I wouldn't stake my life on that bit of info to be honest. It was told to me by a friend who used to row the ferry boat across the Loch before the bridge was built. The bridge now saves a long journey around the loch through Kinlochleven many miles at the far end of the loch. Mind you when I used to know him in Manchester, (he now lives in Ballachulish) he was fond of the odd tall story, or two.
Did you know that when they constructed the Ballachulish Bridge, they built it from both sides of Loch Leven to meet in the middle, only to find it didn't quite meet up, it was about two inches askew....
Uganda has a wonderful climate. Although it's almost on the equator, it's elevation (4000ft above sea level) keeps it warm without the excessively high temps you would associate with similar equatorial countries.
The road to spiritual enlightenment for most (very few have reached pure consciousness suddenly,) is a long journey. Starting like a flickering candle in the far distance it grows brighter and clearer as you move towards it, but cannot be shared. Words cannot prove it's existence, just direct you. No more than a signpost pointing towards Paris can give you any indication of what Paris is like, you have to go there for yourself to find out.
One day I may finally reach 'Paris' and my journey will be complete.
I also can't answer that. But I do know that the words he supposedly spoke have inspired many over the centuries. Nevertheless I do believe he was just an enlightened master and his message was...don't personalize me, don't make me into a form identity. Without a false self to uphold, defend and feed he was more simple, more ordinary than the ordinary man or woman. There have been many spiritual masters over the centuries, some can hear their message, but for some they cannot hear. Anyone with a strong ego would regard them as insignificant, or more likely, not see them at all. As for the 'second coming' of Christ, this will be a transformation of human consciousness, not the arrival of some man or woman. The 'shift' is already happening, and it has to be unstoppable, the future of mankind depends on it.

We all 'worry' about that.
