Tuesday,
October 29, 2024 – Controversial preacher James Maina Ng’ang’a
of Neno Evangelism Church has banned unmarried female congregants from
attending his church after he gave them a six-month marriage ultimatum.
Ng’ang’a, in a recent address, said the ultimatum had ended and questioned why some women in his congregation
were still unmarried.
Ng’ang’a has been vocal about his belief that
dating should not exceed six months before leading to marriage.
He stated that as their spiritual leader, he
feels responsible for guiding them towards stable family lives.
He also criticized prolonged dating and casual
relationships, advocating for marriage and family as the proper path for his
followers.
“There
should be a six-month ultimatum. I do not want people to waste time or to have
their time wasted without getting married.
“I am giving my spiritual kids six
months to get married. Why should I keep you here if you are not enjoying your
life?
“If I am your spiritual Father, why shouldn’t I warn you? I am talking to
my flock.
“I do not want to see people sleeping around. I want to see people
married with a wife and their kids like I do,” he said.
The renowned televangelist extended his advice to men and women alike,
urging abstinence and discouraging promiscuity, which he believes can lead to
dissatisfaction in future relationships.
“For
those who have not jumped from one man to another, stay that way.
“Imagine being
married to Kamau, and before that, you dated a Kisii, Kamba, and a Luo.
“This
‘microphone’ testing gets into your head.
“When you get married to a man whose
‘microphone’ isn’t loud, you start complaining,” he added.
