It's no news that as we move into new year, religious leaders tend to make prophecies for the newly born year. We have seen some pastors make prophecies on Nigerian politicians and most prominent Nigerians, predicting one or two things especially bad occurrence that might happen to them. This act is most common among Christian clerics, i am yet to see an Islamic cleric making prophecies, this is not to demean the followers of Christ anyway.
I have the following questions to ask nairalanders on prophecies made on every new year by religious leaders.
1) Do you see these predictors as really talking from what the Almighty God revealed to them?
2) God is believed to be of good while Satan is of bad, why religious leaders are always predicting bad?
3) Do you see them as attention seekers, especially from the political class?
4) Are they not ashamed of making prophecies that we still turn out to be false? They call it prophecy anyway, it might turn out to be false just because it is prediction.
