Pastor James Ng’ang’a Warns Men Against Marrying Young, Beautiful Women

Controversial televangelist James Ng’ang’a of Neno Evangelism has warned Kenyan men against marrying the most beautiful women, saying that their marriage would be in trouble.

Ng’ang’a avers that marrying a beautiful woman exposes one to conflict with other men, who will be awed by her beauty.

The man of the cloth argues that the beauty of an ideal wife should range between 10 and 15 percent.

“Tafuta ng’ombe kama wewe ile unaona inakula nyasi, usichukuwe hawa waschana wadogo,” says Ng’ang’a in a viral video.

He adds: “Usitake mrembo sana, tafuta mtu ako na urembo maybe 10 to 15%. UKitafuta mrembo mtashinda mkibishana na wanaume.” 

In a past interview, Ng’ang’a disclosed that he married a young woman following the death of his first wife. The clergyman noted that settled on Mercy Murugi, who is half his age because he wanted someone he would enjoy life with and one to look after him once he grows old.

“Unajua kwa nini nikaoa mke mdogo, kwa sababu nikiwa mzee atanisaidia labda nisimeze dawa za presssure mbili ama tatu,” said Ng’ang’a.

He added that some members of his church were opposed to him marrying Murugi, who was a university student at the time. Murugi is a daughter to one of his congregants.
