You heard right. A lawyer in Kenya has offerred President Obama 50 cows, 70 sheep, and 30 goats in exchange for his daughters hand in marriage, who is currently 16 years old.
Would this lead to better relations between the two countries?

Obama's Kenyan grandmother, who is in her early 90s, still lives in Kogelo, in western Kenya, home to a number of the president's relatives.
"I am currently drafting a letter to Obama asking him to please have Malia accompany him for this trip. I hope the embassy will pass the letter to him," he said.
Kiprono dismissed the notion he might be a gold-digger.
"People might say I am after the family's money, which is not the case. My love is real," he insisted.
The young lawyer, whose age was not revealed, said he had already planned his proposal, which would be made on a hill near his rural village, and the wedding at which champagne would be shunned in favour of a traditional sour milk called "mursik".
Kiprono said that as a couple he and the young Obama would lead "a simple life".
"I will teach Malia how to milk a cow, cook ugali (maize porridge) and prepare mursik like any other Kalenjin woman," he said.
