On Friday everything came to a standstill in the capital city of Kenya. The son of our land Barck Obama was coming back home. From entertainment joins to roads leading to the airport, one would tell that indeed Kenyans were ready to receive him.

Yesterday, after addressing Kenyans, Obama left for Ethiopia where he is set to meet the AU leaders and discuss the civil war in South Sudan; the youngest nation in Africa.

But unlike Kenya where thousands turned up to receive Obama, in Ethiopia only a few turned up on the major highway leading to the airport and were allowed to take pictures of "The Beast". At the airport, only top leaders led by their Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn were at hand to receive him.

From the photos it's evident that indeed Kenyans are so patriotic about their leaders and they love Obama so much. Barack Obama was also welcomed by a rainbow, could his visit to Ethiopia be symbolic? Check out some of the tweets of Obama in Ethiopia
