Many Nigerian pastors and prophecies are like Siamese twins. There is hardly any salient issue they don’t make prophesy on. But most times, the fabulous predictions, usually attributed to inspiration from God, are always inaccurate.

The last presidential election received several unsolicited prophecies which particularly targeted President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party. Though the predictions appeared scary and laughable, they later turned out to be wide of the mark.

One of the prophecy merchants is a Nigerian pastor based in South Africa, Samuel Akinbodunse. The dark-skinned cleric in a video, which circulated on the Internet weeks before electioneering, walked with a measured spring in his step as he spoke to the congregation inside the capacious Freedom For All Nations Outreach church.

In a finality brooking no interference, he told the ecstatic congregation, “Please Nigerians warn Buhari that he is going beyond his boundary. That the Lord said his tenure is once and not twice. If not, he will not see the election o. If you know him and how to email the Presidency of Nigeria, please write (send) him a text (message). If he made (makes) a mistake to campaign for elections, before they vote, he will die.”

If he made (makes) a mistake to campaign for elections, before they vote, he will die.”


At this point, panic gripped some of the congregation, who were already standing, but clapped several times for the cleric’s damning prediction that sank into the expansive auditorium.

He continued, “And I am saying the truth, I am saying the truth. Tell him the same voice that spoke when people said Jonathan would be the President of Nigeria, the same voice is speaking to him that he must not make that mistake. Let him eat whatever he wants to eat inside (the) sugar that he is now and leave the sugar jejely. If not, he will die. That is just the message. I am not afraid of…Any man who kill (sic) me today him help me because eternity is waiting for me already. If you kill me today, many Samuels will rise tomorrow. What is the essence of killing me because there are many Samuels that will rise?”

The cleric’s prophecy is abundantly inaccurate as the presidential and National Assembly elections were not only shifted from February 16 to February 23 by the Independent National Electoral Commission, Buhari also participated in electioneering with his party, and INEC later declared him winner of the election

Akinbodunse’s prediction went off the mark as events later proved but Nigerians, via the social media, expectedly lashed out at him.

On a social network site, Nairaland, Brightest04 said, “He wants to let people know that he exists. I don’t blame him; after sleeping with other people’s wives, he intends to see things. I think these men have taken God and His name as a toy; hence they use his name vainly. And this stupidity is synonymous with Christians.”

Saying he holds a degree in Systematic Theology, Brightest04 added, “It baffles me how people roughly use the name of their creator and indeed the creator of everything in existence in a foolish way. These men are satanically-controlled and the people who listen to them have to be careful so that they don’t partake in their calamities.”

Earlier, Akinbodunse, in another sermon, which video gripped the Internet, said the country’s next President was a youth whose name starts with letter ‘S’.

He stated that he would not say what God didn’t tell him, urging Buhari to step down for the youth with a call on ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo to support the incoming ‘youth’ President.

Also, a pastor of the Christ Apostolic Church, Akure, Ondo State, Simeon Akorede, reportedly predicted Buhari’s defeat in the presidential election.

Though Akorede said God didn’t tell him who would become the country’s next president when he spoke with journalists in Akure, he noted that God showed him that Buhari had lost the opportunity and the grace to rule Nigeria again.

He said, “God revealed to me that the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari is not given the grace to govern Nigeria for a second term.”

But the results of the presidential election released by INEC made mincemeat of Akorede’s prediction. The commission said Buhari won his re-election bid polling 15,191,847 votes to defeat Atiku who got 11,262,978.

The prophetic utterance of Prophet John Ogundele of the Recreation Word Apostolic Church, Lagos, about the presidential election was entirely different from others. He ruled that neither Buhari nor Atiku would emerge winner of the election.

In a video showing him in a service/prayer session, Ogundele stated before the congregation, “You may be calculating in your mind that if Buhari doesn’t become the President, then it will be Atiku because Obasanjo supports him.

Let me tell you as a prophet of God that among Obasanjo, Atiku and Buhari and those who you think are influential (in the country), God said He had withdrawn power from them. None of them will get on to the seat of power. Atiku will spend a lot of money but the money will cause conflicts in the country. If Atiku doesn’t come, there will be no new government.

In the number 30 of his 50 prophecies for 2019 released last December, the General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, said, “I saw most eastern states won by the APC at the national level.” By whatever interpretation given to the prophecy, it didn’t come to pass as far as the last presidential election was concerned.

Either in the number of states in the eastern region or lawmakers produced for the National Assembly, the PDP won most votes and the states in the South-East, and not the APC. From Abia, Enugu, Imo, Ebonyi to Anambra, Atiku dwarfed Buhari with his acceptance and adoption in the region.

Like many of his past prophecies that didn’t come to pass, the Presiding Bishop, Divine Seed of God Chapel Ministries, Ibadan, Oyo State, Wale Olagunju, had predicted several months before the presidential election that Buhari would be roundly defeated by Atiku.

Being based in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, his prophecy might have come true, at least in the state, where Atiku marginally defeated Buhari in the presidential poll.

Quoting him in one of his interviews with a national newspaper, Olagunju said, “Let me congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari for winning the ticket of his party, the All Progressives Congress, and let me also make it clear to him that he will lose to Atiku Abubakar. Let me also congratulate Atiku in advance because he will win the next presidential election come 2019.

Let me say, as a matter of fact, that Buhari does not need an alfa or prophet to deceive him that he would win the election, for as God lives, he would lose.”

The elections have come and gone but the outcome thoroughly faulted Olagunju’s prediction.

For Prophet David Babalola of His Presence Redemption Ministry International, Lagos, Atiku would trounce Buhari in the election.

He stated that he was on a mountain and saw Buhari on the right and Atiku on the left.

He said he asked God what the vision meant and God told him, “I can go back for the good to come. For you to have the best, that means there is bad before the good. It is power turnaround.’’
Babalola said, “I look at the announcement they announced (sic). They said Atiku have (has) won the presidency. Let everyone pray effectively that they will hand over.’’

The cleric added that Atiku had been ordained Nigeria’s President since 2012, saying, “Atiku won the election.’’

But despite the cacophony of failed prophecies on the presidential election, Prophet Emmanuel Stephen of the Mountain of Grace and Glory Ministry Worldwide, Lagos, reeled out a prediction which left the congregation and those who watched the video online in a pensive mood.

Even though I'm not a fan of electoral prophecies, you can not for sure say that the prophecies failed when the election was not allowed to go seamlessly. When a certain party brazenly forced itself on the people and averted their imminent defeat would you say that they won fair and square? Had the result of the election come from a free, fair and credible process, maybe that's when you could talk about failed prophecies.

I wonder how they don't usually see the same thing...
Is it not the same God

They are all fake.

Only in Africa would people be relying on 'seers' for the most idiotic of reasons.

They failed and would continue to fail.

Even when bursted they still twist it for their mugus to mean another thing, there are unlimited numbers of gullible people in the world, and that's why yahoo yahoo can't end after many dacades

They should be careful. Prophecy doesn't need press conference.

Now, Atiku and his company would find it difficult to believe any Man of God

God's plans cannot be rigged not even by the Army or Buhari. Stop deceiving yourself. The election was adjudged to be the freest and fairest election in the history of Nigeria. APC didn't force themselves on us. Atiku failed to perform in his zone and that alone costed him the election. Did you expect Atiku to perform magic in Yobe State when a whole (Yobe) State PDP Chairman defected a day to election? Why are you now surprised he was roundly defeated in a State like Yobe? Does PDP have any structure in Borno? Were you expecting Atiku to defeat Buhari in a State like Borno? Even when Sheriff was with PDP in 2015, Jonathan was only able to get about 25k votes or so! You should be glad Atiku got more. If you say they rigged in Borno and Yobe, what would APC say about Anambra and Enugu results? Stop being a sore loser please.

I think you may be right to some extent.Yes had the result come from a free,fair and credible election,Buhari could have lost.But if I could remember vividly some years back during the America election,when many of these satanically-controlled and shameless pastors and prophets awashed the social media that Hillary clinton would become America president.I think you know what came out of that election.would you also say that "had the result come from a free,fair and credible election".You see i know the angle you are coming from but one shouldn't hold brief for these so-called Prophets as they have lost God's calling if at all any there any initially

Use your head, stop falling prey to all these men of dollars. From the first prophecy, the man of god said PMB will die if he tried to campaign for the election. Did he die when he campaigned ? Or his death was also rigged? These your men of god have all lost it

These fakers are giving so-called prophecies they received from God. Can man misdirect a path God has ordained? Stop making excuses and simply accept that these men are all opportunists crooks as those of us not blinded by religion have always insisted.

Start relying on your own strength and ability more and you will go far in life rather than when you place your faith in some 'man of God' to guide and deliver you. What God says will happen will indeed happen and no man or rigging can change that. To even infer that man thwarted God's will means you insult God and do not understand what God represents.

hia

if there predictions comes, the mumu members will start worshiping them without knowing it just bet9ja
