“Many Politicians Will Die This Year” — Prophet Olubo Issues Stark Prophetic Warning Amid Nigeria’s Deepening Crisis

By: Sesan Rufus Awobiye.

During the interview with Momentous Media Crew, Apostle Bayode Oluwole Olubo delivered what he described as a prophetic warning concerning Nigeria’s political landscape, stating that many politicians may face grave consequences if the nation’s current hardship and insecurity persist unchecked. According to the cleric, the rising anger, hunger and frustration among Nigerians have created what he called a dangerous spiritual and social atmosphere across the country.

“Nemesis will catch up with many politicians,” he declared. “Many politicians will die this year.” While he did not mention specific individuals, Olubo insisted that leaders who govern without

The House of His Grace Ministry International founder speaks on insecurity, hunger, prophecy, welfare ministry, and why he believes Nigeria is sitting on the edge of a national emergency.

Against the backdrop of worsening economic hardship, insecurity and growing public frustration across Nigeria, Bayode Oluwole Olubo has delivered one of his strongest public commentaries yet on the state of the nation.

 

The outspoken cleric, popularly known as the “Apostle of Favor,” believes Nigeria has reached a dangerous crossroads — one that requires urgent and radical solutions.

 

“Break the nation into three or four regions,” he declared during an extensive interview with Momentous Media. “That is the only solution to this country’s problems.”

 

Speaking with visible emotion, the founder of the House of His Grace Ministry International argued that hunger, insecurity and economic inequality have pushed millions of Nigerians into frustration and despair.

 

“People are angry. People are hungry,” he said repeatedly. “The policies are favouring the super rich while ordinary people are suffering.”

 

For Olubo, the country’s deepening insecurity is no longer just a political issue but a humanitarian emergency.

 

“Our people cannot even go to their farms anymore,” he lamented. “People are scared of being kidnapped. There is fear everywhere.”

 

The cleric proposed what many would consider a controversial solution: regional autonomy.

 

“Let the South-West stand on its own, let the South-East stand on its own, let the South-South stand on its own and let the North stand on its own,” he said. “If that happens, insecurity will reduce drastically.”

 

But beyond politics and governance, the interview revealed a deeply unconventional spiritual figure whose ministry, according to him, has been shaped by prophecy, sacrifice, welfare and what he describes as divine encounters stretching back to childhood.

 

 

“I Was Called Before I Was Born”

 

Raised within the tradition of the Christ Apostolic Church, Olubo said his prophetic journey began at an early age.

 

“I started prophesying when I was eight years old,” he recalled. “My mother told me God revealed before I was born that I would become a prophet.”

 

Though he now leads a growing ministry, he admitted that accepting the call was a long and difficult process.

 

“I’m stubborn, but I love God passionately,” he said candidly. “I backslid many times because I didn’t want to do ministry.”

 

Over the years, he moved through different Christian traditions, including the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Celestial and Cherubim & Seraphim congregations, searching for what he described as spiritual direction and power.

 

Despite his restless journey, he insists his assignment eventually became clear: restoring hope and dignity through favour.

 

“My message is favour,” he explained. “I carry the aura of timely help.”

 

 

Ministry Built on Welfare, Not Numbers

 

Unlike many modern ministries focused on expansion and visibility, Olubo says his vision centres on humanitarian outreach rather than crowd size.

 

According to him, God instructed him that his ministry would become known through welfare.

 

He recounted hosting more than 3,000 widows during a major outreach programme despite having what he described as a relatively small congregation.

 

“We didn’t even have up to 100 members,” he said. “But God told me welfare would define this ministry.”

 

The cleric also revealed that he increased his tithing commitment from 20 per cent to 80 per cent later in life as part of what he described as a covenant with God.

 

“I told God I wanted to remain in kingdom work for 80 years,” he explained.

 

Throughout the interview, themes of gratitude, giving and contentment dominated his reflections.

 

“Nothing must be too much to give,” he said. “If you want to live well in life, help other people solve their problems.”

 

 

Predictions, Prophecies and National Anxiety

 

Olubo’s comments became even more intense when the conversation turned to the future of Nigeria’s political class.

 

In a chilling statement, the cleric warned that many politicians may not survive the nation’s unfolding tensions.

 

“Nemesis will catch up with many politicians,” he declared. “Many politicians will die this year.”

 

While he did not mention specific names, the statement underscored the depth of his frustration with Nigeria’s leadership culture.

 

According to him, leaders who govern with “callousness” risk both public anger and historical judgment.

 

“When you lead people without compassion, you are destroying destinies,” he said.

 

Though he acknowledged that certain economic reforms and debt-clearing efforts may be ongoing within government circles, he argued that the suffering of ordinary Nigerians continues to overshadow such achievements.

 

“There may be projects underground,” he noted, “but the masses are not feeling relief.”

 

 

“Beyond the Cross”

 

Olubo also reflected on the inspiration behind his Easter Convention themed *Beyond the Cross*, which he described as a message of restoration, salvation and divine protection.

 

“Beyond the cross is restoration. Beyond the cross is revelation. Beyond the cross is hope,” he said.

 

The cleric shared several deeply personal stories about spiritual encounters, including moments where he believes God communicated directly with him through visions and scripture.

 

One such experience allegedly occurred in 2006 shortly after his 40th birthday, when he claimed he was instructed to open specific biblical passages under supernatural illumination.

 

“He told me my ministry would pass through seven stages before fulfilment,” he recalled.

 

 

Miracles and “Timely Help”

 

Like many prophetic ministers, Olubo narrated several testimonies involving healing and divine intervention.

 

He recounted the story of a man whose injured leg was allegedly scheduled for amputation before receiving healing after a prophetic encounter in church.

 

Another testimony involved a church cleaner who reportedly regained mobility after suffering a serious leg injury from a fall.

 

While critics may question such accounts, Olubo maintains that he avoids sensationalism and exaggeration.

 

“I hate lies,” he said firmly. “I don’t like overhyping miracles.”

 

Instead, he insists his mission is centred on helping people and demonstrating compassion.

 

“All I want to do is help people,” he added quietly.

 

 

“Follow the Cloud, Not the Crowd”

 

Perhaps the clearest summary of Olubo’s philosophy came in one simple sentence:

 

“God told me to follow the cloud, not the crowd.”

 

For the cleric, ministry is not about competition, influence or aesthetics. He says he has sold personal belongings, including vehicles, to care for widows and struggling families.

 

He also insists he has no obsession with building mega congregations.

 

“I’m not competing with anybody,” he said.

 

Yet despite his calm tone, his warnings about Nigeria carried unmistakable urgency.

 

To supporters, Apostle Bayode Oluwole Olubo represents a prophetic voice crying out in difficult times. To critics, he remains one of many controversial clerics making bold national pronouncements in a tense political atmosphere.

 

But whether viewed through faith, politics or social commentary, his message reflects the anxieties of millions of Nigerians struggling with uncertainty, inflation, insecurity and fading hope.

 

And as debates over the nation’s future continue, Olubo’s declaration remains one of the most striking takeaways from the conversation:

 

“People are angry. People are hungry.”
