Funny? Maybe. Accurate?

This is a hoax. First, Kenya's two main languages are Swahili and English. The road sign above contains what appears to be Arabic script. Second, the image was Photoshopped. The original, discovered by a user posting on the conspiracy-theory website AboveTopSecret.com, is of a road sign in Madha, a territory of Oman located in the United Arab Emirates. In English and Arabic, it says: "Wilayat Madha Welcomes You."

Obama's father, Barack Obama the elder, was born in Kenya...
otherwise that sign is bogus, imo.

Good sign though. Not far off. His grandmother has not been invited to the White House for Holidays?!?!?!? She has said, on multiple occasions, that she was there for his birth. In Kenya.

You have a legit link(s) for that idea?


By the bye, many Swahili words came from Arabic, much like English
from Germany, et al. Dunno what that sign says or, what langauge.

Here is just one I found off a quick search.
Democrat: Obama's grandma confirms Kenyan birth

There are many many more. There are also many stating this wasn't true. Where there is smoke, there is fire
