Kenyan President William Ruto has playfully commented on the growing trend of Nigerian men marrying Kenyan women, noting that both of his daughters are now married to Nigerians.

Speaking at a recent wedding ceremony, Ruto joked about the increasing preference of Kenyan women for Nigerian men, teasing that local men appear to be “too slow” in comparison.

In a video that has since gone viral, the president expressed lighthearted concern that the country could face a “brain drain” if the trend continues.

“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,” Ruto said. “We need to balance this scale because at this rate, we are going to have a brain drain from Kenya.”

"My daughter is married to a Nigerian and this one now is married to a Nigerian. Are our guys slow? I don't know. We need to balance this scale"
