The US’ 2016 Presidential Election was surely one which everyone waited for with bewilderment from the onset. With a particular atypical candidate having taken everyone by surprise, first by deciding to run as a candidate and later clinging to the Republican nomination and later ultimately winning the presidency of the United States. Yes, that’s Donald Trump.
November 8th, 2016 came and went, and the sun rose the next day. On the other hand, many have taken to social media what has been said to be an uncharacteristic turn of events regarding a purported ‘prophecy’ by the Nigerian cleric, T.B. Joshua, who on Sunday, November 6th, 2016 made mention of the 2016 U.S. Election results.
He said that he saw a “narrow” win for a particular candidate, not specifically mentioning what kind of “narrow” win he was referring to. He then went further to say, that the upcoming leader would face difficulty in terms of “passing bills”; a possible “vote of no confidence”; and that the upcoming leader’s “boat would be rocked”. After these statements, he paused and then continued to say that the narrow win he referred to earlier was with regards to a “woman”. He concluded to say that Mr. Trump, despite all the criticism was a “courageous man”.
Now, with all the excerpts from the November 6th statements from the Nigerian cleric, many took to the media (and social media) to inaccurately say he said that Hillary Clinton would win the presidency of the United States. What is surely known about the controversial cleric is, his past international prophecies are always accurate when given time to actually unfold.
However, in this instance no time was given to allow the ‘prophecy’ to come to unfold. Some just hastily waited for the next day to see everything come to pass all at once – if they could, they would have probably wanted everything to happen on that Sunday, that is: the difficulty in passing bills, the narrow win, the rocked boat right there at that moment, but things do not seem to work that way. Nonetheless, so far the observations in light of the ‘prophecy’ are as follows:
1. Truly, Clinton won the popular vote of the United States “narrowly”. However, given the Electoral College system of the US, she did not win the electoral aggregate. “The woman’s” (Clinton) “narrow” lead in terms of the popular vote is 47.7% versus 47.5% (for Trump). This is a rare occurrence in US history – it only once happened in the 1800s and with Al Gore.
2. Others may say, Trump – as a Republican – will have it easy to pass laws, because the House of Representatives and the Senate (both of which constitute the US Congress) are majority Republican. This is of course too early to tell – going by the earlier statement that there time needs to be allowed for events to unfold. However, what can be observed from what occurred during the campaign trail is the following: Mr. Trump is not a Republican by ideology, Trump is his own ‘ism’.
For example, many of Trump’s stated fiscal policies are at odds with a typical Republican candidate. Why? Because Mr. Trump’s proposed fiscal policies are those of a spender: “tax cuts”, “building a wall”, increasing the number of officials working at the US’ southern border, deportations etc... Whereas the US Congress has been more conservative as regards fiscal policy and are likely to restrict any proposed laws that require ‘over-spending’ from Mr. Trump. Similarly, it has been made clear that Mr. Trump and his Republican counterparts have often been at odds with one another in the most overt of ways during the campaign trail. Therefore, any proposed “bills” that may be out of hand, the president-elect may face a difficult time in getting them passed in that regard. All this is at this stage speculative, but the ‘prophecy’ does shed some light on what is to come.
3. There have been wide-spread ‘anti-Trump’ protests all over major cities in the US. Others stating that the 2016 president-elect, is “not their president”. This is the first stage of the president-elect’s “boat being rocked”. This is only 2 days after the 2016 US presidential election and the events keep unfolding.
Those who have been agog with their comments regarding a possible “mistake” having been uttered by the Nigerian cleric, should rather critically observe the events unfold and in so doing read and watch the news (and not superficially read twitter feeds or Facebook timelines) and then want to confirm or discredit what was said.
With that, I close with this: let us be an informed global citizenry that supports those who go into the arena to fight the good fight; if you’re merely a spectator who merely sits on the side-lines and then waits to criticize, then your comment does not count.

Shame on whoever wrote this piece! Do you think we r fools. Try as hard as u may we cannot be swayed by ur desperate effort at making tb Joshua's prophecy correct. Tell that to a new born.
ReplyDeleteAbsolute rubbish. Who paid u to do this? Shame on u.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good PR for Joshua. Who is the author? A church member or a paid writer?
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good PR for Joshua. Who is the author? A church member or a paid writer?
ReplyDeleteHaba! What is this magician saying? Does it mean that God does not understand the American electoral system?? Nobody should play with God. Useless fake seer and pastor, continue to deceive the gullible. One day you will die and face Gods' judgement.
ReplyDeleteGIVE US A BREAK, CLOWN!!!
ReplyDeleteGIVE US A BREAK, CLOWN!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope the write watched the video, or should I send it to u?
ReplyDeleteWinning an election and winning popularity vote are two different thibgs my dear. Why was the prediction according to NE removed from his site only to be posted after an sure due considertion of this lies and look alike explanation ?the explanation we have here is totally different from the Clinton will win the election except ME and other media outfits want to claim and admit they missed inform the public.which one is it? Or is this another case of strange aircraft hovering? Isaiah 8:19,20 warns us to stay clear of foetune-tellers but inquire from the law and written confirmation (the bible). I don't know where you ppl got this MOg stuff wit this man from. Even native doctors or babalawo can predict events with accuracy. So thise if you whi want pastors that see front, make una look Gods word again look and don't be deceived.
ReplyDeleteClearly this writer did not watch the video clip of the TB Joshua "prophecy" or is altogether trying to be clever by half!Tell him to go see the video first and then come back...TB said clearly himself that what "they showed me" in the vision was a woman.Even made reference to others who "wrongly" predicted a Trump win! Clearly God is judging false political or religious orders!
ReplyDeleteIf we thought he had mixed it let us forget after all he is not God, man can make error. Jonah in the bible that a certain city would be destroyed but later it was changed by the same God. Isaiah a mighty prophet prophecy that a king would die but before an hour past the same God changed it. These do not make the two prophet fake after all God is God. Prophet Joshua Temitope is going a lot of good things to the masses that both the state and federal governments had never done, let's look at the good and overlook the errors. God will bless every one of you in Jesus name.
ReplyDeleteI will reply you on THIS, Jonah was told to go tell them to change there way or else He God will destroy them.... Isaiah was told to BY GOD to go back again to tell the King he will not die, So it you all asshole believe TB why did not God ahiw him again that he has Change it... TB joshua is not a man of God, so i will say it anytime andwhere
DeleteOga Jonah was to go and earn them to repent. It was based on their repentance from their wrong ways that God forgave them. Just like Sodom did not repent so where destroyed. So this ya logical defence no work in this situation.
DeleteGood day my enlightened friends, tb joshua should learn from d likes of AY, he will get better at his "future tales" or consult ifa for a better "behind d cloud stories". God will expose all d wizards & witches as God's kingdom will never be divided against itself
DeleteGod does not show the future to any body.Fellow Nigerians,avoide being cajolled.
ReplyDeleteScam! Nigerian eye has always promoted him so not shocked at this defence.
ReplyDeleteThe only accurate prediction that I have seen from TB is the one they say he gave or uploaded after the event has happened.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha...... day of a thousand laugh. These out prophet no go kill person.
DeleteAs a responsible prophet of God, our visions must always be accurate. The Bible tells us that "No one talks of Jesus and calls him an outcast. The Bible says in Genesis chapter 1:1."The light shinneth out of darkness, and darkness could not comprehend over it." Prophetic Words are accurate and not misleading. Therefore any one assuming to a Holy Prophet of must be careful what kind of messages he/she gives because it's not 'do or die.' Our God is absolute
ReplyDeleteOur people are being exploited because of our lack of knowledge! It is strange that anyone should try to justify or rationalise the absurd. The "prophet goofed and should be man enough to accept this fact.
ReplyDeleteIt shows all of them criticizing TBJ has little knowledge of the Bible, the same thing happened to Prophet Elisha when he told the Israelites that they will win their war against the Moabites in 2 Kings 3, it was glaring Israelites were sure of winning the war, DID THEY WIN ? NO. Just because the King of Moab made sacrifice to their god. The Question now is DID THAT PROPHECY MADE PROPHET ELISHA A FALSE PROPHET? NOOOO.... so they should all remain silence because God has not finish with what TBJ said.
