Kenyan Mother Names New-Born Twins Barack & Mitt by youngies(m): 6:29am On Nov 08, 2012


Election enthusiast: Millicent Owuor, 20, holds her newly born twin boys named after U.S. President Barack Obama, left, and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, right.


Motherly love: Owuor rests with new-born children Barack Obama, left, and Mitt Romney, right, inside the maternity ward of Siaya District Hospital, near Obama's ancestral home village of Nyangoma Kogelo.

A Kenyan mother has named her new-born twins after US President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney, the BBC reports.

Millicent Owuor, 20, gave birth to the twins in south-west Kenya on the day Obama was re-elected.

A short distance from the hospital, at the Obama family’s ancestral village, people were celebrating his victory.

“I named the first twin Barack and the second one Mitt,” Owuor was quoted by Reuters as saying.

Owuor posed for photographers on Wednesday at the Siaya District Hospital with her twin boys.

She said she had named her twins after the winning and losing US presidential candidates in order to remember the day of the vote, Kenya’s Standard newspaper reports.

The US president’s father was born in Kenya and his step-grandmother, Sarah Obama, still lives in the village of Kogelo.

The residents of Kogelo sang and danced after Obama was declared the winner.

“The reason why he has won is because God has given it to him,” said Sarah Obama, who turns 90 this year.

“Secondly, he has got the knowledge to love all people, he doesn’t have the knowledge of division, that is why he has won.”

Barack Obama senior died in a road accident in Kenya in 1982.

Why are you frowning? Didnt you vote for Obama? Lol.

@acid, maybe lol.

Reminds me of the lives of these two brothers, Winner and Loser Lane. Loser was successful while Winner spent most of his life incarcerated. Often times, people are able to overcome the obstacle that is their name. Mitt may end up being the honest one lol.

Yeah, you are right....but she didn't see it that way. Her reason is - she just wants to use that to remember the election day. What a crazy thought!

That is the exact summary put succinctly!
One is a born winner, the other, a vanquished loser; predestined by an ignorant mother... Esau & Jacob.
May one not see a Cain & Abel situation.. undecided

Re: Kenyan Mother Names New-Born Twins Barack & Mitt by sage2(m): 8:21am On Nov 08, 2012
I hope this woman understands the consequences of her action. This is capable of setting off her innocent kids on an unhealthy and perpetual rivalry. The one named Mitt may hate her for naming him so and may always be suspicious of his brother, Barack. I am of the opinion that both men are successful though.
