3. Prophet predicts Nigeria vs Morocco match
A Nigerian prophet's accurate prediction of Nigeria's defeat to Morocco in the AFCON semi-finals sparked widespread amazement on social media.
The prophet, known as Prophet Elijah on Facebook, stated that he had seen Morocco emerging victorious, but believed a call from Nigerian musician Davido would have altered the course of the game in Nigeria's favour.
The prophet had warned of Morocco's impending win, attributing the potential change in outcome to Davido's involvement.
Elijah took credit for predicting the 4-2 scoreline, congratulating Morocco on their advancement to the final and Nigeria on reaching the semi-finals.
He attributed the Nigerian team's loss to Davido's failure to heed his request for a call, which he claimed would have secured a favourable outcome.
His statement after the match proved his confidence in his abilities, as he cited a previous instance where he claimed to have changed the outcome of a match between Cameroon and South Africa through his prayers.
Elijah offered his services to anyone seeking to alter an undesirable outcome, and people rushed to the comments section to react.
His prediction and subsequent explanation sparked interest, with many social media users reacting to his claims.
