 Welcome back to the A-Circuit So in the morning we were asking you the question Would you allow your girlfriend Your girlfriend to sit on your boyfriend's lap Or vice versa So I will be sampling some of your comments But before we do that, I have a very interesting guest today with me This man knows much more mother tongue Than you, some of you guys know your mother tongue Like he can speak kikuyu, he can speak jaluo Like so many things, he's so amazing And he sings those languages Like na joha tuingine wenu You cannot even speak your mother tongue Comfortably, this is a challenge This is a challenge I'm speaking about the one and only Igwatu And we will be speaking to him right about now Welcome Thank you, thank you Muno I told you, I told you He speaks better than some of you speak So I was listening to people around And some of them say that you look like Jesus God He looks like Jesus Is it true? Have you gotten such comments? Ya, I have gotten them I think that maybe God had me mysterious way I was never a preacher I became a preacher here in Kenya I'm a minister of gospel and gospel arts And most likely through your gospel vernacular Because I was in some churches There are many multi-cultural backgrounds from home And then I was taken to the countryside In this matter that I grew up as a preacher And then I went to Kizumu, Tuneiri To all of those places And from there you listen more to the mother tongue Than Swahili, so I think that there I got it So you don't know Swahili so much? No Sometimes I can guess because of the mother tongue What they are talking about Who gave you the name Duati And why do they call you Duati? Duati is the kikuyu name Particularly I must tell By the grace of God I must say thing To two people in the social media I don't know if I can mention people of other plants Television station Jave Koinange and George Hill Both of them coincidentally called me Duati At the same time Which for me is a bless And I was But in the first program that I appeared here in Kenya Was in KBC In club one So yes for me the total country has blessed me And I receive it with humility And now wherever I go I was in Lake Elementaita In the crossroad And there is a papa from long From the garden of his house came running Kamaa I said guys this is too much Bless So how long how many years have you been in Kenya? Approximately 7 years Who teaches you all these languages?
