A Nigerian prophet has stirred conversations online with a divine prediction for the highly anticipated Africa Cup of Nations semi-final match between Nigeria and Morocco.
Prophet's Message and Prediction for Super Eagles
Ahead of the crucial AFCON 2025 semi-final match scheduled for Wednesday, 14 January 2026, Prophet Sam Emaiku took to his TikTok page, identified as @prophetsam570, to deliver a message. He specifically addressed Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen and forecasted the outcome of the Nigeria versus Morocco clash.
The prophet declared that Nigeria would emerge victorious. In a video message, he instructed Osimhen to collaborate closely with a teammate. He was quoted saying: "Victor Osimhen and one other tall guy dark in complexion, work together. The number 9, with you 7, work together. It’s gonna happen in a way that success will be ours." Prophet Emaiku also claimed to have insight into a strategic plan devised by the Moroccan camp ahead of the match.
Netizens React to the AFCON Prophecy
The prophet's prediction sparked a flurry of mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media. While some expressed faith and gratitude for the positive forecast, others were skeptical about the nature of such prophecies.
One user, @Cleveland, claimed to have had a similar vision, predicting a 2-0 win for Nigeria despite anticipated biased refereeing. Another, @omoolabode0, voiced concern, mentioning a conflicting prediction from a Cameroonian pastor who favored Morocco, and urged prayers for Nigeria's victory.
Skeptical comments questioned the prophet's motives. @Îtz Daniel Eskay asked: "pastor are you a pastor or a commentator,are we to give offering or seed?" Similarly, @Mes1987 noted the non-accountability often associated with such predictions, stating that if Nigeria wins, the prophecy is fulfilled, but a loss would be attributed to God's will.
Context: Nigeria's Road to the Semi-Finals
The Super Eagles secured their place in the AFCON 2025 semi-finals after a convincing 2-0 victory over Algeria's Desert Foxes in the quarter-final match played on Saturday, 10 January 2026. This set the stage for the epic showdown with the Atlas Lions of Morocco.
This is not the first prediction to surface around Nigeria's AFCON journey. Legit.ng previously reported on a man who accurately forecasted the 2-0 scoreline in the Nigeria vs Algeria quarter-final, who has also shared his vision for the semi-final match.
As the nation holds its breath for the Wednesday clash, the prophecy from Sam Emaiku has added an extra layer of spiritual intrigue to the sporting contest, reflecting the deep passion and faith that often accompanies football in Nigeria.
