As a very religious country, we all know the knack of Nigerian pastors for predicting the outcome of major international events. While some of these prophecies come true, others have gone over the goal post which has no doubt questioned the authenticity of these prophecies.
A Nigerian pastor who thrives on releasing alarming prophecies is Prophet T.B. Joshua, the General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of God. Amongst his prophesies are the death of Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and Malawian President Peter Mutharika.
More recently, on November 6, T.B Joshua predicted that Hillary Clinton will be the next Potus. But, fast forward to today, Donald Trump has been elected the 45th president of America.
Now Nigerians are gunning for T.B. Joshua on twitter for getting it wrong this time. Here are some of the hilarious tweets:

Meanwhile, Nigerians haven’t spared Nobel Laurette, Wole Soyinka who said that he will cut up his green card if Donald Trump emerges as winner of the US presidential election. The green card is a permanent residence permit for the US – prized by many African immigrants to the US.
@meks2850 wants channelstv to cover the ‘cut up’ live
Dear @channelstv kindly send a camera crew to Wole Soyinka's house.
We would like to watch the passport tearing ceremony ON AIR.
Thanks.

@renoomokri admonish Soyinka to think twice before tearing his card
Dear Professor Wole Soyinka, please think twice before you tear your Green Card. You may find the recession back home hard to deal with!

@Maybeks Be like Obasanjo!
Like Obasanjo, can Wole Soyinka, the man who openly called the First Lady of Nigeria a hippo come on live TV to tear his green card? Sigh!
