South African Based Pastor Declares Davido Nigeria’s Destined President, People handpick VDM as vice

The Nigerian internet space is buzzing with mixed reactions following an unexpected prophecy from South African clergyman Pastor John Anosike about Afrobeats superstar Davido.

In a viral video from his Cape Town church, New World Faith Ministries, Pastor Anosike made a startling declaration during a recent service. According to the pastor, God has specifically anointed the “Unavailable” hitmaker to transform Nigeria’s struggling economy and eventually lead the nation as president.

The Prophecy That Got Everyone Talking

Pastor Anosike’s prophetic message was both detailed and surprising. He claimed that despite Davido’s secular music career, the artist has been divinely chosen for a greater purpose.

“God has put oil on him. He calls him my servant. For he shall be the president of Nigeria, and he shall unite the country,” the pastor declared. “In the spirit realm, I saw him kneeling before Jesus, and the Lord took a jar of oil and poured it upon his head.”

The clergyman also suggested that Davido’s recent reconciliation with his daughter and his music career are signs pointing to his destined greatness.

Nigerians React: From Skepticism to Support

As expected, the prophecy has divided Nigerian social media users. While some dismissed it as wishful thinking, others expressed genuine support for the idea.

One user humorously suggested, “If Davido becomes president, VDM should be Vice President,” referencing the popular social media activist. Another fan declared, “I will vote for him without blinking. Davido for president!”

However, not everyone was convinced. Some questioned the clarity of the pastor’s vision, while others wondered about the practical implications of such a prophecy.

Political DNA: Is There Merit to the Claim?

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Davido’s political potential has been discussed. Senator Ben Murray Bruce previously predicted that the singer could become Osun State Governor, citing his family’s political background and what he called Davido’s “political DNA.”

The Adeleke family has deep political roots in Osun State, with Davido’s uncle, Ademola Adeleke, currently serving as the state’s governor. Davido played an active role in his uncle’s successful gubernatorial campaign, demonstrating his political awareness and influence.

Beyond Music: Davido’s Growing Political Involvement

Over the years, Davido has increasingly engaged with Nigerian politics. He’s been vocal about electoral processes, particularly criticizing INEC (Independent National Electoral Commission) during the Edo State gubernatorial elections. The artist has also shown concern for democratic processes and citizen participation.

His political involvement extends beyond family loyalty. Davido has used his massive platform to advocate for better governance and has shown genuine interest in Nigeria’s political landscape.

The Bigger Picture

While prophecies about celebrities entering politics often generate buzz, they also reflect deeper conversations about leadership and change in Nigeria. Many young Nigerians are frustrated with traditional politicians and may be more open to unconventional leadership options.

Whether Pastor Anosike’s prophecy holds any weight remains to be seen. However, it has certainly sparked important discussions about youth involvement in politics, the role of celebrities in governance, and what Nigerians truly want from their leaders.

For now, Davido continues to focus on his music career, but given his family’s political background and his growing influence, a future in politics might not be entirely far-fetched.
