Samuel said he wrote his own eulogy because no one else knows him better than himself. He also told the journalist that he built his burial site to save his family the trouble of digging his grave when he dies.

Samuel who has branded himself ‘Kumenya’ meaning ‘knowing’ told the reporter that his family members weren’t allowed to carry any flowers for the burial since his grave site was surrounded by flowers.

He also ordered that he will only be covered with soil and that he will not need a cross on his grave.

Some reports also allege that Samuel spends most of his time in his after-life home.
