He further forecasted that two airlines, one of which is owned by an indigene of Delta State, would have their licenses withdrawn as an aftermath of the coming disaster.

Nevertheless, his message is not entirely apocalyptic. There was a ray of hope concerning his foresight about the state of the nation particularly with regard to the spate of incessant killings by terrorists in the northern part of the country.

2. Death of one of the state governors in the country.

3. Demise of a serving Minister in the country.

4. A man called Mr. Douglas, working with Mr. President should pray because God wants to heal him for a purpose. He needs to avoid some things to guarantee his total restoration.

5. A serious flood at Lekki, Parkview and Oniru areas will claim many lives

6. There should be prayers for Queen Elizabeth against untimely date. The UK should expect two Kings in quick successions.

7. Ministers of God, a prominent general overseer and a woman of God, will pass on this year. Not for evil but for good; as their assignments on earth has been concluded. One is from the east; the other is from the west.

8. President Ellen Sirleaf-Johnson of Liberia should pray against sickness. She will be terribly sick.

9. A young president by revolution is coming from Edo State to bring peace forever to our nation, Nigeria.

10. The Lord told me, the only airline that is safe to fly is Air Nigeria.
