Yesterday, a video of American preacher T.D. Jakes Sunday sermon, in which he made some remarks about Kenya, went viral.
While making a point on where donations given to his ministry go to, the good bishop said that he was supporting some water projects in Kenya, and also a hospital in Nairobi.
That was what he probably meant to say, but the wording brought a whole new interpretation.
This was exactly what he said. “And the natives all over Kenya drink water because of this ministry.. And the hospital in Nairobi survives because of this ministry.”
Here’s that video.
Kenyans, in their characteristic style, sent thousands of tweets condemning Jakes for ‘claiming he supplies Kenya’s water’.
Here are some of them.
That @BishopJakes, I am not sure he knows where Kenya is on the world map, that’s the only way to explain his severe ignorance. – @MizMuli
