Popular Nigerian cleric, Prophet Abel Boma, has sent shockwaves across social media with a dire prophecy for the year 2026. In a message released on December 31, 2025, the prophet warned that significant events affecting the nation's political landscape could begin imminently, stating emphatically, "It's starting tonight."
A Vision of Thunder and Lightning
Prophet Boma disclosed that he received a spiritual warning shortly after concluding a live church programme. Addressing his followers on Instagram, he described a powerful vision of repeated "thunder and lightning" in the spiritual realm. According to him, this vision signifies serious impending events tied to Nigeria's political space in the early months of 2026.
"I'm seeing something like thunder and lightning," Boma revealed. "It's about to strike like lightning. When it strikes, one politician will go." He elaborated that the vision showed multiple strikes, with each linked to the exit of a political figure. While he claimed to recognize the individual in the vision, the prophet stated he would not mention names to avoid controversy.
"I know the name. I've seen the picture in front of me, but I can never call the name. I don't want to get into trouble," he explained.
Timeline and Call for Prayer
The prophet indicated that the foreseen events could unfold very soon, potentially between January and March 2026. He stressed that the vision was not limited to a single individual but could involve more than one person over time. "The Lord said: 'Nigeria, I'm prepared. Somebody is about to go,'" he recounted, clarifying that the movement of the spiritual "lightning" was focused squarely on political matters.
Beyond the political prophecy, Prophet Boma issued a fervent call to prayer, specifically urging parents to intercede for their children. With schools preparing to resume, he emphasized a strong spiritual need for protection over students. "Children, pray for your children," Boma urged. "Our schools are resuming. Let's pray for these children," he added, calling for nationwide spiritual vigilance.
