KIIR OFFERS AN ESTATE HOME TO REV. NATASHA FOR EXCHANGE OF IO’S OYET’S TESTI-KOLS.

Eye Radio By: Pasta Abunerry, Ayella 4-2-2026 Torit In South Sudan, meeting Kiir is like threading a needle through a horse’s nose. In fact, it is even easier to do that. It is like trying to touch your nose with your tongue; the distance seems shorter, but it is actually farther than you think. The only people with the easiest access to the J1 Palace are bre-ast-ful women like Natasha and other foreign profit-making prophets. Ask Da-Ter Manyang, the citizens’ rights activist, who knows and understands this reality. In her glamorous Edenic gown and splendid, soft-style serpent walk, Natasha surprised King Kiir naked on the day. It was like a drama. No guards could stand at attention because of Natasha’s mabele that hovered over her chest like ripe papayas calling for knives. Her nyash danced like Lomude, the Pojulu cultural celebrity; every Adut on TikTok wishes to bang. The scent of her perfume burned the hearts of the guards like the flame of the Eastern Equatoria gold that controlle...

REV. DR NATASHA'S CHURCH SELLS THE SO-CALLED "ANOINTING OIL" FOR $1,500 A BOTTLE.

"A truthful witness saves life, but one who breathes out lies is deceitful" (Proverbs 14:25) By Pastor Abunerry Ayella. 3-2-2026 Torit When I wrote an article called "Juba, Be Careful of Rev. Dr Natasha's Church", I wanted to warn my fellow citizens about how Lucy Natasha uses her church to exploit and manipulate people. It breaks my heart that Jubans still do not listen to people who warn them about false prophets who dress like sheep and carry microphones, perfumes, and mobile money accounts. By many accounts, Lucy Natasha’s past in Kenya was riddled with controversy, financial debts, and accusations of religious deception. Kenyans described her as a spiritual entrepreneur who converted desperation into capital and prayer into profit. The Kenyan Gen Z joked that her spiritual ambition exceeded her financial capacity, an irony for a prophetess of prosperity. Her ministry has been associated with glamour, luxury, and celebrity pastor culture. Whether one calls ...

THE CLERICAL COLLAR: A Divine Authority or a Distinctive Measure?

By Pastor Abunerry, Ayella. 2-2-2026 Torit When a cleric wears a collar, they may feel divinely immeasurable. They usurp authority as if they are next to Jesus in line. As a result, they tend to overlook their colleagues who do not wear collars. Yet the very colleagues they overlook often outperform them in many areas. Although some of these clerics adorn themselves with cassocks and collars, or gowns, they do not know what transpired or when the collar was invented. This article briefly recounts the origin of the collar and its purpose, which is not biblical but rather a distinctive attire meant to distinguish clerics from laypeople. In 1867, Rev. McLeod, a Presbyterian minister in Scotland, invented the first clerical collar. He combined a detachable collar with a white band of cloth to create the distinctive collar worn by clerics today. Before that, Reformed pastors wore a scarf called a cravat , which was the precursor to the modern collar. The purpose of the collar was simply t...

A WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING: Juba, Be Careful of The Rev. Dr. Lucy Natasha’s Church.

By Pastor Abunerry Ayella. 1-2-2026 Torit Between 2015 and 2017, I wrote to and advised one of my OBs and close friends to stop praising and following Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, warning that he was not a genuine prophet. My friend dismissed my concerns, called me names, and unfriended me. Years later, Bushiri’s story unfolded publicly: he was wanted in South Africa to answer allegations of money laundering and sexual misconduct, and he fled back to Malawi, where he continues to exploit unsuspecting followers. Sadly, many South Sudanese have not learned from such incidents, even when the realities are well known. Today, Rev. Dr Lucy Natasha launched her ministry in Juba, with the Deputy Governor of Central Equatoria State as the guest speaker. One must ask: Does the Deputy Governor know about the controversies surrounding her ministry in Kenya? Not long ago, Rev. Natasha reportedly closed her sanctuary in Kenya due to financial challenges and announced that services would be conducted ...

POVERTY DOES NOT DETERMINE SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP: Challenging a Prosperity Ideology in the Church

By Pastor Abunerry Ayella. 28-1-2026 South Sudan Recently, social media has been awash with debate following a statement attributed to a Nigerian pastor: “I will not follow a poor pastor.” In response, Dr Abel Damina publicly challenged this claim in a five-minute online video, rightly questioning both its theology and its pastoral integrity. I followed his attempt to correct the statement with keen interest. Unfortunately, this controversy exposes a deeper problem within contemporary Christianity, namely, the distortion of spiritual leadership and the identity of the so-called “man of God”. This article offers a biblical and theological rebuttal to the idea that poverty disqualifies a pastor from spiritual leadership. A sound theologian is not overly concerned with material accumulation, nor does God measure spiritual authority by wealth. Scripture does not encourage pastors or believers to prioritise material gain. Jesus Himself did not anchor leadership on financial capacity. H...

THE CROSS-ROADS POLITICS: The Dilemma of Sgt. Agel R. Machar

Courtesy. Divorce your wife to buy your oil money rights. 27-1-2026 No doubt, the current system has been appointing its loyalists through a trial-and-error approach. By the time of this writing, three-quarters of the party adherents have already tasted, or even corrupted, the oil money. But why has Sgt Agel Ring Machar remained a beggar in the Konykonyo market? A young and energetic politician who throws punches at any competitor fearlessly and fiercely, Agel deserves the oil money. I have never attended any of his leadership sittings, yet his voice is impossible to ignore. Among the first critics to oppose the system was Agel, who joined the opposition after the 2013 crisis. He later served as the outspoken press secretary of H.E. Taban Deng Gai. Soon after, Agel’s political stance shifted from opposition to the very system he once opposed. Above all, his return was fuelled by the amalgamation agreement. The main SPLM party welcomed him back as a gesture of patriotism. Nonetheles...

IS THE SOUTH SUDAN COUNCIL OF CHURCHES MONETISED OR POLITICISED? Examining Its Silence amid Ongoing National Turmoil

Use for Illustrations only 25-1-2026 Torit The Call to Serve Religious institutions have historically played a critical role in defending human dignity, advocating for justice, and mediating peace during times of political crisis. In Uganda, for example, the Interreligious Council of Uganda (IRCU) demonstrated this moral responsibility when, three days after the recent presidential elections, its leaders visited the raided home of opposition figure Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine). Their public act of solidarity, offering encouragement and prayer to the affected family, affirmed the Church’s pastoral and prophetic mandate, even as political persecution persisted. The Sudan Council of Churches, established around 1964, was founded on core principles that included advocacy for good governance, equitable representation, and peace and reconciliation. For decades, the Council upheld these values and played a visible role in national struggles, including the liberation movement that culminate...
