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.

Celebrated broadcaster with Arise TV, Mrs Ayo Mario-Ese, has charged women to be open to collaboration and not limit themselves.
The charming media personality was one of the panellists at the UBA Business Series themed Introducing Gen W – The Evolved Woman, held at the UBA House in Lagos last Thursday.
At the event moderated by popular actor, Mr Tobi Bakre, the Morning Show anchor on Arise TV expressed worry about females who are usually laidback about speaking up and sharing their achievements, and said that women need to own their stories.
“A lot of women are doing phenomenal work and are sometimes afraid of showcasing what they are doing. As an evolved woman, you have to find out what you are comfortable doing, create your own unique offering, and also be open to collaboration,” she submitted.
Another panellist, Ms Joycee Awosika, described an evolved woman as one who has awareness of who she is.
“That woman does not need to ask to sit at the table; she is creating her own table and adding value. As your company is growing, you must grow too, and always do an audit of where you need to become a better leader,” the energy economist stated.
For a digital entrepreneur, Ms Tomike Adeoye, the question of what a woman is bringing to the table has now become obsolete, as the evolved woman is now bringing their own table.
“She is now more vocal about their struggles, setting the standards, and she is not ready to give up on her dreams,” she declared.
For the founder of Fine-Funky, Ms Olufunke Davies, she remarked that, “Creating unique designs that are affordable remains my driving force and something that has helped me grow as an evolved woman.”
In her remarks, the Group Head for Brand, Marketing and Corporate Communications at UBA, Ms Alero Ladipo, said, “Raising each woman is actually not that hard, because everyone has their community as well as their story; and so as women, we need to take a position so that we can give to others.”
She said the Gen W platform of the lender is dedicated to the evolved woman, adding, “Through expert insights, real stories, and practical resources, the platform connects women who are building brands, creating businesses, growing careers, and leading across industries. They also have access to a plethora of discounted products and loans. The best part: it is open to every woman. No UBA account needed. This is Gen W, for the evolved woman.”
This edition of the UBA Business Series was hosted to mark International Women’s Month.

The Nigerian Navy has intensified its crackdown on crude oil theft and illegal bunkering, destroying a reactivated illegal refinery site in Rivers State and intercepting suspected stolen petroleum products in Calabar.
The Director of Naval Information, Captain Abiodun Folorunsho, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, revealing that personnel of the Nigerian Navy Ship SOROH, operating under Operation Delta Sentinel, destroyed a reactivated illegal refinery site at Okolomade Community in Abua-Odual Local Government Area (LGA) of Rivers State.
He said the action followed credible intelligence that a previously dismantled illegal refining site had resumed operations.
According to him, an Anti–Crude Oil Theft (Anti-COT) team deployed to the location discovered that the dismantled refining oven had been reconstructed.
“Further exploitation of the area led to the discovery of additional refining equipment and storage facilities containing about 3,000 litres of product suspected to be illegally refined Automotive Gas Oil (AGO),” he said.
Mr Folorunsho added that the illegal refining infrastructure—including ovens, storage tanks, hoses, connected pipes and newly acquired metal components used for illegal refining—was destroyed in line with operational procedures.
He said personnel of the Nigerian Navy Ship Victory, in another operation, intercepted about 3,950 litres of suspected stolen petroleum products at the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) area in Calabar, Cross River.
He said the interception was based on credible intelligence on suspected siphoning of petroleum products from vessels berthed at the port.
The naval patrol team, according to him, swiftly deployed to the area and traced the illegally siphoned products to a trailer park within the port facility.
“On sighting the naval patrol team, the suspected perpetrators fled the scene, after which the area was cordoned off and the illegally siphoned products secured,” he said.
The official said further inspection led to the recovery of about 3,950 litres of Automotive Gas Oil stored in drums and jerrycans, which had been evacuated to the naval base for further necessary action in line with extant regulations.
He noted that the successes aligned with the directive of the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Adm. Idi Abbas, to intensify operations against crude oil theft and other maritime crimes across Nigeria’s maritime domain.
The captain reiterated the Navy’s commitment to sustaining the operational tempo of Operation Delta Sentinel through intensified surveillance, patrols and intelligence-driven operations aimed at combating crude oil theft, illegal bunkering and other forms of economic sabotage.
