Maggie Kayima, popularly known as Nabbi Omukazi, has shed light on her past relationship with the late Pastor Augustine Yiga Abizzayo.
Contrary to widespread belief, Nabbi Omukazi clarified that it wasn’t Pastor Yiga’s HIV-positive status that caused the end of their relationship, but his jealousy and insecurity.
Nabbi Omukazi gained public attention in the early 2010s as a self-proclaimed prophetess under Pastor Yiga’s Revival Church.
Despite initially being linked to Yiga professionally, rumors began to circulate about a romantic relationship between the two. In a recent interview with former Sanyuka TV presenter Kaiyz, Nabbi Omukazi confirmed the rumors, admitting that their relationship was not only intimate but also sexual.
In 2012, Pastor Yiga traveled to South Africa, where he became seriously ill.

During his treatment, he informed Nabbi Omukazi that he had been placed on antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), revealing his HIV-positive status. To confirm the diagnosis, the two visited Mengo Hospital for a blood test, which confirmed Yiga’s condition. However, Nabbi Omukazi tested negative for the virus.
Despite the diagnosis, the singer remained committed to the pastor and their relationship, unconcerned about the potential health risks.
She chose not to take any precautions against contracting HIV, stating that her love for him was stronger than the fear of the disease.
While many might have assumed that the health issue was the reason for the couple’s split, Nabbi Omukazi revealed that Yiga’s possessiveness was the actual cause.
His extreme jealousy and insecurity became unbearable. At one point, Yiga went so far as to deploy military personnel to monitor her interactions and prevent her from talking to other people.
Eventually, Nabbi Omukazi grew tired of Yiga’s controlling behavior and ended the relationship. She emphasized that their breakup had nothing to do with his HIV-positive status, but rather his inability to trust her and his obsessive need for control.
