  • Many Nigerian entertainers will die in 2017- Soul E

    The beginning of every new year is a period when different prophets come up with different prophecies for the new year.

    Former Afro-pop singer turned Prophet, Emmanuel Okose a.k.a Soul E took to his Facebook page to reveal his own prophecies for the 2017.

    According to him:”Nigeria needs to pray for the entertainment industry. Many talents in the music,comedy and movie industries would be lost.”

    Still on Nigeria, the president would spend 8 years in office. This will be a narrow escape but I see it happening.

    Russia will face so many obstacles this year from different nations. It’s not going to be a good year for them politically. I also see an assassination attempt on the president.

    Ghana will face serious economical hard times. The new president would face an onslaught of oppositions.

    The President of South Africa needs serious prayers over his health. I see them lose someone quite influential in the political sector. Schools, buses would go on strike. So much confusion in the nation of South Africa. They need to pray seriously.

    Nigeria needs to pray for the entertainment industry. Many talents in the music,comedy and movie industries would be lost.

    Still on Nigeria, the president would spend 8 years in office. This will be a narrow escape but I see it happening.

    I see the oil price rising yet again and this will cause a lot of confusion in the oil sector. Pray for Nigeria in ernest.

    “False prophets/churches will be closed down. The judgement of God Almighty is coming down on the church this year. God has heard the cries of the innocent. False men of God will die this year.”

    “God told me that, the year 2017 will be the best year for Nigerians. It will be so easy to buy houses, land, cars and such for the righteous. There would be so much wealth for them.”

    ” The new President of America needs to pray. I see an assassination attempt against his life. In addition, serious disagreements between him and members of his parliament would happen because of his style of administration.”

    In his 2014 prophesy, Soul E said Davido was going to be involved in a fatal accident and that Wizkid was going to be poisoned. We can’t recall these happening to these individuals.
