Talk:Olumba Olumba

Siblings, handing over church, etc

Sources, not all necessarily reliable.[1].

[2] this book says "The Brotherhood, as Bongmba calls it, was started by Father Olumba Olumba Obu in 1942. Father Olumba effectively led it until his death in 2002 or 2003.59 His followers know him as God the Father incarnate and follow him with undivided loyalty.60 According to Bongmba, “The title ‘Father’ defines his role as the cosmic leader and teacher of everything in heaven and earth, with no deputy or assistant.”61 In 2000, he appointed his son, Rowland, as his successor, calling him the Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords." Bongmba later says this happened in 2020, see another source below..

Doug Weller,the current information says started 1956, unsupported by source. Will use this one, 1942, thanks. Also serves as a second ref for date of death, currently disputed, but if we have two decent sources...Also more abt Rowland/Roland, very helpful.

Distant Spat Plays Out in L.A. Courts - a splat described as between his two oldest siblings (not "his two siblings").

Doug Weller, this is excellent, and the Los Angeles Times is WP:RSP, may resolve our mutual difficulties, and provide information for expansion. Thanks so much! Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 04:13, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

@Tribe of Tiger I'm really pleased I could help. I don't think I'll edit, I'm slowly fading. Doug Weller talk 11:01, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

[3] maybe from Christianity today, dated 2020 "The spokesperson of the Kingdom, Christ Shepherd Edet Archibong," who explained that Olumba Olumba isn't dead, just isn't making public appearances, etc.2

Byline reads "Chritianity Today", misspelled Christianity. Sigh...I'm so accustomed to following strict BLP standards, finding it difficult to adjust to a lower bar for a possibly deceased person. But will give it a go. Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 00:47, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

[7] Olumba-Olumba Obu (ie Rowland) explains the reason for the pandemic and says it will subside.

@Doug Weller I am pleased to do the editing, you did the heavy lifting! Will attach the refs you supplied to the text, then see about adding more information. I hope my incessant pinging "like a duck on a June bug", hasn't annoyed you, but I assume your watchlist is long, & attention span a bit short. Take good care of yourself, I'll get to work.

@Tribe of Tiger no problem. I'm just pleased I could help. Doug Weller talk 16:18, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
