.........he reminds me of Prophet Owour.But atleast ours does not claim to be the one.

Wanyonyi was born in 1925 and started the sect in 1956. Four years later he realised that he was more than just a prophet. In 1960 he revealed he was the one true God of the Bible, and possessed he power of life and death, and the ability to heal all wounds. He now lives surrounded by his followers; everyone in the village is a member of his cult. He has 25 wives and 100 children. His followers believe that he is God immortal, and that the future of all creation depends on him.

In the early '80s Wanyonyi lived in Bungoma, 100 kilometres away in Western Kenya and could claim more than 7,000 followers, mostly drawn from his own Luhya tribe. Hearing that he was God and could cure all disease, the people sold their land and livestock and gave the cash to Wanyonyi. Others donated land and livestock. Those who had nothing to give sought casual work and donated their earnings to him.

But despite his claims his followers fell victim to disease – malaria, typhoid, cholera and meningitis. Many died since Jehovah did not allow them to go to hospitals for treatment. (Their children had also been forbidden from attending schools). The people of Bungoma turned against him. They burnt his houses and chased him and his family out of the county. Those who had given him their land repossessed it; others sought help from the government to get their property back.
