Meddy arashimwa na Kitoko bibarwa  kubera ivugabutumwa akora kuri murandasi nyuma yo kwiyegurira IMANA

Nyuma y’imyaka irenga icumi aba mu Bwongereza, umuhanzi w’Umunyarwanda Mpuzamahanga Kitoko Bibarwa yagarutse gutura mu Rwanda, azanye ubutumwa bushya n’imbaraga nshya mu muziki. Ariko icyatangaje benshi mu byo yavuze ni uko yagarutse anagaragaza uburyo ashimira cyane inshuti ye ya kera, Ngabo Medard Jobert uzwi nka Meddy, kubera uburyo yahinduye ubuzima bwe, akaba ubu asigaye ari mu bikorwa by’ivugabutumwa rikorerwa kuri murandasi.

Mu kiganiro Kitoko yagiranye n’itangazamakuru ku Cyumweru tariki ya 9 Ugushyingo 2025, yemeje ko Meddy yashinze urusengero rukorera online, rukora ibikorwa by’ivugabutumwa buri wa Gatandatu, rukitabirwa n’abantu benshi barimo n’abahanzi bagenzi be.

Kitoko yagize ati:

“Meddy yari asanzwe ari umuntu usenga, yari ataravuga ngo ndakijijwe, ariko nkanjye twabaga turi kumwe yari umurokore. Ubu ni umugabo ufite umuryango mwiza. Ikirenzeho, afite urusengero rukorera kuri murandasi, turasenga buri wa Gatandatu.”

Ibi byagaragaje ko Meddy atakiri umuhanzi gusa, ahubwo ari umuntu uri gukoresha izina rye mu gusakaza ubutumwa bw’Imana, ibintu bitari byitezwe ku muntu benshi bari bazi nk’umunyamuziki w’indirimbo z’urukundo nka Slowly, Holy Spirit, My Vow n’izindi nyinshi.

Ivugabutumwa rya Meddy  kuri murandasi

Nk’uko Kitoko yabigarutseho, iri vugabutumwa rya Meddy ribera kuri murandasi (online ministry), rikaba ryaratangiye nk’uburyo bwo gusangiza abantu ibyo yize mu rugendo rwe rw’umwuka. Ubu rikura umunsi ku wundi ku mbuga nka YouTube na Instagram, aho Meddy asigaye avugira amagambo y’ubuzima, asaba abantu “kugira ubumuntu, kubabarira no gukunda Imana kuruta byose.”

Abamukurikira bavuga ko Meddy yahindutse umuyobozi w’umwuka mu buryo butunguranye, kuko ubu atakivuga cyane ku ndirimbo nshya, ahubwo akibanda ku gusaba abantu kwihana no guhindura inzira zabo. Mu mashusho ye ashyira kuri YouTube, akunze kuvuga amagambo akomeye nk’aya:

“Imana yampinduye mu gihe nari nkeneye gukira imbere mu mutima. Sinakiriye Yesu nk’igisubizo cy’akazi, ahubwo nk’ubuzima bushya.”

Ibi bihamya ko Meddy yamaze kwiyegurira Imana byimazeyo, akava mu rugendo rw’umuziki rusanzwe, akinjira mu buzima bwo gufasha abandi kumenya icyo kuba umukristo bivuze.

Mu gusobanura uko byagenze, Kitoko yavuze ko we na Meddy bamaze imyaka myinshi ari inshuti z’ukuri kuva mu bihe byabo bya kera i Butare.

Ati:

“Twahuriye i Butare duhita tuvuga tuti reka dukorane ibintu byinshi. Twagiye no kuririmbira muri Afurika y’Epfo mu gikombe cy’Isi, icyo gihe badutoyemo, ariko byatumye turushaho kumenyana.”

Icyo gihe, Meddy yari akiri umuhanzi ukizamuka ufite indirimbo Amayobera, mu gihe Kitoko we yari amaze kubaka izina ku ndirimbo nka Ikirungo na Aho Uri Hose.

Kuva icyo gihe, ngo bakomeje gukomeza ubucuti bwabo — aho buri umwe yajyaga gusura undi mu gihugu yari arimo. Kitoko yagiye muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika kumusura, Meddy nawe akajya mu Bwongereza kumureba.

“Umbajije mu bantu twakoranye indirimbo nagarura Meddy. Meddy ni inshuti yanjye kurusha uko turi abahanzi, tuvugana hafi buri cyumweru,” ni ko Kitoko yabivuze.

Meddy, umaze imyaka akorera muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, yashyingiwe mu 2021 n’umugore we Mimi Mehfira, basezerana imbere y’Imana muri kiliziya yo muri Dallas, Texas. Ubu bafitanye umwana umwe, kandi Meddy akunze kugaragara avuga ku buryo kuba umugabo n’umubyeyi byamwigishije byinshi ku rukundo rw’Imana.

Mu nyigisho ze, akunze kwibanda ku muryango nk’ishingiro ry’ukwizera. Ati:

“Iyo utubahirije inshingano zawe nk’umugabo cyangwa umugore, uba wubatse urusengero mu rugo rwawe.”

Ibi byatumye Meddy aba icyitegererezo ku rubyiruko rwinshi rwari rumumenyereye nk’umunyamuziki w’indirimbo z’urukundo, none rukamubonamo umuyobozi w’umwuka.

Kitoko ashimira ihinduka rya Meddy nk’isomo rikomeye

Kitoko yavuze ko ibyo Meddy agezeho ari isomo rikomeye ku bahanzi benshi. Avuga ko kera abahanzi benshi bibwiraga ko kugira izina bihagije, ariko ubu Meddy yerekanye ko “ubuzima nyabwo butangira igihe umuntu ahinduye umutima.”

“Nk’ubu Meddy yabaye umuntu wihariye. Yatandukanye n’ibintu byinshi byo ku isi, arangwa n’ubupfura, no guha agaciro Imana. Ni isomo rikomeye ku rubyiruko rwose rwashidikanyaga ku kwizera,” Kitoko yabivuze.

Yongeyeho ko Meddy ari umwe mu bantu bakomeje kumutera imbaraga mu rugendo rushya rw’umwuka n’umuziki we. Ati:

“Iyo duteranye online ku wa Gatandatu, ubona ko ari ibihe bifite umumaro. Turasenga, tugasangira ijambo ry’Imana, kandi birafasha cyane.”

Ubutumwa bwa Meddy ku bahanzi bagenzi be

Mu kiganiro kimwe Meddy yagiranye n’abafana mu kwezi kwa Nzeri 2024, yavuze ko umuziki we utazongera kuba “uw’isi gusa,” ahubwo uzaba “inzira yo kuvuga iby’Imana mu buryo bugezweho.”

Yagize ati:

“Ntabwo ngomba kubura indirimbo zo gushimisha abantu, ariko icyo nifuza ni uko buri jambo ndirimba ryaba rifite icyerekezo cy’umwuka. Ndashaka ko abantu bumva ijwi ryanjye rikabibutsa ko hari Imana ibakunda.”

Iri jambo ryafashije abahanzi benshi bari barahagaritse umuziki kubera impamvu zitandukanye, bamwe bakagaruka bavuga ko bashishikajwe no guhuza impano zabo n’ubutumwa bw’Imana.

Kitoko nawe yiteguye gusangiza abanyarwanda ubuzima bushya

Nyuma yo kugaruka mu Rwanda, Kitoko yavuze ko yiteguye gusangiza abanyarwanda ibitekerezo bishya n’ubutumwa bwiza yakuye mu buzima yabayemo mu Bwongereza.

“Ngarutse mfite byinshi byo gukora, harimo indirimbo nshya n’ibitaramo. Ariko nifuza ko buri kintu nzakora kizaba gifite ubutumwa bufasha umuntu wese kwiyubaka mu buryo bw’umwuka n’ubuzima busanzwe.”

Yavuze kandi ko ateganya kuzitabira igitaramo gikomeye azahuriramo na Davido muri BK Arena ku wa 15 Ukuboza 2025, cyatewe inkunga na Skol, ariko ashimangira ko atazibagirwa gushyira imbere “ubutumwa burimo agaciro.”

Ibyo Kitoko yavuze byerekanye ishusho nshya ya Meddy nk’umuhanzi w’umukristo, ukomeje kugaragaza ko impano y’Imana ishobora guhindura ubuzima bw’umuntu n’isi yose. Ubu, aho Meddy ari i Dallas muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, ntakiri umuhanzi usanzwe, ahubwo ni umukozi w’Imana ukoresha ijwi rye mu gukiza imitima.

Kitoko we ashimangira ko ibyo ari “ikimenyetso cy’uko umuziki nyarwanda ugiye kugera ku rundi rwego” urwego rw’abantu bakora umuziki ufite inyigisho, uhuza abantu n’Imana, kandi ukazana amahoro mu mitima yabo.

“Iyo urebye Meddy, ubona ko impano n’umwuka byahuye. Ni isomo kuri twe twese dukunda umuziki,” ni ko Kitoko asoza.
