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.

The younger sister of the former Minister of Power, Mr Adebayo Adelabu, Mrs Olaide Busayo Adegoke John-Paul, has been rescued by officials of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
The woman was freed from her kidnappers along with her twin sons, Peter and Paul, on Saturday evening.
They were abducted on Wednesday morning while the former employee of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) was taking her children to school in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The unfortunate incident reportedly occurred at about 7:30 am on June 3, 2026, throwing residents of the area into panic. The 43-year-old mother was taken from her vehicle by the gunmen and driven away with her 12-year-old twin sons.
This evening, in an operation by security operatives, the victims were rescued, while two of the suspected kidnappers were fatally shot in a gun duel, and two firearms were recovered from the gang.
The police are now combing the area where the rescue operation took place to apprehend some of the fleeing kidnappers, who are believed to have escaped with gunshot wounds.
The news of the rescue of the kidnapped victims has thrown the family of the former Minister into a frenzy.

The federal government and the Honeywell Group are strengthening a partnership aimed at achieving sustainable development in Nigeria.
The company on Thursday held a meeting with the Minister of Interior, Mr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in Abuja. Both parties explored ways to promote economic development, reaffirming the importance of public-private sector cooperation in advancing Nigeria’s development agenda and improving service delivery for citizens.
The Senior Adviser to the Honeywell Group, Mrs Oduwaye Nsidi-Sakiri, reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to supporting national development through constructive engagement and collaboration.
“We commend the remarkable progress that has been made. These achievements are a reflection not only of leadership but also of the dedication and hard work of the entire team within the Ministry,” she said.
She explained that the visit reflected Honeywell Group’s longstanding tradition of maintaining proactive and constructive relationships with government institutions, regulatory agencies, and other key public-sector stakeholders. She further expressed the group’s willingness to explore opportunities for collaboration in support of government initiatives and national development objectives.
Also speaking, Honeywell Group Chief Operating Officer, Mrs Tomi Ayo-Tugbo, commended the Ministry for reforms that are delivering tangible improvements in the lives of Nigerians, reiterating the firm’s commitment to supporting the country’s growth and prosperity.
On his part, Mr Tunji-Ojo praised the company for its longstanding contributions to Nigeria’s economy and acknowledged the critical role of the private sector in driving economic growth, creating jobs, and supporting national development.
He further assured the delegation of the Ministry’s readiness to engage with stakeholders and collaborate with responsible corporate organisations in advancing initiatives that promote economic development, innovation, and improved service delivery.
The Minister emphasised that the reforms being implemented across the Ministry and its agencies are designed not only to improve operational efficiency but also to strengthen national security and enhance public confidence in government institutions.
“Our goal is to build institutions that work efficiently for the people. We are committed to creating systems that are transparent, technology-driven, and capable of delivering services in a manner that reflects the aspirations of a modern Nigeria,” he stated.
“The government cannot achieve sustainable development alone. Strong partnerships between the public and private sectors are essential to building a prosperous nation. We value organisations such as Honeywell Group that have consistently invested in Nigeria and contributed to the country’s growth over several decades,” Mr Tunji-Ojo added.

The federal government has directed that no new public contracts should be awarded without first getting the funds, as part of efforts to improve project delivery across the country.
Director-General of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), Mr Adebowale Adedokun, disclosed this on the sidelines of the Inaugural Hosting of The Procurement Evolution in Abuja on Thursday.
Mr Adedokun said President Bola Tinubu had approved measures to raise resources needed to settle outstanding obligations to contractors, describing timely payment as critical to an efficient procurement system.
“Mr President has given a directive on when funds should be raised to address the concerns of contractors who are yet to be paid. With this, procurement processes will be much better because payment is now tied to procurement.
“Meaning that no award will be further issued without resources or funding available. So these are the things that the President has asked us to do.”
The BPP boss said the government was also implementing 23 procurement reforms aimed at improving transparency, efficiency and value for money in public spending.
According to him, committees to drive the reforms will soon be inaugurated by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
He said the reforms were designed to ensure that Nigerians benefit directly through improved infrastructure, healthcare, education and better living conditions.
“The president wants Nigerians to feel the effects of this transformation by having good roads, good hospitals, good educational institutions, and a good living wage for all workers.”
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr George Akume, said public procurement remained central to the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Mr Akume noted that ongoing reforms, including proposed amendments to the Public Procurement Act 2007, the Nigeria First Policy, Nigeria e-Marketplace initiative, community-based procurement and affirmative procurement programmes, were intended to strengthen local industries and promote economic inclusion.
The SGF, represented by Mr Abubakar Kana, Permanent Secretary, General Services Office, Office of the SGF, added that the reforms would enhance transparency, simplify procurement processes and leverage technology to improve service delivery and national development.
“As we move forward, our collective responsibility is very clear.
“We must ensure that procurement processes are simplified. without compromising accountability, that technology is fully leveraged to eliminate inefficiencies and that all stakeholders work collaboratively to achieve shared national goals.
“The federal government remains fully committed to supporting the Bureau of Public Procurement in driving these reforms and ensuring that public procurement becomes a catalyst for economic growth, infrastructure development and improved quality of life for all our citizens.”
