A prominent Ghanaian cleric has released a series of stark predictions for Nigeria in the coming year, calling for urgent prayer and national vigilance. Apostle Dr Elijah Kofi King of the Fire Nation Arena Ministries shared a detailed 2026 prophecy in a social media video, forecasting events ranging from political upheaval and economic reforms to natural disasters and severe security threats.
Core Prophecies: Corruption, Currency, and a Young Leader
In a message titled '2026 Prophecy for Nigeria,' seen by Legit.ng and published on December 18, 2025, Apostle King made several specific claims. He asserted that a "radical and ruthless anti-corruption exposé" is imminent, targeting high-profile politicians including governors and government officials. He described this as part of a divine revival for the nation.
The Ghanaian pastor also prophesied a significant re-evaluation or reform of the Nigerian currency, the naira, which he said would spark extensive public debate aimed at reviving the economy. Furthermore, he predicted attempts to "take down a big oil company," which would face protests and sabotage within the year.
On a more hopeful note, Apostle King foresaw the rise of a young, divinely anointed politician who would gain unexpected fame and popularity among Nigerian youth. He advised this unnamed figure to connect with the right spiritual leaders for guidance.
Dire Warnings: Floods, Accidents, and Foreign Attackers
The prophecy took a darker turn with warnings of natural and man-made calamities. Apostle King urgently called on Nigerians to pray against serious flooding in 2026. He also foresaw a major accident that would cause national mourning and an incident involving an underground oil and gas pipeline erupting in flames.
Most alarmingly, he warned of potential mass bloodshed orchestrated by foreign visitors. "I saw visitors coming into Nigeria. Their main purpose is to come and spill blood," he stated, describing visions of guns, violence, and bodies in the streets. He urged spiritual and physical caution regarding the visitors Nigeria receives in 2026.
Additionally, he mentioned a projected "evil wind" of sickness and predicted the arrival of a major foreign investment that would excite the nation.
Context and Public Reaction
This prophecy comes as Nigeria continues to grapple with complex and multifaceted security challenges, including terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping across several regions. The release of New Year prophecies by clerics is a common occurrence, often met with a mix of hope, scepticism, anxiety, and fear among the populace.
Legit.ng notes that several other African pastors are expected to release their own forecasts before the end of 2025. The report also references a previous troubling prophecy by a Nigerian pastor about the possibility of war, which surfaced weeks before former US President Donald Trump's controversial remarks about a potential military invasion of Nigeria.
The full seven-minute video from Apostle Elijah Kofi King, urging prayer against attacks and accidents, remains available on social media for public viewing.
