According to scripture, many are called, but few are chosen. In the lead-up to the 2023 elections, several pastors made predictions regarding the rise and fall of President Bola Tinubu.
Only a handful of these clerics accurately foresaw the outcome, notably Prophet Julius Okonkwo, the presiding pastor of Kingdom Seeker Ministries, which is based in the United States.
As the circumstances surrounding Tinubu’s victory take on a new dimension, prophecies continue to emerge from various pulpits, condemning the newly elected president and warning of the severe hardships that may lie ahead for Nigerians.
The US-based prophet said those who are vocally advocating for democracy and criticizing President Tinubu are largely doing so because they feel the impact of his policies on their lives; their concerns, however, are not necessarily in the best interest of Nigerians as a whole.
His message:
“I want to caution Nigerians to disregard these dissenting voices, who often create a cacophony of discontent. Tinubu is poised to guide Nigeria towards a brighter future, a vision some refer to as the promised land.
From my vantage point here in America, I witness the changes he is implementing, and many Nigerians abroad are taking note of his leadership. Just recently, someone remarked to me, “Daddy, if Tinubu continues to improve the country, I’m seriously considering moving back to Nigeria.” This speaks volumes about the hope he inspires. I believe that if Tinubu were to lose the upcoming 2027 election, it could plunge Nigeria into a profound crisis. There are influential figures who are not pleased with Tinubu’s transformative reforms after more than fifty years, but their opinions are inconsequential.
Feel free to label me or hurl insults at me; I’ve been branded as “Tinubu’s pastor” by some of his critics, but that doesn’t faze me. I have never met Tinubu or anyone in his family, but I believe it’s crucial to speak candidly about the situation. And let’s be realistic—how many politicians here have contributed to our community? I accurately predicted Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 elections, and it materialized without any press conferences on my part to claim credit. I echo my confidence that he will triumph in 2027, paving the way for Nigeria to break free from external influences that hinder our progress.
There are those in Western countries who seem to obstruct Nigeria’s ascent while ironically praising it. If Tinubu is unable to serve a full eight years in office, the repercussions could set Nigeria back by half a century—this is a warning all Nigerians should heed! Additionally, I wish to convey a word of caution to the President: be vigilant of those around you. While some may appear loyal now, come election time, they may not hesitate to turn their backs on you.”
Oborevwori’s 6-Lane waterfront project will check rising rents in Asaba — Izeze
Delta State Commissioner for Works (Highways and Urban Roads), Comrade Reuben Izeze, has assured that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s six-lane Asaba Waterfront City project will not only transform the state capital’s landscape but also ease the pressure of skyrocketing house rents in Asaba.
Speaking during an inspection tour of the project on Tuesday, Izeze explained that the road, being executed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between the Delta State Government and North China Construction Company, will open up the Waterfront City and boost housing supply in the capital.

“With projects like this, simple economics will come into play as supply increases, demand pressure will ease, and rents will crash. We believe this will solve the problem of outrageous house rents in Asaba,” the Commissioner stated.
He added that the project would also help decongest the already overcrowded city centre while curbing the menace of illegal and temporary structures that had previously taken over the area.
“This place, about four years ago, was already turning into a shanty where all kinds of characters were putting up illegal structures. With this project, we are creating a completely new city that will ease the pressure on Asaba,” Izeze said.
On the quality of work done, the Works Commissioner expressed satisfaction with progress on the six-lane carriageway, which was first awarded by the previous administration but gained full momentum under Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
“I have inspected this road about four times now, and I can say the quality of the structural work is reasonably good. Now that they are at the asphalting stage, I expect them to strictly adhere to the Bill of Engineering Measurement and Evaluation, particularly with the thickness and quality of asphalt applied,” he noted.

Izeze further commended the aesthetics of the project, describing it as “quite attractive to the eyes,” and urged the contractors to take advantage of the dry season to complete both the binder and friction courses so the road can be delivered for use.
Ex-Wife Drags Reno Omokri Over Neglecting Son With Special Needs
Tuokpe Onuwaje, the estranged first wife of former presidential aide Reno Omokri, has accused him of neglecting their son with special needs while allegedly prioritising social media appearances.
In a Facebook post on Monday, Onuwaje claimed that Omokri had not spent meaningful time with their son since June 2024, more than a year ago.
She alleged that his occasional visits were staged for the cameras rather than genuine efforts to bond with the boy, who requires extra care and attention.
“Stop showing up just for photo ops; show up for real life. Our son with special needs is waiting for quality time with his dad, not just the fleeting visits you do with his siblings.
“You haven’t seen nor spent time with your son since June 2024! Over a year,” she wrote.
Onuwaje urged her former husband to be more present in his children’s lives beyond curated online posts.
“Prioritise meaningful moments over social media validation. Be present, be involved, and be a constant in your children’s lives.
“Real parenting happens in the everyday moments, not just in staged photos. Put down the camera,” she added.
Ex-IGP Adamu pays tribute to late IGP Arase
Former Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu on Monday joined other well-meaning Nigerians to pay tribute to the late Inspector General of Police and immediate past Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Solomon Arase, who passed away in Abuja at the age of 69.
Arase died in the early hours of Sunday at Cedarcrest Hospital, Abuja, after a brief illness.
The retired top cop while consoling his family, the entire Nigerian Police Force, the International Police community and Nigerians as a whole, described the late Arase as a patriotic Nigerian who gave his all to the service of his fatherland and beyond.
Adamu addressed some newsmen shortly after he signed the condolence register at the Abuja residence of the late IGP Arase.
“It was shocking to me when I received the news of the demise of the former IGP Solomon Arase. Everybody knows that when Arase was there, he was one of the brains that reformed the Nigerian Police.
“Even after retirement his heart was there with the Nigerian Police thinking of how the service can improve day in day out. It is a great loss not only to his family and not only to the Police Force but also to the country at large. And he has been also linked to international policing and his colleagues at the international level would really miss him.
“We lost a patriot in this county and we pray that God will give the family the fortitude to bear the loss and also we his colleagues. We continue to pray for the repose of his soul,” he stressed.
REVEALED: Names of 5 Nigerians behind $45m United States scam [FULL LIST]
A federal court in the United States has convicted five Nigerian men for defrauding numerous American citizens.
These individuals were involved in creating fake online romances aimed at lonely individuals, as well as scams related to pandemic unemployment insurance.
The criminal group also exploited a global tragedy and executed sophisticated email hacks that drained funds from U.S. businesses.
The full names and addresses of the five members of this criminal syndicate, who face the possibility of long prison sentences, have been released.
As reported by PM News, a U.S. federal jury in Puerto Rico convicted the fifth defendant, Oluwasegun Baiyewu of Richmond, Texas.
The 37-year-old was convicted after a marathon 22-day trial.
Baiyewu joins his fellow conspirators:
40-year-old Oluwaseun Adelekan of Staten Island, New York
40-year-old Temitope Omotayo Staten Island, New York
37-year-old Ifeoluwa Dudubo of Austin, Texas,
37-year-old Temitope Suleiman of Richmond, Texas
The U.S. prosecutors said the Nigerians ran hundreds of financial transactions. The syndicates “wash” the loot by buying used cars and shipping them back to Nigeria in a cynical attempt to convert fraud into flashy wealth.
The convicted Nigerians will now face sentencing before Judge Raúl M. Arias-Marxuach of the District of Puerto Rico, where they risk long prison terms.
According to the FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Nigerian criminals are “key service providers” for cyber scammers. They warned that the game is up for anyone who thinks they can hide in the shadows of the internet.
The Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the U.S. Justice Department declared that:
“This conviction is a message to transnational organized crime groups and their accomplices: you cannot victimize Americans with impunity.”
Reacting to the conviction of the syndicates, the U.S. Attorney for Puerto Rico, Stephen Muldrow, said:
“The defendants lined their pockets by defrauding vulnerable members of our society. Justice will prevail.”
Recall that Nigerian traditional ruler, Apetu of Ipetumodu in Osun state, Oba Joseph Oloyede, was sentenced to six and a half years imprisonment in the United States.
Oba Oloyede was said to have created and led a scheme that defrauded over $4.2 million from the federal loan and grant programmes.
The US court filed three-count charges against the traditional ruler, according to the office of the US Attorney in the Northern District of Ohio.
