“We Talk Too Much”- Oga Obinna Defends Pastor Kanyari Amid Parenting Backlash

Media personality Oga Obinna has come to the defense of Pastor Victor Kanyari amid growing public backlash over his parenting style, arguing that the preacher’s outspoken nature has made him an easy target for public judgment.

Speaking on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Obinna drew parallels between himself and Kanyari, suggesting that being vocal in the public eye often leads people to make harsh assumptions without understanding the full context.

“Kanyari is like me. We talk too much and forget ourselves, then people judge us according to that without knowing everything,” Obinna said.

Addressing the broader debate around custody and child-rearing, Obinna advocated for a middle ground between “gentle parenting” and firm discipline. He emphasized that raising children requires a careful balance between being compassionate and taking control as an authority figure.

However, Obinna pointed to fatherly presence as Kanyari’s primary hurdle in the ongoing dispute with Tash.

“If he was constantly available, angekuwa na some control over the child,” Obinna noted, adding that Kanyari’s frequent public commentary has invited intense scrutiny—unlike Tash, who maintains a lower profile online.

Obinna urged the preacher to put the child’s emotional stability and long-term welfare ahead of personal pride or public opinion. While acknowledging that leaving the child with Tash might preserve immediate happiness, he noted that every parental decision ultimately carries trade-offs regarding upbringing and discipline.

Concluding his remarks, Obinna stressed that navigating family disputes under the public eye is inherently complex, cautioning that any move Kanyari makes next must prioritize the child’s best interests over media pressure.
