Taribo West sparks social media storm with prophecy of Trump’s victory

Former Super Eagles defender now preacher Taribo West has come under criticism on social media following a prophecy that US President Donald Trump would defeat Joe Biden by a slim margin.

The video of the prophecy was posted on social media before the American election but only went viral after the poll had ended.

In the video, West said: “Before the election in Edo, I said Obaseki would win. Is that true? Did he win? Nobody said it anywhere. Nobody quoted me anywhere. I also said in the Ondo election that Akeredolu would win. Is that true? Did he win? He won.

“Now, I want you to put this out the way I want it. Donald Trump will win the election by a slight split edge over Joe Biden. So, quote me and I want it to be out before time.”

Biden won the election but Trump has instituted a legal challenge against the results.
