The flamboyant preacher and gospel educator, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri of the Enlightened Christian Gathering continues to break local records on every front he put his hands on.

He has added yet another laureate steller in the  social media hemisphere for becoming the first Malawian to get over 1 million ‘Likes’ and millions of silent followers on Facebook.

The information on Social Baker, a trusted social media analytics partner to thousands of enterprise brands and SMBs, including over 100 companies on the 2015 Fortune Global 500, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri account is the leading page in the Malawi strata with over 1 million followers followed by former head of state Dr Joyce Banda with a following of over half a million.

According to statistics for Bushiri’s page, about 600 thousand fans are those with Malawian accounts, a record that still outshines the rest minus the other countries’ followers.

There are only four pages in Malawi verified by Facebook. A verified page is the one that carries a blue badge. The verified pages include that  of Prophet  Bushiri.

The page of Professor Peter Mutharika, the current head of state is yet to be verified.

The Major 1’s page is one of the fastest growing pages in Africa for the pastors, just like his church which is also reported to be the fastest growing religious institution across the globe.
