Controversial preacher Pastor James Ng’ang’a of Neno Evangelism Center has stirred up social media with a video where he taunts Pastor Ezekiel Odero of New Life Church over latest donation to Benny Hinn Crusade.
In the video that has gone viral on TikTok, Pastor Ng’ang’a is heard asking Pastor Ezekiel to wire Kshs 1.4 million to his account, days after he cleared Kshs 14 million arrears for the Nyayo Stadium 3-day crusade that took place in February 2024 and attended by American Preacher Benny Hinn
“Kwani nikikula pesa yako nitakufa? Wewe ni nani? Wewe ni nani? (Will I die if I eat your money? Who are you? Who are you?)” Pastor Ng’ang’a says in the video, as he laughs sarcastically.
He also accuses Pastor Ezekiel and other pastors in kenya of being a hypocrite who treats foreigners with respect but disrespects local pastors.
“Unawatendea heshima wazungu, unawalipa pesa, lakini unawadharau wachungaji wa Kenya. Wewe ni nani? (You respect the whites, you pay them money, but you look down on Kenyan pastors. Who are you?)” he adds.
Pastor Ezekiel has not responded to the video or the allegations as of the time of writing this article.
He is the founder of New Lie Church, which has a huge following in Mavueni, Kilifi county.
He is also a wealthy businessman who owns several international schools and a TV station.
He is married to Sarah, and they have been together for 17 years.
Pastor Ng’ang’a and Pastor Ezekiel are among the most popular and controversial preachers in Kenya, who often make headlines for their lavish lifestyles and scandals such as shakahola deaths that saw him at some time get arrested and arraigned in court of law.
