Nigeria’s Economy Will Suffer Setbacks in 2020—Prophet Iginla
By Modupe Gbadeyanka
**South Africa to Experience Boom
Abuja-based cleric, Prophet Joshua Iginla, has predicted that Nigeria’s economy will suffer setbacks in 2020. The seer made this disclosure in his New Year 44 prophetic release made available to Business Post on Sunday.
Prophet Iginla, who is one of the leading prophetic voices in the country, said in the message that he sees “a lot of hardship,” noting that, “It will take God’s intervention to see what we desire to see.”
The Shepherd in charge of Champions Royal Assembly, who is noted for his accurate predictions in the past, also strongly warned local authorities on the issue of Biafra agitation, which he said if not handled carefully, could cause huge international embarrassment for the country.
Below are his 44 prophetic release.
1) The government of the day will do her best to see how to improve the life of the common man, but I see a lot of battles.
2) The economy will suffer a lot of setbacks. I am not a prophet of doom, but I see a lot of hardship. It will take God’s intervention to see what we desire to see.
3) God’s hand is upon Nigeria. We are passing through a process and we are still in incubation period. It will take time for us to see that which we desire as a nation.
4) We have to pray because of what I saw. I hope we don’t experience a reoccurrence of what we have been delivered from in the past.
5) I see another kind of terrorism that is not good and it’s coming from the region we least expect in this county.
6) We have to pray for the security of families and lives in 2020. What I mean is a resurface of other kinds of attacks that are not too good. The God that we serve will deliver us in Jesus name.
7) I see a mighty protest that will erupt this year from an angle we least expect. It’s going to be very strong. It’s a massive protest and I see a counter protest to this massive protest. We have to pray strongly that God in his infinite mercy should help and keep Nigeria safe in the midst of these storms.
8) The government of the day will try all her best to handle a lot of things, but we have to pray for our leaders for them not to be overwhelmed by these battles.
9) We have to pray for a serving Governor to complete his tenure because of a health issue he is currently battling with.
10a) I am not a prophet of doom, but I must tell you the truth. We have not seen the end of the Biafra agitation. This year, it will take another turn and continue to grow like that.
10b) Still on the Biafra movement, it would not die. From 2020 to 2022, we will see a dimension that will be very strategic. A lot of you will ask me why is he always talking about Biafra. It’s because of what I am seeing. It won’t die at all. This battle will carry another dimension internationally and not locally and the young man at the centre of this thing will wax stronger with international presence. I see other people putting hands on his shoulder. If we don’t pray and do the needful with our Igbo brothers, there is going to be a time that things will fall apart. The only way to solve this is to do justice. I see a strong strategic battle so that a nation will not come out of a nation. I saw a wild lion and many other lions with the same features around him. Those in government should pray very well. There is going to be a lot of international embarrassment for Governors, Ministers, Senators and others. Some clothes will be torn and some beaten, it’s going to be bad. Let’s just pray and do the needful.
11) I see a nation coming out of a nation. I don’t know when and I don’t know how. We have to pray for the unity of this country.
12) There is going to be a time that even the military and police will not be able to stop the anger of some people. I pray that wisdom will be given to the government of the day to handle some situations and the grievances of some people in the part of this country.
13) The body of Christ in Nigeria will see an extreme tremendous and painful persecutions. It will come from quarters that we least expect. Brothers will betray brothers. In the midst of this storm, we pray for the body of Christ in Nigeria to be one in Jesus name.
14) Before the end of the tenure of this ruling party, there is going to be disaffection, disunity and I see a party splitting out of a party.
15) I see power brokers not being able to hold themselves because of ambitions. It’s going to be very tough.
16) This year is the year that the political seed of confusion will be petted. We have to pray for those great leaders that we have. In this nation to have a single mind as we run.
Is there hope for Nigeria? Yes!
17) I see a new Nigeria rising up but it’s going to be in God’s own way.
18) Political grandfathers will not be able to ascertain or solve the puzzle of Nigeria.
19) In the midst of this year and next year, we will know our bearing and many confused politicians will see the light and know that this is the hand of God. People will know that God loves Nigeria and not a man that loves Nigeria.
20) Nigeria should pray about the airspace because of unpleasant attack.
GHANA
21) Top politicians in Ghana will face a lot of battles.
22) That is, many of them will go to jail.
23) There will be a lot of trials for the President of Ghana. He has to be very careful because I see some expensive mistakes that might come from some cabals who are loyal to him and that can be an expensive media attack so that they don’t truncate his second term ambition.
24) The former president of Ghana, I foresee an attack and I pray the Lord will deliver him from that. I meant an attack and it’s not even spiritual but physical before the election. We should pray to avert this and I declared it will be averted in Jesus name.
25) Thus, we will be fasting for that between January 8 and 9, 2020.
26) Togo re-election! I see an election that will come and the opposition will not be satisfied with, but it will be peaceful. It’s the after effect of the election we should pray about.
27) The person sitting on the throne will still be there. The other private things, I have already said that to him.
28) Let’s us pray because I see a lot of confusion after the election. We have to pray for the nation of Togo. All my concern is peace.
29) South Africa is going to experience a boom in their economy.
30) And there is going to be a lot of downpour this year.
31) And there is going to be restoration of lost glory when it comes to issues of legacies that have been laid down by ruling forefathers.
32) I see a lot of restoration that will come.
33) South Africa will experience boom of prosperity but there will still be xenophobic attack. We pray it will not resurface again this year in Jesus name.
34) We have to pray for peace for Malawi.
35) We should pray not to have a rerun in their election.
36) I see a lot of battles after the court declaration which we have to pray about.
37) Malawi is God’s own nation and the hand of God is upon that nation. The truth is Malawi is about to experience a new dispensation of glory and there is no mortal man that can stop it. But before that, I see a lot that we have to pray about and Malawians have to pray. We prophesy peace even after the court declaration in Jesus name.
38) The great president of Gabon should be careful because there are lots of people around him who wish him dead. He meant well for the nation of Gabon. We have to pray for him.
39) I have set forth the 3rd and 4th of January, 2020 for fasting and prayer for him. God will preserve him but we have to pray for him strongly. I see the candle light burning but God will keep him.
40) The nation of Kenya has to pray very well in terms of their security. I see mischievous people with mischievous plan trying to cause bomb blasts at sensitive places. We will put that in prayer from 10th-11th of January 2020.
41) There is going to be a strong protest in the nation of Cameroon against the leadership and this can be very bad. I saw an aggression that can cause a blood bath. It’s not a conventional protest but a very strong one. I am not a prophet of doom. God revealed to redeem. We are praying that this should be reversed in Jesus name.
42) President Trump will go through all the saga. It will be tough but he will come out of it and it will make him very popular.
43) The ruling party in Ghana should not underestimate the former president contesting on the platform of opposition. There is a star on his head.
44) Zambia. I see the economy of Zambia growing stronger and better than it has ever experienced. You can call it a miracle or wonder but it will further make the president popular. I see a strong spiritual revival that will move through the land because of the cry of the brethren.

Rivers Speaker, 15 Other Lawmakers Leave PDP for APC
By Modupe Gbadeyanka
The Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Mr Martin Amaewhule, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
At the plenary on Friday, Mr Amaewhule joined the ruling party from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), along with 15 other members of the state parliament.
This development comes some months after they had earlier declared their support for the APC in the wake of a crisis with the state governor, Mr Sim Fubura.
The lawmakers had an issue with Mr Fubura, which led to a state of emergency declared on the oil-rich state by President Bola Tinubu in March 2025.
This embargo was only lift in September 2025 after the duration of the six-month emergency rule in the state.
A few days ago, members of the Rivers Assembly passed a vote of confidence on President Tinubu, backing him to remain in office till 2031, when he would have spent eight years in office if re-elected in 2027.
Announcing their defection today, the lawmakers pinned their decision on the crisis rocking the PDP at the national level.
It is not certain if their political godfather, Mr Nyesom Wike, who is the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), will join them in APC.
Mr Wike, who governed Rivers State from 2015 to 2023, has been accused of instigating the crisis in the opposition PDP. He was expelled from the party last month at a national convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Nigeria Risks Brain Drain in Energy Sector—PENGASSAN
By Adedapo Adesanya
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has warned that Nigeria risks massive brain drain in the oil and gas sector due to poor remuneration.
The president of PENGASSAN, Mr Festus Osifo, said at the end of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the union on Thursday in Abuja that the industry was facing challenges arising from Naira devaluation and inflation, noting that, oil and gas skills remained globally competitive.
Painting an example, he said, “A drilling engineer in Nigeria does the same job as one in the US or Abu Dhabi,” noting that the union must take steps to bridge the wage gap to prevent members from leaving the country for better opportunities abroad.
“If we don’t act, the brain drain seen in other sectors will be child’s play,” he said.
According to him, PENGASSAN has recorded significant gains through collective bargaining across oil and gas branches.
“We signed numerous agreements across government agencies, IOCs, service and marketing sectors,” he said.
He said the agreements brought relief to members facing rising costs of living, adding that, the association’s duty is to protect members’ jobs and enhance their pay.
Mr Osifo urged companies delaying salary reviews and those foot-dragging as a result of the prevailing economic realities, to do the needful.
He said the industry employed some of the nation’s best talents, making competitive pay critical to retaining skilled workers.
“This industry recruits the best. Companies must provide the best conditions,” he said.
On insecurity, Mr Osifo urged government to take decisive action against terrorism and kidnappings across the country.
“We are tired of condemnations. government must expose sponsors and protect citizens,” he said.
He urged government at all levels to prioritise tackling insecurity through better funding and equipment for security agencies.
Mr Osifo said PENGASSAN supported calls for state police to improve local security response, adding that decentralising policing will protect citizens better than rhetoric.
He also said economic indicators meant little, if food prices remained high and farmers could not return to farms due to insecurity.
“Nigerians want to see food on the table, not macroeconomic figures,” he said, urging the government to coordinate fiscal and monetary policies to ensure economic gains reach households.
