2019: How Pastor Iginla’s prophesies on Buhari came to pass
The prophesies of popular Abuja-based Prophet, Bro. Joshua Iginla, of the Champions Royal Assembly, on the gale of defection that rocked the All Progressives Congress, APC, has been confirmed.
On April 2, 2017 during a live service in Abuja, the prophet said that a lot of political drama would unfold in the month of May, June, July and August
The prophet earlier this year, predicted about the gale of defections and warned President Muhammadu Buhari of betrayers.
And in January 2, 2018, Iginla revealed that there would be massive defection from the APC and that a lot of people will abandon Buhari.
He had said, “In my vision, I saw His Excellency our great President in a big boat surrounded by men.
“They were sailing with him and when they got to the middle of the sea, in this vision, there was a big tempest and the ship was shaking and I saw those around him who are supposed to help him put on life jacket and left him.
“God said I should say to him: there are so many Judases, betrayals and snakes around him.
“They want him to fail and they are already planning for him to sink.
“If you will ask what the mind of God is, please leave 2019 for another person.
“God has used His Excellency to do wonderful things in the country.
“He has fought corruption than anyone has done.
“He has fulfilled his agenda.
“If you ask me, Mr. President, the Judases around you cannot make you to fulfil the remaining mandate.
“They will leave you in the midst of this boat.
“Whether you don’t believe me, this is the mind of God.
“How do you survive when you have so many Judases, you have so many snakes.
“I’m not a politician, I’m a messenger of God.
“What I see is what I will say.”
The APC is currently being rocked by crisis as many top politicians who helped President Buhari ascend power in 2015 are abandoning him defecting to the opposition party, PDP.
Just recently there was mass defection in the Senate, House of Representatives, Houses of Assembly, and state governors.
The defectors include: The President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki; Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom; Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal; and Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed.

Zenith Bank Customers Fume Over Disruptions in Online Services
Customers of Zenith Bank have taken to social media to voice their frustration over difficulties encountered during online banking transactions.
Reports emerged on Tuesday of challenges related to payments and various features, leading to widespread discontent among users on social media platforms like X.
In a statement shared on X on Saturday, Zenith Bank announced that routine maintenance would commence on September 29 and conclude on October 1, running from 12:01 AM to 5:00 AM. The notice, titled ‘Notice of Routine Maintenance,’ stated, “Please be informed that we are currently undertaking routine maintenance of our Information Technology Infrastructure to enable us to significantly improve the quality of service rendered to you.”
However, customers reported that the maintenance did not begin as scheduled, causing considerable inconvenience.
On Tuesday, October 1, 2024, the bank’s Mobile Banking App, USSD Service, Internet Banking, and Corporate Internet Banking platforms remained unavailable for an extended period, specifically between 12:01 AM and 2:30 PM WAT.
One dissatisfied customer, Adetunji Akeem, expressed his frustration, sharing that he was unable to withdraw money for food and transportation to work, which forced him to borrow from colleagues.
“It is frustrating. I haven’t eaten all day because I wasn’t able to withdraw money today. Zenith said they would be undergoing maintenance on Saturday through a pop-up message on the bank app, but they didn’t start until this morning,” he lamented.
Another customer, Adeleye A. P., known on X as #deji4ever, criticised the bank for not scheduling maintenance during the night, especially at the end of the month when many employees are expecting their salaries.
He tweeted, “The worst bank award should be given to Zenith. Why deny customers transfer privileges to other banks on the last day of the month? It’s a bad business strategy to ensure money doesn’t leave its coffers.”
Dave Oriss, tweeting under the handle #orissonline, echoed similar sentiments, adding, “#ZenithBank, you should keep frustrating your customers. Some have emergencies, and you are busy shifting the time for maintenance.”

Iran Claims to Have Fired 200 Missiles at Israel — State Media Reports
Iran fired 200 missiles, including hypersonic weapons, at Israel in a major escalation of the ongoing conflict, state television reported on Wednesday.
The barrage, which Iran claims targeted military bases near Tel Aviv, came as retaliation for the recent killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah by Israeli forces.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed the missile launches, stating that “90 percent” of the projectiles hit their intended targets, which included three military bases.
The footage of the missile strikes was broadcast on Iranian media, showing a significant show of force by Tehran.
The Israeli military countered that 180 missiles had been fired into their territory, with most being intercepted by Israel’s advanced defense systems.
Despite the intercepts, the attack marks the first reported use of hypersonic missiles by Iran against Israel.
Hypersonic missiles, capable of traveling at speeds of up to 15 times the speed of sound, pose a unique threat due to their low-altitude flight path and ability to evade conventional missile defenses.
Iran unveiled this advanced missile technology in June 2023, with then-president Ebrahim Raisi proclaiming it as a cornerstone of Iran’s deterrence capabilities, designed to maintain peace and stability in the region.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded swiftly to the attack, warning that Tehran had made a “big mistake.” He vowed to make Iran “pay” for the strikes, further raising tensions in an already volatile situation.
In Washington, the United States indicated that it was discussing a joint response with Israel.
Meanwhile, Iran’s chief of staff issued a stern warning that Tehran would strike key Israeli infrastructure if Iran’s territory were attacked in retaliation. The region now braces for potential further escalation amid growing fears of a broader conflict.

Authorities have expressed concerns about the recurring boat accidents in the region, calling for urgent measures to improve safety on the waterways.
