2024 FAILED PROPHECIES, NIGERIANS DOUBT 2025 PREDICTIONS
2024 FAILED PROPHECIES, NIGERIANS DOUBT 2025 PREDICTIONS In this report, Olufemi Adediran examined some 2024 prophecies of popular Nigerian pastors and prophets and how many of them went unfulfilled. While looking at the predictions for 2025, some Christian leaders advised preachers to de-emphasise such practices From megachurches to smaller congregations, New Year’s Eve services are often marked by pastors, prophets, and spiritual leaders sharing their visions and prophecies for the upcoming year. These prophecies, which often address issues such as economic recovery, political events, natural disasters, and national security, have become an annual tradition in Nigeria. Every year, people in the country look forward to the declarations of respected and popular religious leaders, hoping for insight into the country’s fortunes and future. While some of these prophecies come to pass, others fall short, deepening mistrust and raising concerns about the credibility and calling of these preachers. In 2024, religious leaders predicted economic hardship and eventual recovery, major political changes, breakthroughs in national security, and a year of divine intervention for the country. However, the reality of the past year painted a starkly different picture, as economic hardship worsened, insecurity persisted, and political tensions remained unresolved. In 2024, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Worldwide, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, released seven prophecies for Nigeria and the international community. The cleric said, “Things will get worse before it gets better in 2024, some serious secrets would come into the open, there will be divine intervention in those places that are hot, and medical breakthroughs in areas like cancer, asthma, hypertension, and sugar diabetes.” There is no evidence all the prophecies came to pass. The most notable unfulfilled prophecy for year 2024 came from the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, who predicted victory for Vice President Kamala Harris at the US presidential election. The controversial pastor said Harris would not only emerge the winner of the election, but also become the first female president of America. “The person I see ruling America is a woman; the person who is vice will become president, write it down,” Suleman said to the cheering of his church members. However, former President Donald Trump won the election by a landslide and is set for inauguration as the 47th president of the US on January 20, 2025. Another unfulfilled prophecy came from the founder and senior pastor of the Champions Royal Assembly, Prophet Joshua Iginla, who predicted that President Bola Tinubu would experience major medical emergencies and health failure. “President Tinubu should focus on his health to prevent medical emergencies twice. We pray God’s agenda for him will come to pass,” Iginla said. Also, the cleric’s prediction on the removal of Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang,failed to manifest. Predicting Mutfwang’s removal, Iginla said, “The governor should pray. I saw his seat being occupied by another person. He should pray to finish what he has started. He should rise not to only sustain his seat but his life too. He is a star in this country despite the issues surrounding him.” However, his prediction on possible attack on the Governor of Taraba State, Agbu Kefas,or his relatives came to pass when a policeman escorting the family accidentally shot the governor’s sister, Atsi Kefas, while attempting to fend off some assailants last December. 2025 prophecies Religious leaders have made several predictions for the new year. Pastor Adeboye, in his 2025 prophecies during the cross over night on Tuesday, December 31 at the Redemption city, said, 2025 would be a landmark year. “God says the wind that started blowing last year will continue to blow this year but stronger. The Lord said some earthly helpers will be replaced by heavenly helpers this year. The Lord said…
