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.

Tinubu Confirms Killing of Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki by Nigerian, US Forces
By Modupe Gbadeyanka
President Bola Tinubu on Saturday confirmed the killing of a senior ISIS leader, Mr Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki, in an overnight operation carried out by the United States and Nigeria.
President Donald Trump had earlier announced the elimination of the notorious terrorist via a post on his Truth Social.
Later, in a statement today, Mr Tinubu praised the action, describing it as “a significant example of effective collaboration in the fight against terrorism.”
“Our determined Nigerian Armed Forces, working closely with the Armed Forces of the United States, conducted a daring joint operation that dealt a heavy blow to the ranks of the Islamic State,” he said in the statement.
According to him, early assessments confirm the elimination of the wanted IS senior leader, Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki, also known as Abu-Mainok, along with several of his lieutenants, during a strike on his compound in the Lake Chad Basin.
He commended the partnership between Nigeria and America in waging war against terrorists, thanking his US counterpart “for his leadership and unwavering support in this effort.”
“I commend the personnel involved on both sides for their professionalism and courage, and I look forward to more decisive strikes against all terrorist enclaves across the nation,” the Nigerian leader added.

Nigeria Steps up AI Surveillance, Anti-Drone Systems for National Security
By Adedapo Adesanya
Nigeria is set to strengthen its defence architecture by deploying artificial intelligence-powered surveillance systems and advanced anti-drone technology as part of efforts to modernise the country’s military capabilities, according to the Minister of Defence, Mr Christopher Musa.
He disclosed this during a high-level visit to Monaco, where he led a Nigerian delegation to conclude discussions on the multi-domain Hybrid Intelligence Shield (HIS) project.
According to Mr Musa, the initiative is designed to enhance border security, protect urban centres and improve the country’s response to emerging security threats.
The project is expected to introduce AI-driven surveillance systems capable of identifying threats rapidly through smart algorithms, while anti-drone technology will be deployed to intercept and neutralise unmanned aerial threats.
The government also plans to establish national and regional command-and-control centres to improve real-time coordination and response to security incidents across the country.
Mr Musa said the initiative would place strong emphasis on technology transfer and local capacity development through the establishment of a military Centre of Excellence in Nigeria.
He added that the federal government would leverage partnerships with international firms, including Marss UK Ltd, while simultaneously building indigenous capabilities to address insurgency, illegal mining, piracy and other security threats.
Nigeria has continued to battle multiple security challenges in recent years, including insurgency in the North-East, banditry and kidnappings in the North-West, farmer-herder clashes in the North-Central region, crude oil theft in the Niger Delta and piracy in the Gulf of Guinea.
Nigeria is stepping up its defence as the border region of Nigeria, Benin and Niger on the southern edge of the Sahel region is becoming a new stronghold for jihadists, as militants turn forests and pastoral networks in West Africa into bases for recruitment and international attacks.
Attacks in Nigeria have also risen, with data from the website of the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED), a conflict-monitoring group, affirming that the number of suicide bombings in Nigeria by March already matched the annual average over the past six years.
The Nigerian military has also been dealt a blow to its military bases and senior figures targeted. In April, Brigadier-General Oseni Omoh Braimah was killed when Islamist fighters attacked a base in Borno State.
To also meet the defence goal, Nigeria is stepping up efforts to build domestic arms-manufacturing capacity.

Nigeria, Morocco to Seal Atlantic Gas Pipeline Deal by Q4 2026
By Adedapo Adesanya
Nigeria and Morocco are set to sign a major intergovernmental agreement later this year to push forward the long-delayed Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline project, a multi-billion-dollar energy corridor expected to reshape gas trade across West Africa and Europe.
The agreement, expected to be signed in the fourth quarter of 2026 by President Bola Tinubu and King Mohammed VI of Morocco, follows the completion of preliminary technical studies for the ambitious project, according to officials from both countries.
The pipeline, also known as the African Atlantic Gas Pipeline, is projected to stretch about 6,900 kilometres along offshore and onshore routes across West Africa, making it one of the largest gas infrastructure projects on the continent.
With an estimated cost of $25 billion, the pipeline is designed to transport up to 30 billion cubic metres of gas annually once completed.
Discussions on the project gained fresh momentum during a telephone conversation between Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, and her Moroccan counterpart, Mr Nasser Bourita.
The project would not only strengthen energy cooperation between the two countries but also improve regional economic integration and expand Africa’s access to European energy markets.
According to Morocco’s hydrocarbons and mining agency, ONHYM, part of the gas supply will support Morocco’s domestic energy demand, while large export volumes will be directed to Europe.
The project, first proposed about a decade ago, is seen as a strategic alternative gas supply route amid rising global energy security concerns and Europe’s search for more diversified energy sources.
Beyond the pipeline, Nigeria and Morocco are also exploring broader economic partnerships, particularly in fertiliser production and distribution to support food security across Africa.
Both countries also agreed on the need to revive the Nigeria-Morocco Business Council to strengthen trade and investment relations under the African Continental Free Trade Area framework.
Analysts noted that the project could significantly boost gas monetisation opportunities for Nigeria, expand regional infrastructure development, and deepen economic ties between West African nations and Europe if successfully executed.
