Fr. Simon: The "Dashing Man of the Cloth" Setting Kenyan Social Media Ablaze

Kenya’s social media is still buzzing with laughter and holy hilarity over the ordination of Fr. Simon, dubbed the “newest priest in town” online.

This dashing man of the cloth, decked out in a pristine robe with a divine embroidered design, has sparked a wildfire of reactions on X that are equal parts hilarious and outrageous. 

The post by Joan (@Itswambu1) featuring Fr. Simon’s ordination video has racked up over 3,000 comments, with Kenyans turning the comments section into a comedy club.

“Kenyans will never see heaven huyu ni father WA mungu mnashow ivi,” Joan quipped, setting the tone for a thread that’s equal parts reverence and roast.

The real LOLs kicked in when users started comparing Fr. Simon to local celebs like Mulamwah and Stevo Simple Boy, with one user joking, “Mulamwa na Stevo Simple Boy catching strays.”

Apparently, this priest’s glow-up is so epic it’s stealing the spotlight from Kenya’s comedic icons!

Comments like “Kwanza anakaa my type exactly” from @Casandrafaith25 and “Sasa huyo ametuacha” from @J_I_M_M_Y_3 suggest Fr. Simon’s good looks have left some heartbroken hopefuls plotting a seminary invasion.

One user even declared, “Acha niingie seminary,” proving this holy heartthrob might just boost vocations faster than a miracle! With Roman Catholicism claiming 20.6% of Kenya’s population, the church might need to brace for a flood of “devout” new recruits.

The humour doesn’t stop there. Fans are playfully dragging Fr. Simon’s past into the mix, with a classmate gushing, “my classmate congratulations once again navenye alikuwaanapenda madem ex wako wakikuona watafurahi sana coz now you’re man of God, May God protect you all the time.”

Meanwhile, others are begging, “Ungesema ako parish gani tuendeee maombi hi uchumi mbaya,” turning a sacred moment into a quest for the hottest new prayer spot.
