Evil spirits caused my wrong prediction – Pastor who said Super Falcons would reach Semifinals

Reverend Dr. Simeon Chinedu Ononogbu, has revealed that ‘spirits’ were responsible for his wrong prediction that the Super Falcons would reach the semi-finals of the FIFA Women World Cup in France.

Ononogbu who was a former secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Ebonyi State decided to clear the air after the Super Eagles crashed out of the competition in the round of 16 in a 3 – 0 defeat to Germany.

He said:

“It is a pity that the prediction on the Falcons failed which means that it was not a revelation from God. We have so many spirits that can deceive people and if we are not careful, we will make mistakes such as this. The bible says that some spirits at times, transform into angels of light to talk to us. We have “fallen’’ spirits that deceive the children of God because we are humans and weaker than the other spirits.

“At times when we don’t interpret properly, we will have problems out of it and this can also be seen as a wrong interpretation,” he said. Ononogbu had predicated that the Falcons would reach the semi-finals of the tournament, while the host, France, would place fifth.

He however maintained that his prediction that France would come fifth in the competition was true and from God reports the News Agency of Nigeria.

“This particular interpretation was clearer than that of the Falcons and we should wait till the end of the competition for its fulfillment,” he said.

Ononogbu urged Nigerians not to judge him with the failed prophesy as he had correctly made eight-significant prophesies which were fulfilled.

“I earlier predicted the visit of Rev, Uma Ukpai to Ebonyi and those who refused to heed the directive on the venue saw the number of people that died,” he revealed.
