2015 Elections: Where Are The Prophets? by ekesimo(m): 7:22am On Oct 09, 2015 |
Prior to the 2015 general elections, they were all over
the place. At every turn, you see acclaimed men of
God prophesying and “telling the mind of God”
concerning the presidential election.
Although they belonged to different denominations,
their prophecies had a common denominator that the
immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan would
be re-elected for a second term. However, there were
a few who believed that Jonathan would be defeated
in the March 28 , 2015 presidential poll.
An Abuja based prophet, Joshua Iginla of the
Champions Royal Assembly prophesied although the
person (Jonathan) sitting on the seat may not be
perfect, but he would continue in office beyond May
29, 2015.
Iginla who claimed he was speaking the mind of God
and not speculating, predicted that there would be
serious massive destruction of property and loss of
lives on the eve of the election.
Iginla had declared: “No matter how well organized
2015 election is, it will be faulted, I am not a politician
nor belong to any political party, I am just speaking
God’s mind. The person sitting on the seat might not
be perfect, but he will retain the seat. It’s not a guess
work, howbeit, it will be a battle between the lion and
the tiger …. Shortly after the elections, especially on
the eve of the election, there will be great
vandalisation. I see cars being burnt, lives lost
“President Jonathan will win but will have to pray. The
President and his wife should pray that the first lady
would finish the tenure together and not lose one
before the end of their tenure.”
Following suit, the founder of INRI Evangelical Spiritual
Church , Primate Elijah Ayodele Babatunde said: “ This
year’s election will throw up a lot of issues, president
Goodluck Jonathan will do everything to win a second
term, however, he needs 14 days prayers to have a
peaceful reign to enable him complete a second term.
The chairman of Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega will be
confused during the polls. There will be several
gimmicks to cajole the INEC to rig the election. E-
voting will not work. There will be ballot box snatching
and stuffing during the election. The President should
also commit his health and that of his wife to prayer,
“Jonathan is in the midst of enemies who are after his
life”
Similarly, Apostle Johnson Suleiman of the Omega
Fire Ministries Worldwide, with its headquarters in
Auchi, Edo State, the 2015 general election was going
to be trailed by bad news.
Suleiman said the 2015 presidential poll was going to
be a re-enactment of the of the June 12, 1993
presidential election fiasco. In the June 12 1993
presidential election, presidential candidate of the
defunct Social Democratic Party(SDP), Chief MKO
Abiola was adjudged the winner of the poll, which
many had described as the best in the history of
Nigeria, but he was never declared winner as the
election was annulled.
The preacher while urging President Jonathan to be
careful as there were plans to assassinate him, also
predicted the presidential poll would be marred by
violence and eventual end in the court.
“I see President Goodluck Jonathan coming back, but
there was trouble. Patience Jonathan needs serious
prayers. 2015 presidential election will be rigged,
marred by violence and end up in court case. 2015
elections is another June 12. The man who truly won
will not govern or rule,” Suleiman prophesied.
Prophet Michael Olubode, aka Micadeolu of the
Celestial Church of Christ based in Lagos like many
of the “prophets” said God has revealed that
Jonathan would get a second term as president.
According to him, although the president was hated in
some quarters, he must rule beyond the May 2019
terminal date of his first tenure.
Olubode said: “I want to let the people of Nigeria Know
that the Lord will return His Excellency, Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan to his presidential seat, despite much
hatred for him. It pleases the lord of Celestial to
increase his tenure at the presidential villa.
However, Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry in
Enugu, Fr. Ejike Mbaka of the Catholic Church saw
differently. He said Jonathan would not win the
election. While noting that the nation was slipping out
of the hand of the former president, the reverend
father said the holy spirit has rejected Jonathan as
president. Mbaka reportedly stated that“ the
President has become a Badluck”
However, in twist, General Overseer of Galilee
Christian Center, Lagos Prophet Willams Onuoha saw
a different thing all together. He said Imo State
governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha would be the
president of the country, except to follow God’s
direction.
“The current governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas
Okorocha, would become Nigeria’s President unless
the governor failed to adhere to God’s direction,” he
prophesied.
Interestingly, the 2015 election did not go according to
the prophesies of the “men of God”, except of course
Father Mbaka, who seemed to have hit the bulls eyes.
Contrary to the prediction of the prophets, Jonathan
lost the presidential election to President Muhammadu
Buhari.
Not only did former President Jonathan lose the
election, the presidential was also not characterized
by violence, neither was there a replay of the June 12,
1993 debacle. Buhari, the man who was declared the
winner of the March 28 presidential contest was not
only sworn-in, he has been presiding over the affairs
of the nation since 1993.
Suddenly, all the prophets that prophesied and
claimed that God told them that President Jonathan
would be reelected had suddenly lost their voices. The
only man still holding his high is Mbaka, who
predicted the fall of the immediate past president.
Not a few are wondering why the prophesies failed.
Did the self-acclaimed prophets actually heard from
God? Or was it that they did not hear well or did they
just give their jaundiced opinion to their gullible
congregations and claimed that God spoke to them.
While many of the prophets, whose prophecy failed
had hid their faces in shame, a few are making feeble
attempts to explain why their prophecies failed.
One of the them is Suleiman. He told a national daily
recently that “Whether a prophesy is fulfilled or not
depends on who it’s said about. Few of the people
prophesied about contacted me. I don’t want to call
names but they contacted me. You said I won’t get
this or that, I want it. Can it be reversed?’
I said very well. If you are given certain prayers to
make, prophecies can be reversed. If you’re given
certain things to do, prophecies can be reversed. And
actually, there were some people I never thought
would reach out to me, those who were Muslims,
those who were stubborn leaders, they contacted me.
So, I told them ‘this is not about man, it’s about God.
If you’re humble enough, we can pray about it.”
The failure of the prophesies to come true had raised
serious doubts about the credibility of the prophets.
Analysts say the hallmark of a true prophet is that
when he prophesies, it comes to a fulfillment.
But it is not actually for humans to judge. Their
judgment lies with God, for as the holy book says:
woe to him, who said thus said the Lord when the lord
has not spoken. |

Where are the prophets? Gone with the wind I'd say. In a study which revealed that 1 in 10 people in Nigeria has a predisposition to psychiatric problems, and against a backdrop of pervasive hunger and dehumanised living, with an inordinate desire for lucre, what would it take a felon to assume the right of a seer or prophet. The wind of change has blown and they've moved on to other pasture. |
