In a statement that stirred both laughter and reflection online, controversial preacher Pastor James Ng’ang’a has claimed that popular comedian Eric Omondi has the potential to become a powerful prophet—if he repents and leaves behind his comedic lifestyle.
Speaking during a church service, Pastor Ng’ang’a said,
“Eric Omondi aki wacha sarakasi na aokoke, atakuwa nabii,”
(“If Eric Omondi quits circus acts and gets saved, he will become a prophet.”)
The remark has ignited a wave of reactions across social media, with many praising the pastor for seeing untapped potential in the comedian, while others questioned the seriousness of the statement. Eric Omondi, known for his sharp satire and activism, has not publicly responded to the remarks yet.
Ng’ang’a, no stranger to controversy, often delivers unexpected spiritual takes that draw attention beyond the pulpit. His latest comment adds to ongoing debates about the role of public figures in matters of faith, especially those in the entertainment space.
While some view his message as a genuine spiritual call, others interpret it as a playful jab at the comedian’s dramatic performances and political activism.
