on Africa Facts Zone X account, the Kenyan President jokingly lamented the recent shift in the choice of husbands among Kenyan girls, with Nigerians becoming more preferable to Kenyan men.
He then questioned why Kenyan men are taking the backseat, warning that his country might soon experience a brain drain if their women continue to marry Nigerians.
“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,” – Kenyan President Ruto jokingly laments at a recent event.

Ruto said such conjugal bliss among the two national ties speaks volumes about the existing cordial relationship between Nigeria and Kenya, which must be taken to the next level.
”I think there is something between Kenya and Nigeria, we should pick it up further,” Ruto said
