TB Joshua Says, "I saw the Eagles victory"
The victory of Nigeria's Super Eagles over the Stallions of
Burkina Faso at the final of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South
Africa yesterday did not come as a surprise to the General Overseer of
The Synagogue Church Of All Nations, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua,
who had on Thursday last week predicted that Stephen Keshi and his team
would defeat their opponents to lift the Africa Cup.
Sunday Mba's brilliant winner ended Nigeria's 19-year wait for the
Africa Nations Cup title. Mba flicked the ball over Mohamed Koffi of
Burkina Faso before volleying home five minutes before the break.
Before the crucial final, T.B. Joshua said that though the match
would be tough, the Eagles would win - and they indeed defeated Burkina
Faso to win the coveted trophy Sunday night in Johannesburg, South
Africa.
Speaking shortly after the match last night, T.B.Joshua noted that the Nigerian team won the match as he predicted.
"I told you that the Eagles' case was like the biblical Jacob who
wrestled with God, saying that unless God blessed him he will not let
Him go. I saw the victory coming," he said.
Prophet Joshua had churned out a lot of football prophecies that came
to pass. He predicted that the Satellites of Ghana would win the 2009
World Youth Championship, WYC, that was hosted by Egypt. He also
predicted the outcome of the matches between Ghana and Nigeria at the
Nations Cup in 2008. Another preidction was Nigeria’s loss to Tunisia in
the 2004 Nations Cup in the semi final. In the qualifying matches to
the South Africa 2010 World Cup, he predicted that Coach Shuaibu Amodu
would qualify Nigeria for the Mundial and it came to pass.
Even at the just concluded 29th edition of the Nations Cup in South
Africa, the Prophet told the Super Eagles that they were going to
concede a late minute equaliser against the Stallions of Burkina Faso in
their Group C opener, which came to pass.
He was also able to predict correctly the outcome of the second
semi-final clash between Burkina Faso and the Black Stars of Ghana,
which saw Burkina Faso, beating Ghana through penalties.
His two predictions will live to haunt the Elephants of Ivory Coast
for a very longtime as he once told them that they were going to reach
the final of the 2012 edition of the Nations Cup in Gabon and Equatorial
Guinea, but they would lose the trophy to the Chipolopolo of Zambia.
The second prediction that jolted Didier Drogba-inspired Ivory Coast
was that the Eagles would send them packing from the South Africa 2013
Nations Cup which came to pass when they lost 1-2 to the Nigerian team.
