Little dark boy grew up
Just to get Fred's point in plain English, someone who got their entry data in with a birth date originating in West Africa is likely to have had the date in the Continental format with the day/month order--so this birth date looks like January 8, 1961.
That looks a little late to me for a couple of reasons so I am not sure what it reflects.
His mother, Anna, was in Seattle at the Toutonghi boarding house, early enough to get her name in a Polk 1961 directory. That happened after this guy was born; got to Hawaii; his mother was photographed not visibly pregnant with Obama Sr. in the Nachmanoff living room, presumably in the summer of 1960; and was abandoned as several published sources affirm (See Rick Anderson's article in the Seattle Weekly) with his father Obama Senior.
So I am a little skeptical about whether the January 61 birthdate is correct. If you look at the two young boys picture, this guy is the older darker boy; zero is the younger smaller.
How much older is the darker boy? Maybe only 8 months; maybe as much as a year and half; you don't know.
At one point, as I recall sometime in the 90's; the older darker boy entered the name he now uses as a member of one of zero's classes at Punhoe on Classmates.com.
Equatorial Guinea is a small country, well south of Nigeria on the West Coast of Africa. It has one of the largest crude oil reserve deposits in the world and it operates more or less as a subsidiary of Exxon Mobile. It's foreign embassy/consular service is based in Acara Ghana where this guy offices. This guy is a talented effective person at what he does--he has been head of their World Bank delegation once; capable individual. From time to time, you are tempted to wonder what he thinks of the current situation.

Replacing a comment upthread and correcting an error:

“...But she returned to live in Seattle around 1962, after Barack was born in August 1961, leaving her husband, Kenya-born Barack Sr., and his newborn namesake in Hawaii. She lived on Capitol Hill and enrolled at the University of Washington...”
And then they raise a phony transcript that commences in September 1961 for OBAMA, Stanley Ann Dunham...a year BEFORE she left her husband and son in Hawaii.
One has to wonder, is the author Richard Anderson the husband of the Chantal Anderson at the U of WA:

Obama’s Seattle home?
Posted by Chantal Anderson
“Some interesting records have emerged in the past few months supporting the belief that President Obama lived for a time as a baby in an apartment on Capitol Hill with his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham...”
YOU KNOW WHAT’S REALLY FUNNY?! THE ADDRESS IN THE POLK WAS FOR ANNA OBAMA. WHO WAS SHE?
