Today, social media has been abuzz with a trending video of Pastor Franklin Mondo Mugisha of Empowerment Christian Centre Church International dissing and bashing all those that ‘waste’ their time in gyms working out.
“I’ve never seen a man with six-packs who is a billionaire. He is not there. They are just bodyguards for billionaires. They are all broke; they are all using boda bodas and taxis for transport. All their brains are in the chests,” Mondo said while appearing in a TV interview.
Mugisha’s statements have been received with mixed reactions. Some people have dug up his photos while working out and mocked him for preaching against something he practices, and maybe he is speaking like that because he has failed to cut down his weight however much he works out.
“You people think Pastor Mondo Mugisha doesn’t work out? He is also not happy with his weight. He admires those with six-packs. Actually he should use his billionaire money (if at all he has) to go cut his fats. I find his utterances are from an ignorant perspective, he is ideally promoting obesity,” said Abdul Wasike, KFM radio presenter and Head of Communications at Vipers SC.
NTV Uganda health reporter Walter Mwesigye said, “His argument was that he doesn’t know a billionaire with six-packs, an argument so shallow. We have many of them if he really took time to think before speaking otherwise it looks like he was defending his excessively accumulated adipose tissue!”
