LEADERSHIP NEWSPAPERS: As 2015 comes to an end, what do you foresee in 2016?
PRIMATE AYODELE: "I see Saudi Arabia being attacked by terrorists. I see that Ebola is still very much around Africa. Coca Cola will rebrand and must pray against fire outbreak. Political enemies will disorganise the Bayelsa State governor so that his second term bid can crumble. But if Governor Dickson seeks the face of God and work very hard, he will win a second term. But if he relaxes, the APC candidate will shock him. Let us pray against attacks on our pipelines."

Unfortunately, a lot of Nigerians will believe these clowns. Adeboye. Oyedepo, TB Joshua and all the self-acclaimed prophets in Nigeria will make intelligent guesses with very high probability, then people come around to stamp fulfilled prophecies on these bogus claims. You hear statements like, "My Daddy tells me that 20 unemployed youths in this congregation will get employed before the mid-2016" and their unthinking herds will shout amen. None of them would rationalize the statement as mere guess and not prophecies. Out of a population of over 1 million people, the odds are high that a lot of unemployed people would be present and definitely some will get jobs within 6 months. Why can't these fakes mention names? At least, going by the bible, prophecies were direct and specific.
Why do these people always conduct their miracles at controlled spaces like crusade grounds, camps, within churches, etc? According to the bible, Jesus went to the blinds on the streets, he raised up the dead in their homes, but these fakes will arrange miracles but the gullible majority will not exercise a little jot of reason to question these claims.
I just hope Nigerians will start asking questions of their leaders. Unless and until we get to that stage, we shall continue to be willing preys in the hands of scammers - political and religious.
