Comedienne Mammito has sparked widespread online reactions following a new skit in which she plays a fictional clergyman, whom netizens have taken to be Prophet David Owuor.
In a viral video seen by TNX Africa, the comedian appears in an all-white suit, complete with an afro hairstyle and a fake beard, as she assumes the role.
The skit opens with several actors bowing before her, while she refers to herself as “the mighty prophet.”
Others are seen laying clothes on the ground for her to step on.
She begins by saying, “I have added you to heaven’s WhatsApp, it’s called Heaven Express. I speak to Jesus directly.”
Mammito then engages actors posing as congregants in a series of comedic exchanges.
In one scene, she asks a woman to offer a car in exchange for blessings, despite having already given a piece of land, in a satirical take on alleged exploitative practices by some self-styled preachers.
“It is you who gave me that land in Kamulu because of problems in your marriage. If you want your marriage to last longer, what else can you add? Do you have a new car? Bring it too so that I can talk to God for you,” she says.
She also tells a male congregant to cut his dreadlocks, citing strict requirements for entry into heaven.
“And you, that hair should be changed. That is not hair suitable for entering the kingdom,” Mammito says.
The skit features a gospel soundtrack in the background and has drawn mixed reactions online. Some users shared warning messages in circulating clips, while others defended the comedian’s right to creative expression.
“Mammito, we are telling you this; it seems you saw your fame fading and decided to shine using the mightiest prophet of the Lord. That video you posted, pull it down, and this is not a request. You cannot mock or mimic the mightiest prophet of God, or else you risk losing your accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Anyway, we have told you,” a Kenyan says in one video.
As of now, Mammito has neither taken down the skit nor issued a public response.
The Ministry of Repentance and Holiness has also not commented on the matter.
On X, Ivy Muthe wrote, “How can she disrespect and ridicule such a powerful man of God so carelessly? She will soon see the consequences of her actions and learn the hard way how this will end for her.”
Another user, Elizabeth, responded, “Nothing will happen to her. We need to see those people issuing that warning. How do Kenyans believe that man is God? How and when did he become that mighty?”
