A Nigerian man based in the UK, @olajideobe, has shared his intriguing experience concerning a C&S prophet who reportedly saw him give his aunt ₦100,000 and subsequently issued a divine revelation advising him not to drive for seven days during his short visit to Nigeria. The man’s story has sparked widespread attention after he posted about it on X (formerly Twitter).
In his post, the individual explained the events that unfolded during his recent visit to Nigeria. He stated that he visited his aunt, where he encountered the prophet. The prophet was reportedly present when he gave his aunt ₦100,000, a gesture that made her overjoyed. After the exchange, his aunt prayed for him, and the prophet, who was with her, also joined in the prayers. The situation took an unexpected turn when his aunt called him later with a message from the prophet.
His aunt shared that the prophet had a special message for him, claiming that he had received a divine vision or "ìṣípayá" (spiritual revelation). The prophet advised the man not to drive for seven days, a warning that he believed was meant to protect him from an impending danger. His aunt, after receiving the message, even provided him with the prophet’s contact information for any future communication.
Despite the serious tone of the message, @olajideobe humorously dismissed the prophecy. He shared his reaction, saying, "Prophet don see who he go catch as a maga. 😁😁🤣 I’m a bad market for this kind of level o. Abi I don call ni? Me wey dey resume back to work tomorrow." In his post, he joked about how Nigerian spiritualists, in his view, often use fear to manipulate people into obedience. He continued, "Don’t drive for seven days, my foot. Nigerian spiritualists have only one modus operandi — they plant fear in the minds of their ‘customers.’”
As the post gained traction on X, the man also expressed his personal spiritual beliefs, stating that he had grown beyond the point where he felt the need to rely on prophets for guidance. He explained, "I’ve grown past this level in my own journey of spirituality. Jesus has torn the veil, and I have direct access to God in heaven without any third-party intermediary. I pray to God directly in the name of Jesus, and He answers me. Why do I still need to be looking for a ‘prophet’?”
In a further humorous twist, the man revealed his defiance to the prophecy. After receiving the warning not to drive for seven days, he proceeded to drive to a service station to fill up his car’s fuel tank and wash it, stating that he had to get ready for his return to work the next day. "The first thing I did when I got home was drive to the service station to fill up my fuel tank and wash the car, since I’ll be resuming work tomorrow," he wrote. His story quickly gained attention from many of his followers, who flooded the comment section with their reactions.
Some followers shared their own experiences and opinions on the matter. @Celeb_Shoemaker shared a personal anecdote: "One said I will travel after school. Till date, I don’t even own a passport." @HSG1018 asked, “Bro my question is have you been driving after the so-called prophet gave you that message?” @EvangelistOgunz commented, pointing out that such prophecies were often a form of manipulation: “This kind of manipulation is a classic case of ‘prophetic extortion through fear conditioning’ – a spiritualized psychological manipulation tactic where fear is planted to induce obedience, dependence, or financial gain under the guise of revelation or divine instruction.” @AlliOlabisi5 recounted their own encounter with a similar situation, where a prophet had predicted tragedy unless they gave money: “Just like a prophet who said my mom and daughter would die within 3 months of each other if I fail to give him 40k for irapada. I told him that it is his own child that would die – his daughter died, of course. It’s been 11 years now and my mom is alive at 75 while my daughter is 19.” @sam_strongest added a critical comment about the nature of the prophet’s visions: “Dem no dey see ‘ìṣípayá’ for people wey dey stay makoko, na only people wey come from abroad.” @DarewellO58421 advised caution, stating: “U need to be careful of your aunt; it could be a setup. Imagine even if the prophecy is real, is the prophet the one that will cancel the whatever. You’re the best prophet over your life. If God has a message, it’s a confirmation of what you already know. Nevertheless, pray about it & be free.”
