Nigerians have taken to social media to share mixed reactions after a video of Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Funfeyin predicting the outcome of the recent November 8 Anambra State governorship election surfaced online.
Prophet Funfeyin, founder and General Overseer of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry in Warri, Delta State, had during a service on November 7 attended by members and international visitors, declared that incumbent Professor Charles Soludo would emerge as the winner. Days later, Soludo was officially announced as the governor-elect, fulfilling the prophecy.
The video has since generated widespread conversation online. While several Nigerians praised the prophet for his prophetic accuracy, others remained skeptical about the growing link between religion and politics.
A social media user @PinnacleCo84696 said: “Prophecy confirmed! When he said Soludo will win on Nov 7, and now look, God really spoke!”
@JJBlex: “Thank you Papa J for declaring the winner ahead. When faith meets fact.
“I always knew there was something special about Prophet Funfeyin. This one is another proof.”
Not everyone, however, shared the same sentiment. Some netizens questioned the timing and credibility of such prophecies.
“So he predicted it, but how many others did he predict that didn’t happen? We only hear about the hits.”
“Powerful if true. But still, always good to be cautious when prophecy meets politics.”
A few others raised broader concerns about the intersection of faith and governance.
“This kind of thing worries me. When religious declarations step into politics, it muddles faith and influence.”
Regardless of the differing opinions, Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Funfeyin’s fulfilled prophecy has once again placed him in the spotlight, reigniting discussions about the role of spirituality, influence, and foresight in Nigeria’s sociopolitical space.
