In a detailed New Year's address, a prominent Nigerian cleric has outlined a series of significant predictions for the year 2026, forecasting major shifts in the nation's political landscape and economic conditions.
A New Political Force and Warnings for 2027
Apostle Momo Promise, the Senior Pastor of Zion Flames Ministries, delivered his annual message on Thursday, January 1, 2026. He declared that a fresh opposition political party would emerge and gain considerable strength across Nigeria throughout the year. The cleric emphasized that the success of this new party would hinge entirely on its commitment to peaceful politics.
"In 2026, the new opposition party will rise stronger and stronger," Apostle Promise stated. "If they are to conquer, they will conquer by peace. If they take the path of violence, they will be humiliated totally."
Looking ahead to the 2027 general elections, he issued a stark caution to citizens. He warned that wicked individuals would attempt to use innocent people as tools for political violence. "Be wise, don't die in their war," he urged Nigerians.
Economic Forecast: Lower Prices Amidst Cash Crunch
On the economic front, Apostle Promise predicted a noticeable decrease in the prices of goods and commodities in 2026. However, he presented a paradoxical situation where this relief would be offset by a severe lack of purchasing power among the populace.
"In 2026, the price of things will fall. Things will be relatively easy, but people will not have money to buy," he explained, painting a picture of financial strain persisting for many Nigerians despite the positive trend in pricing.
Global Affairs and Divine Judgement
The cleric's prophecies extended beyond Nigeria's borders. He foresaw some major international conflicts beginning to subside, but warned of new economic wars and devastating natural disasters. "I see a major war waged on the economy of the world, and I see heavy flooding destroying parts of the earth," he said.
For Africa, he predicted rising tensions in certain regions and called for greater unity among nations. He also forecasted political change stemming from Uganda's forthcoming general elections.
A significant portion of his message focused on spiritual accountability. Apostle Promise warned of divine judgement against oppressors, specifically targeting those who "trample upon the innocent and treat the poor as nothing." He was unequivocal in his prediction for terrorism sponsors, stating they would face severe consequences and be "brought to utter destruction."
On a brighter note, he predicted that Nigerian athletes would achieve improved performances on the global stage, bringing international recognition to the country.
Concerning the religious sphere, the cleric warned that the Church would encounter increased opposition in 2026, and that false prophets would be exposed. He concluded by affirming that all these declarations reflected his sincere spiritual convictions as part of his annual prophetic duty.
