Kenya didn't gain independence from Great Britain until 1963, but it was still called Kenya before then.

It is important to note that the name of the territory where Obama's father was born is often referred to as "Kenya" for simplicity. However, during his father's birth in 1936, the region was under British colonial rule and known as the British East Africa Protectorate. It later became the British crown colony of Kenya in 1920 and gained independence in 1963. So, when it is said that Obama's father was born in Kenya, it is actually referring to the same geographical region that is now known as Kenya.

If parentage his been established, either by the father's name appearing on the birth certificate or established after the fact in a court of law, you should obtain the father's permission before leaving the state or it could come back to bite you if the father initiates a legal action against you based on the same. If parentage has never been established, you might be able to get away with it up and until the time the father decides to exercise his rights and establish himself legally as the child's parent.

What Kenya nickname?
Kenya's nickname - The name Kenya is derived from a corruption of the local dialect of the Embu people around Mt Kenya. On answering speke the early explorer, one native replied that the mountain is called Kia nyaga meaning God's place. Speke could not pronounce the dialect and hence the Ki nya(Kenya!). In a nutshell, that is Kenya's nickname - "God's place".maikweki@Yahoo.com
