Conflicting prophecies from two prominent Nigerian clerics have sparked intense debate among
Nigerians as the new year unfolds.
According to reports, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, declared that God revealed to him that this year will be easier for Nigerians. He prophesied reduced hardship, less hunger, and a turnaround that would make many Nigerians abroad consider returning home. His message was received with joy and hope by millions who are weary of economic struggles and uncertainty.
However, in sharp contrast, the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, revealed a vision indicating that Nigerians may face tougher times ahead. According to him, the year will come with severe hardship and hunger, warning citizens to prepare spiritually and materially for difficult days.
These opposing prophecies have left many Nigerians confused and asking a common question: “Who should we believe?”
For some believers, prophecy is deeply personal and dependent on faith, spiritual alignment, and interpretation. Others argue that prophecies are not absolute predictions but warnings or encouragements meant to guide human action. There is also the view that national outcomes are shaped not only by spiritual declarations but by leadership decisions, economic policies, accountability, and citizens’ collective efforts.
Religious scholars have often emphasized that prophecy does not cancel human responsibility. Even positive prophecies may require wisdom, discipline, and action to manifest, while negative visions may serve as warnings that can be mitigated through proper planning and reforms.
As Nigerians continue to navigate economic challenges, rising costs of living, and governance expectations, many believe the wisest approach is to combine faith with vigilance—praying for divine intervention while also demanding responsible leadership and making personal preparations.
Ultimately, time will tell which outlook reflects Nigeria’s reality. Until then, citizens are encouraged to stay hopeful, resilient, prayerful, and proactive, knowing that the future of the nation rests not only in prophecies but also in collective action
