The Ministry of Repentance and Holiness, a denomination linked to fiery zealot, Prophet David Owuor, has issued a statement admitting the world will not end tomorrow 2 August 2025.

In the official statement issued barely a few hours before the clock ticks to Saturday August 2 the church now claims that the sentiments were fabrications being attributed to the prophet who did not make them.

The church has cleverly distanced both itself and the prophet from these allegations, stating clearly that the statements did not originate from Prophet Owuor. They describe the rumors as false accusations intended to tarnish the good name of their church and its leader.

They did not, however, say why they’ve been silent about taking an official position on the matter until they realized it was all baloney.

Church officials have urged Kenyans to disregard these claims, reminding the public that no one knows the day or the hour the world will end. Therefore, they caution against spreading misleading information.

Despite the eleventh-hour clarification, some netizens had already begun criticizing Prophet Owuor, with a few labeling him the “prophet of doom.”

Whether or not the church claims to set the record straight, yet again, the damage has been done.

Prophet David Owuor who commands cultic following has made some rather bizarre prophesies before with his funnily-dressed adherents swallowing every false prediction lock, stock and barrel.

At some point he claimed to be a reincarnation of biblical prophet Elijah. But unlike Elijah who led a spartan lifestyle Owuor leads an ostentatious lifestyle preferring long convoys of high-end fourwheelers and police security when he moves around.

Earlier in his career he faced a court case over fraudulently acquiring the property of a widow who had been brainwashed to follow him.

Lately, he has cultivated state camaraderie in stark contrast to Bible teaching of Jesus and his followers not being party to politics and government of their time.

Like many televangelists Owuor has acquired immense wealth as he counties to hoodwink his hapless adherents.

The latest prophecy has been in the public domain and trending on social media for many days only for the Ministry of Repentance and Holiness to realize on the eleventh-hour that no such a cataclysmic event would take place tomorrow.

Whatever the case religious smart aleck and magicians continue reaping big from a society demoralized by economic hardships wrought by perpetual illness, ignorance and poverty.

Ne-Yo Lights Up Nairobi as Stanbic Bank’s Mashujaa Day Concert Draws 3,500 Fans Grammy-winning R&B superstar headlines ‘One Night Only: Brunch Edition’ at Ulinzi Sports Complex as Stanbic Bank backs Kenya’s creative economy and local enterprise NAIROBI, October 21, 2026 — Nairobi’s entertainment scene came alive on Mashujaa Day as approximately 3,500 music fans gathered at Ulinzi Sports Complex for One Night Only: Brunch Edition with Ne-Yo, a premium live-music experience title-sponsored by Stanbic Bank. The concert, held on Tuesday, October 20, delivered an afternoon of live performances, music and networking, bringing together Kenyan and international talent for a celebration that blended world-class entertainment with opportunities for the country’s growing creative economy. Performances began at 3:30 pm and concluded shortly after 8:00 pm, maintaining the event’s signature daytime brunch format while giving fans an opportunity to experience some of the biggest names on the lineup before nightfall. Kenyan musician Mutoriah opened the show with an energetic set, setting the pace for the afternoon. UK-based band Sol and the Gang followed with a vibrant performance before three-time Grammy Award-winning American R&B star Ne-Yo took centre stage to close the concert in style. Top Kenyan DJs kept the predominantly millennial audience entertained throughout the event, sustaining the energy between performances and reinforcing Nairobi’s growing appetite for curated, premium music experiences. Stanbic Bank puts creative economy in the spotlight Beyond the music, the concert highlighted the commercial opportunities generated by Kenya’s live-entertainment industry, with Stanbic Bank positioning its sponsorship as an investment in the wider creative ecosystem. The production created business opportunities across multiple segments of the value chain, including artists, sound engineers, stage and technical crews, production specialists, hospitality providers, security personnel, vendors and micro- and small enterprises. For an industry that relies heavily on collaboration among creative professionals and service providers, events of this scale can stimulate local demand, support livelihoods and open new commercial opportunities for businesses operating behind the scenes. Michael Mutiga, Chief Executive of Stanbic Bank Kenya and South Sudan, said the concert demonstrated how large-scale entertainment can combine audience appeal with tangible economic activity. “Yesterday was a powerful demonstration of what happens when world-class entertainment meets meaningful local economic impact,” Mutiga said. He noted that bringing more than 3,000 fans together went beyond the performances on stage, generating business for artists, technical teams, vendors, hospitality partners and small enterprises involved in delivering the event. “Kenya’s creative sector is a dynamic driver of growth, and Stanbic Bank remains committed to strengthening this ecosystem, raising its commercial profile, and supporting the livelihoods anchored in it,” he added. Creative industry contributes 5.32% of Kenya’s GDP The sponsorship comes against the backdrop of the creative economy’s contribution to employment, enterprise development and national output. A 2021 report by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO) placed the creative industry’s contribution to Kenya’s gross domestic product at 5.32%, while estimating that the sector provided formal employment for approximately 195,000 people. The industry also supports livelihoods across the informal economy, including performers, independent producers, event organisers, designers, content creators, technicians and small businesses that supply goods and services to entertainment productions. Stanbic Bank’s approach underscores the potential of cultural events to serve as more than marketing platforms. By bringing together consumers, performers, businesses and corporate sponsors, such events can create opportunities for local talent, showcase production capabilities and connect home-grown enterprises to wider commercial networks. However, the long-term impact of such initiatives depends on whether the opportunities generated translate into sustained contracts, improved incomes and stronger business prospects for local players beyond individual events. Stanbic Bank celebrates premium daytime entertainment Lilian Onyach, Head of Brand and Marketing at Stanbic Bank Kenya, said the event was designed to offer clients and music enthusiasts a distinctive, world-class daytime entertainment experience. She said the turnout and audience energy reflected the vibrancy of Kenya’s entertainment market and the growing appeal of carefully curated live-music events. “We set out to offer our clients and music enthusiasts a distinctive, world-class daytime experience, and the turnout and energy yesterday proved just how vibrant Kenya’s entertainment market is,” Onyach said. She added that the afternoon schedule allowed the event to preserve its brunch atmosphere while showcasing the artistry, logistical expertise and commercial capacity of Kenya’s creative industry. The format also reflects a broader opportunity for event organisers and sponsors to diversify entertainment offerings beyond traditional late-night concerts, creating experiences that appeal to audiences seeking music, social interaction and premium hospitality in a single setting. Brand recognition reinforces Stanbic Bank’s market position The Ne-Yo concert adds to Stanbic Bank’s brand-building initiatives as the lender continues to pursue market visibility through entertainment, customer engagement and support for economic activity. The bank was recently named Overall Best Bank in Kenya at the Think Business Awards. At group level, its parent, Standard Bank Group, was ranked Africa’s Most Valuable Bank Brand by Brand Finance for the fifth consecutive year. Through sponsorships such as One Night Only, Stanbic Bank is seeking to connect its brand with experiences that attract consumers while supporting businesses and professionals in adjacent industries. As Kenya’s creative sector continues to evolve, the commercial value of live entertainment will increasingly depend on the ability of organisers, sponsors and industry players to convert audience demand into sustainable opportunities for artists, entrepreneurs and the wider workforce. At Ulinzi Sports Complex, Ne-Yo provided the headline attraction, but the broader story extended beyond the stage: a major public celebration that brought international music to Nairobi while spotlighting the economic potential of Kenya’s creative industries
