THE CORNER KICK | The Heart-Breaking Stories Of Gloria Muliro And Betty Bayo With Their Unfaithful Men Of The Cloth And The Lessons Kenyan Ladies Can Learn From Them
Betty Bayo and Gloria Muliro are a perfect case of sweet ladies who fell on the hands of monsters, got devoured, sucked and left with their bones marrow to die.
The country woke up to very disturbing news that one of Kenya’s most talented gospel singers, Gloria Muliro, had called it a day in her marriage five years into it. Why? Infidelity.
Betty Bayo and Gloria Muliro have the same story line, their headlines read almost the same. There are a number of things we can compare between the two, from their music to their marriages to their break-up.
Another comparison we can draw is that the two songbirds claim to be saved. They have religiously remained so in the eyes of the world despite what they say are daily challenges that try to swindle them away from the right way.
Betty and Gloria have been married. And this is where our story begins.
The two singers have been married to men of the cloth. Mention Betty Bayo and Pastor Victor Kanyari pops up. Mention Gloria Muliro and you hear your neighbor talk of Pastor Eric Omba.
Well, these are the two men giving these two sweet ladies sleepless nights.
It was October last year that the world was told what was going on in a church in Nyamakima area, Nairobi. A rogue preacher, preying on his unknowing congregants with verve and vigour, was exposed on how he conducted his rogue activities.
This was Pastor Victor Kanyari, who also adds up as a self-proclaimed Prophet and Doctor. The expose by KTN’s Mohamed Ali and John Allan Namu left the country in awe, not knowing what to do next.
This was Betty Bayo’s husband. Pastor Kanyari was using all means to siphon money from his faithful. The potassium permanganate theory was born out of him. He must have been good in sciences despite him dropping out of school in form two.
What followed next was a flurry of unanswered questions that were directed at Betty Bayo. The singer set off on a mission to clear her name. She knocked on different media houses’ doors, including Ghafla Kenya to clear the dusty air. She was never involved in her husband’s rogue activities.
What did you do when your husband grabbed a handful of a boob live on camera? Betty never answered this question. All she could say was she was in deep prayer for direction.
And even before the Kanyari-Betty saga dust settles down completely, another one has rose after a heavy sandstorm.
Gloria Muliro, a veteran gospel singer in Kenya is on the run after a bitter break-up with her five year husband.
The singer is believed to have ended the relationship with the man of the cloth after it just became unbearable. A relationship characterized by lack of respect and infidelity, Gloria has finally decided that enough is enough and has opted to tell the world the hell she has been going through.
The singer has revealed how her husband slept carelessly with girls who some served in his church, Omba Ministries, behind her wife Gloria.
Gloria narrates how she learnt Omba’s behavior on the first night of their wedding and how she has kept cool despite going through hell for five good years.
Omba is described as a womanizer and a marital dictator who embezzles funds accrued from Gloria’s music. So it is no surprise that even when Gloria was singing Sitolia with Willy Paul, she was actually crying bitterly behind the scenes.
Her man of the cloth had made their home hell for her.
Gloria’s story is so heartbreaking considering how she has managed to garner her own legion, who know nothing about her except the music she gives them.
As I write this article, Gloria and her husband are separated. For good. They don’t stay together.
So the big question we ask is, what has come over men of the cloth? Why all these squabbles and scandals? The kerfuffle they are causing in their marriages is so disturbing.
Most ladies go for men of the cloth believing that they are down to earth, polite, understanding, and above all, saved. These, ladies believe, are the qualities that shape a real man. I mean a loving husband.
However, from the two incidences and many other unreported sagas, it is crystal clear that this is a misinformed priority and decision a lady can make. Not all men of the cloth are saints.
In fact it is turning out to be that these gentlemen who humble themselves through religion are the worst creatures God ever put on earth as far as relationships are concerned.
The other day I watched a documentary of how a pair of bears can become romantic. To an extent I asked myself, what has come of human beings that they cannot find these simple but very essential things necessary in their relationships?
Personally I feel disturbed that Gloria is one very unhappy woman considering how I value her music. And beauty. She may not be perfect either but did she deserve this, for sure?
I am writing to advise Kenyan ladies…Umdhaniaye ndiye kumbe siye. Let men of the cloth marry their own women of the cloth. Betty and Gloria’s cases are just an example of what many ladies are going through but cannot speak out because they don’t want to ruin their reputation as men of the cloth.
Be well informed, be advised, behold, they will come in my name, doing great and marvelous things. Only fools will fall into their traps. But the wise will be able to discern between what is right and that which is wrong.
Behold…
