Nigerians on social media have criticized former Super Eagles defender, Taribo West for prophesying that United States President, Donald Trump, would defeat Joe Biden by a slim margin.
The video of the prophecy was posted on social media before the American election but only went viral after the poll had ended.
West, who is also a preacher, said he rightly predicted the victory of Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki; and his Ondo State counterpart, Rotimi Akeredolu, but his prediction did not go viral on social media.
He later prophesied that Trump would win Biden by a thin margin and asked his supporters to ensure that his prophecy goes viral.
The ex-football star said, “Before the election in Edo, I said Obaseki would win. Is that true? Did he win? Nobody said it anywhere. Nobody quoted me anywhere. I also said in the Ondo election that Akeredolu would win. Is that true? Did he win? He won.
“Now, I want you to put this out the way I want it. Donald Trump will win the election by a slight split edge over Joe Biden. So, quote me and I want it to be out before time.”
West’s prophecy has generated diverse comments on social media
@M4micheal tweeted, “He predicted and made it look like God was speaking through him. If Trump had won, his prediction would’ve been right and he would’ve told his congregation that God did it, but God isn’t an author of confusion.”
@Crpticcritic: Taribo west should be on the next night of a thousand laugh …..how can one person have so many jokes like this and he never blow ….” Nothing is coming out ” …now the first something that is out is already nothing again..
@mykkel3, “One thing I know about this wrong prophecy was that he wanted to glorify himself after the first two corrected ones, that was why he needed a camera to put it on social media…He forgot that he is not God.”
The quest for fame and cheap popularity will make men pride in themselves,” tweeted @amablacknaija.
@Don_Larry1: Taribo West should be protected. A national treasure.
@Borokinniquadri: The more reason why we should worship God and not our religious leaders. Many prophecies are from their own notions not from the Almighty.
