Woman claiming to be Pastor Nganga's first born daughter emerges

 

A woman claiming to be Pastor Ng'anga's firstborn daughter has emerged.

The woman Naomi Wangari Maina spoke to Tuko.co.ke, about meeting him for the first time.He did not raise her.

"I got to know him recently as a grown-up. We know each other because he looked for me, we live as father and daughter and we respect each other."

She was raised by a stepdad

"In the village we were infested with jiggers and we wore torn clothes"

Naomi was told by a relative about her biological dad

" She told me, you know your father is so and so, she is the one who made me look for him. "

Ng'ang'a was also looking for her

"He organized a crusade in Kinangop. He was employed as a herdsman there so he went around asking everyone and that is how he got my number. Just the other day. At first, I didn't believe him I thought it was a scammer"

She confessed how she was drawn to his crusades and even bought his music, never knowing he was her father.

"We used to love him, He was a lovable spirit. He called me and said 'Wangari' I asked him who he was, and he said James Ng'ang'a. Then I asked from where. He asked if I knew Neno Evangelism.. I hung up because I didn't believe him Someone you used to attend his crusades is calling you? Why would he call me? He called back and said I have been given your number by your uncle "

Apostle Ng'ang'a assured her

"I started connecting the dots. My aunt had told me my biological dad was once employed as a herdsman in a specific place When we were talking my dad said I'm at that person's specific place so I connected."

Naomi confronted her mother about it

"I told her the whole story and she connected the dots. She brushed me off, ebu rudi weh, wacha hizo mambo"

Pastor Ng'ang'a planned to meet her but she was hesitant.

"Siwezi enda kumeet, na akiniua? It was dark I decided not to go because I had not met him before so I switched off my phone. "

Naomi met him the following day.

"We were so happy to see each other I have never been that happy. I felt like I had met God."

Mary has an ailing child and struggling to offset bills. Her son Jonathan has eye cancer.

She said people don't understand why her father who prays to heal sick people can't pray for her son.

She says people said she was cursed.

"If I decide to start blaming, I will blame everyone including my mum I will blame my father and siblings, I don't want to take that route.

I want to believe in God because the Bible says he who depends on humans is cursed I only depend on God."

She says it is easy to get bitter but she won't go down that route

""It is very easy to divert and that will make me bitter. I will develop pressure and diabetes, I need to take care of my son.

My father could be praying for my children very early in the morning but I cannot come here and say at the end of the day he is called Jonathan Wise Meangi, not Maina, "

She urged Kenyans not to make it a big deal

"I think the world is like that people can easily divert and forget the point. The point is about my son and not my dad"
