In a dramatic blend of Kenyan football rivalry, showmanship, and spirituality, comedian and activist Eric Omondi recently led a delegation of die-hard Manchester United fans to Prophet Victor Kanyari’s church.
The mission? To secure heavenly intervention ahead of their highly anticipated showdown against fierce rivals Arsenal on August 9th.

Pastor Kanyari, infamous across the country for his historic KSh 310 mbegu (seed offering) doctrine, could not hold back his surprise when the Red Devils faithful stepped forward.
Addressing the congregation, Kanyari lightheartedly acknowledged his past reputation before making a grand announcement about the comedian’s generosity.
“Watu husema Kanyari huchukua mbegu ya 310, lakini Eric Omondi leo amepanda mbegu ya 25,000,” Kanyari declared to a cheering sanctuary.
By laying down KSh 25,000, Omondi elevated the stakes from a routine Sunday service to an explosive spectacle, ensuring that Manchester United’s plight on the pitch received top-tier pulpit attention.
Spiritual Warfare: “Arsenal Fans Went to a Mganga”
Never one to shy away from theatrical declarations, Pastor Kanyari assured the Manchester United contingent that victory was guaranteed.
However, he accompanied the prophecy with a wild accusation against their adversaries.
According to Kanyari, Arsenal fans had allegedly resorted to dark arts ahead of the clash. He claimed the Gunners’ fanbase had sought out a traditional medicine man (mganga) to swing the odds in their favor.
Kanyari insisted that standard tactics wouldn’t cut it against such supernatural opposition, framing the upcoming football match as a full-blown battle between light and darkness.
“Sio Juju, Ni Maombi”
Sharing clips of the fervent prayer session online, Eric Omondi captioned the viral video with his signature flair: “Sio juju ni maombi” (It’s not witchcraft, it’s prayers).
The video quickly set social media ablaze, igniting fierce debates between football enthusiasts and netizens alike. While Manchester United fans rallied behind the spiritual booster shot, rival Arsenal supporters fired back with banter, mocking the reliance on pulpit miracles to fix tactical flaws on the pitch.
Whether divine intervention or sheer psychological warfare, Eric Omondi and Pastor Kanyari managed to turn a routine football derby into one of the most talked-about pop culture moments in Kenya. All eyes now remain firmly on the pitch to see if a KSh 25,000 seed can truly deliver three points.
