Commuters on a bus were recently treated to an unconventional sermon that has since ignited a firestorm on social media. A female pastor, filmed preaching in a public service vehicle, has gone viral for her unique interpretation of the Bible.

She claimed that the prophet Moses married a woman from the Kisii tribe and urged her audience to embrace dating people from that community.

The preacher, who was seen addressing a captive audience of passengers, used the platform to challenge tribal dating biases. She questioned why some people refuse to date members of the Kisii community, despite what she described as a biblical precedent.

"You say you will not date a Kisii? Moses married a Kisii. Say, who did Moses marry?"

A Scriptural Slip?

During her sermon, the pastor attempted to back her claims by citing specific books of the Bible. She directed passengers to the "Book of Numbers" (Hesabu) but then confused the audience by mentioning "Maths 12."

It is widely believed she was attempting to refer to Numbers 12, which describes Moses marrying a Cushite woman, but her slip of the tongue and tribal substitution did not go unnoticed.

The preacher also spoke about relationships more broadly. She suggested that while some women are in church praying for a man, they should be careful not to go into relationships with what others have dumped.

"There’s a lady here fasting and praying to get a man, yet she’s not laughing. Whose man will you get? The one that I dumped? What I have dumped is what you want to carry?" she asked.

Social Media Erupts

Once the footage hit X (formerly Twitter), the reaction was swift and largely sceptical. While bus preaching is a common sight at Nairobi’s "Ambassador" bus station, many users felt this particular sermon crossed into the realm of comedy.

Geoffrey Moturi (@cbs_ke) was among the first to share the clip, writing: "Aren't we? This bus pastors tho! Ati Musa in the bible married a Kisii Lady... Hata Kama nikutafuta unga! Huyu ni comedian."

Others focused on the preacher’s confusing citation of "Maths 12." An X user with the handle IN-LAW (@COLLINS12907245) simply posted, "Maths twelivu," mocking the verbal blunder.

Meanwhile, Kim Phil (@kimeli774) questioned the very existence of the references used, stating, "Hata kitabu enyewe haipatikani Kwa bibilia. Et kitabu ya Hesabu... Seriously!!"

Mixed Reactions from the Public

The comment section became a mix of humour, tribal commentary, and frustration over the nature of public preaching. Some users, like Asif gaya (@Raia1shot), were less than amused, labelling the performance a "Public nuisance."

However, others found the local context familiar. Patience Wanjiru (@Peshy_E) noted that the pastor is a regular fixture in the city, commenting, "Huyu huwa kwa City Hoppa hapo Ambassador."
