Nigerian Prophet Issues Warning on Hugging Strangers
Prophet Abel Tamunominabo Boma, a prominent Nigerian cleric, has issued a stark caution against hugging strangers, citing significant spiritual risks. In a recent social media video that garnered over 1,000 views, Boma emphasized the importance of being aware of others' spiritual levels before engaging in physical contact.
Spiritual Dangers of Physical Interactions
Prophet Boma, based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, shared his message via his verified X (formerly Twitter) page. He stated, "Stop hugging people you don't know their life. Is it not just a hug? 'Just hug me now baby, hug me'. That's another pattern they will use to collect your soul." He further elaborated that hugs can lead to unwanted spiritual connections, potentially affecting one's well-being.
Boma advised against hugging or even shaking hands with individuals whose spiritual backgrounds are unknown. He warned, "Don't hug anybody you don't know their spiritual value. Let no one hug you and hug away your spirit." This guidance comes amid broader discussions on personal safety and spiritual awareness in Nigeria.
Call for State Police to Address Insecurity
In addition to his spiritual warnings, Prophet Boma addressed national security concerns. He asserted that "the only way Nigeria can truly be saved is through state police," a vision he claimed was revealed to him. He urged for the urgent establishment of state police, stating it is essential for lasting stability and security in the country.
The debate over state police in Nigeria has been ongoing, with advocates arguing that restructuring the policing system is necessary to combat persistent violence. For decades, regions like northern Nigeria have faced deadly attacks from groups such as Boko Haram, leading to widespread displacement and international concern.
Prophecy for 2026
Prophet Boma also released a prophecy for 2026, predicting it will be "a dramatic year" where "men will begin to lose relevance." This forecast adds to his reputation as an outspoken figure in Nigerian religious circles, often blending spiritual insights with social commentary.
As Nigeria grapples with both spiritual and security challenges, Boma's messages highlight the intersection of faith and public life, urging caution in personal interactions while advocating for systemic changes to enhance national safety.
