A self-proclaimed prophet from Western Kenya, identified as Prophet Masinde, has stirred national debate after declaring that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga is not dead and will reportedly resurrect before his burial on Sunday.
According to Masinde, he received a divine revelation from God showing that Raila — affectionately known as Baba — will rise again, leaving the entire country in disbelief. “Mungu amenionyesha, Raila hajaenda. Kabla azikwe, atafufuka. Wakenya wataona Baba akiwa hai tena,” the prophet boldly stated during a public address that has since gone viral on social media.
The prophet further insisted that his past prophecies have always come true, and that this one will be no different. He described Raila as a man chosen for a divine purpose, saying that “such people are not meant to die; they are destined to live forever.” Masinde urged Kenyans, particularly Raila’s supporters, not to mourn but to wait in faith for the miraculous event he claims will happen before Monday.
His prophecy has sparked mixed reactions across the country. While a few people praised his confidence and strong faith, the majority of Kenyans expressed skepticism. Many online users dismissed the claims as unrealistic, with some humorously suggesting that the prophet should be taken to Mathare Mental Hospital for evaluation.
Others argued that the prophecy might be symbolic, suggesting that the prophet could be referring to Raila’s legacy rather than a physical resurrection. Some also linked his statements to the belief in reincarnation, where great leaders are thought to live on through others or through their impact on society.
As Kenyans prepare for Raila Odinga’s final send-off in Bondo, Prophet Masinde’s bold prediction continues to dominate online discussions, adding another layer of mystery, faith, and emotion to a moment already filled with national mourning.
