Olumba Olumba Obu: The Man His Followers Call God

In Nigeria, Christianity has never been just one simple story. There is Catholicism. There is Anglicanism. There is Pentecostalism. There are African Independent Churches. There are prayer houses, prophetic movements, healing ministries and spiritual fellowships. But among all these movements, one name stands out because of the kind of claims surrounding him. Olumba Olumba Obu. To his followers, he is not just a preacher. Not just a prophet. Not just a spiritual teacher. Many members of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star believe he is God manifested in human form.
