The recent road accident involving world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has taken a spiritual turn in Nigeria, with an old prophecy resurfacing and sparking intense online debate.
Accident Details and Prophetic Resurgence
The accident occurred on Monday, December 29, 2025, along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway within the Makun axis of Ogun state. The tragic incident claimed the lives of two foreign nationals. Amid the ensuing wave of concern from the government, the public, and the sports community, a Nigerian female seer known as Bright The Seer brought a previously shared prophecy back into the spotlight.
She reposted a video of a prophecy originally shared in October, in which she stated that God showed her a popular boxer would lose loved ones. While she did not mention Joshua by name at the time, the seer reshared the clip following the accident as a confirmation of what she was shown.
Mixed Public Reactions to the Prophecy
The video quickly elicited a flood of mixed reactions from Nigerians across social media platforms. A significant point of contention among commentators was the perceived inability to avert such negative prophecies.
One user, berniceben1985, questioned, "Does it mean these negative prophesies can't be averted? God please." Another comment from mamau_go echoed a similar sentiment of frustration: "What is the essence of prophesying and not breaking it? I don't trust all these online seers. They only see but can't break it."
Other reactions called for prayers and redemption. User bb_banna commented, "Ikaraka! May God give us the grace to pray against negative prophecy when delivered to us! Amen." Meanwhile, edithruchy asked, "Which seer can see and redeem ? You are gifted next is praying for it not to happen."
Focus on Nigeria's Infamous Highway
The incident has also redirected public attention to the perennial dangers of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Long regarded as one of the deadliest roads in Nigeria, the expressway's safety record has been a major concern for years. Joshua's accident serves as another grim reminder of the urgent need for improved road safety measures and infrastructure on this critical transport corridor.
The event, blending high-profile celebrity news with spiritual discourse, has captivated the Nigerian public, highlighting the complex interplay between fate, faith, and forewarning in the national consciousness.
