A Nigerian prophet known has Efe Japhet has sparked fresh conversations online after revisiting a prophecy he first shared in 2013, which he believes is now closer than ever to being fulfilled.
In a video shared by @ChucksEriicE on X (formerly Twitter), he claimed God revealed that Nigeria’s next transformational leader will be a young man, no older than 37, who is not currently known in politics and has never built a political career.
In his message, the cleric said the young man would rise unexpectedly and gain massive support from ordinary Nigerians, even without seeking power aggressively:
“This man is not known for politics. He will not be more than 37 years old. He will come out and he will become the president of Nigeria. He will not fight for the position. The masses will hold him and say, we want you here.”
He added that the emergence of this leader would shake Nigeria’s political system from the ground up:
“This man will retire all the political people in Nigeria. He will collect all our money that is outside. He will force our people abroad to come back to Nigeria.”
The cleric also claimed that under the young leader, Nigeria would undergo major structural changes. He said the country may split into three or four groups operating under one central umbrella.
He insisted that when the time comes, no political force will be strong enough to stop this young man from rising to power.
The prophecy has drawn mixed reactions across social media, whether viewed as a divine revelation or a bold prediction, the prophecy has stirred curiosity about Nigeria’s future and about who this mysterious young leader might be.
