On a tumultuous marriage, Pastor James Nganga, founder of Neno Evangelism, has shared a shocking revelation about his past. In a YouTube interview, he revealed that he once performed a bizarre ritual to get back his wife, Murugi Mwangi.

According to Nganga, the couple's first few years of marriage were marked by constant fighting, with his wife leaving him on several occasions. In one instance, she packed her bags and left, prompting Nganga to take drastic measures.

Nganga took a piece of his wife's clothing and a photo, and hid them in a safe, along with an offering to God. He then prayed, 'I asked God to ensure that my wife gets back to me. He should not let the lion lose its catch that easily.'

Months later, when the couple reconciled, Nganga showed his wife the contents of the safe, including her dress and photo. The couple eventually got back together and are now happily married.

Nganga's comments were made in an interview posted on YouTube on June 8, 2020.
