Gabriel Oguda Early Life, Background and Age

Gabriel Oguda (age 40), was born to a devoted Catholic family on the 6th of May, 1983 in Kenya. According to the Media expert, His parents named him Bildad, after Bildad Kaggia Mwaganu, who was a popular Kenyan politician, activist and nationalist. But the Catholic priest at Barkorwa Parish refused to honor the name because it was not a Saint name in the Catholic Faith.

The Parish Priest upon baptism named him Gabriel, which is an Hebrew new meaning “God is my Strength”. Then the priest sprinkled water on his head and baptised him. Ever since then Gabriel has been an outstanding child amongst his family.

I was born on Friday, 6th May 1983. My mother says there was consensus to give me the first name Bildad, after Bildad Kaggia, but the Catholic Priest at the Barkorwa Parish had other ideas. | https://t.co/y9LIRVJePX pic.twitter.com/6EqujeAciS
