Like the case of Charlie Hebdo Massacre where 12 people including employees of the satirical weekly magazine were killed for the magazine's caricatures of Prophet Mohammed.
So when making religious jokes one has to be careful and Eric Omondi was, but his picture was a subject of great misinterpretation.
This is despite him saying earlier that the song was the story of the repentant thief who was crucified besides Jesus. "This is the story of the thief on the right side of Christ. It's never too late to acknowledge God in your life...He gave his life to Christ minutes before he let go... This December I look back and Thank Him for the year that has been. Tomorrow will be brighter." he explained.
The comedian did an Akorino refix of Kuliko Jana but a scene from the video had Christians and even Muslims frothing in the mouth due to a crucifixion scene.
A scene of one of the robbers who was crucified besides Jesus, but people took it wrongly and that is when the barrage of insults started.

In the midst of the barrage of insults and negative comments there are those who got what Eric was trying to portray…but it seemed lost in the sea of negativity.
