Obama’s Cousin Accuses Him of Deserting Their Family

A cousin of Barack Obama has accused the former US president of neglecting their family.
Razick Amuna whose mother Mama Hawa Auma Magak died on Thursday night claims the family has never received any help from Obama, who served as the 44th US president from 2009 to 2017.
He says his mother, who died from a stroke after a long illness, had huge expectations when her nephew was elected president of the world’s most powerful nation.
“My mother used to sell charcoal in order to feed us never knowing that his brother (Barack Obama Snr) would sire a son who will be President,” Razick said.
“When Barack became President, my mother was very excited because she knew we would reap from his election. As her children, we were also excited because we thought our days of suffering had come to an end.”
Mama Hawa was the younger sister of Barack Obama Senior, the biological father of Obama.
“My mother is the one who follows Barack Obama Senior. The expectations we had after Obama became President did not bear any fruits. It seems like Obama did not know that his aunt was unwell and residing in Oyugis, Kokal location,” Razick added.
Mama Hawa died at her home in Kokal Kambero Village in Homa Bay County days after she was discharged from Rachuonyo District Hospital for home-based care. She was married to the late Senior Chief Magak Odek, who died in 1993.
The 80-year-old was laid to rest on Thursday in accordance with the Muslim burial customs.

If you never grew up with your siblings or for that matter your extended relatives, it's very hard to foster the closeness expected of a family.This applies to Obama and his Kenyan connection.Obama is an American,despite some T-shirts I was saying that Obama is a Luo...
To help or not to help is purely his decision.He may have very valid reasons of his own for not shelling and showering gifts to his Kenyan family.It could very be possible that he does not share this notion of extended family fleecing,and heavily burdening those with means.Having said this,I personally think that its not amatter of him not being able to help.He is capable. The question to him is why should he.I also think that if he were approached for a donation to a worthy cause that is dear to him, he would donate.

Who said that they are owed anything? Did they claim Obama all those years ago when his father had abandoned him. Also, the idea that one is owed anything by a successful relative is ignorant and foolish. People will always bad mouth you even if you have done good for them. Shame on all who perpetuate such narratives

Amuna! What do you want from president Obama? The American family lineage does not work like those shags crap! Every man gets a job to take care of his own family - meaning - one wife and about 2 kids at most!
You can’t expect Obama to be feeding you and your family! As a matter of fact, it is quite shameful for a man to ask for handouts from another man! You sound like a damn Loser!

Let’s be reasonable. Obama is not a Luo. He’s not a Kenyan either. It just happens the man that sired him came from Kenya and soon after, he abandoned him.

If there are people who really get on my nerves it’s these family members who believe they have a right to be helped. Obama’s case is even worse coz none of them cared about him when he was growing up. Wakwende huko, lazy idiots

Looking dumb expecting people's sweat typical handout mentality. Work hard for yourself and be happy with whatever you have. Obama became President despite his deadbeat dad, did not sit around waiting for his Kenyan kins to do stuff for him.

Sick and tired of this notion of entitlement. Just because he was sired by one of your relative who was by the way absent dad doesn't mean he has to participate in all your family matters. Obama has no obligation to help non of your clan unless his heart is touched and give a donation. Y'all need to understand the family lineage in western culture doesn't include extended family. These guy never grew with his dad family there has to be permanent bond for one to feel connected to their family which is lacking here. Those he wanted to be associated with the whole world saw them during his last visit to Kenya.
