Pro Joshua Iginla declares Fasting and Prayer for President Buhari over health saga

Published

on

 

Popular Abuja prophet, Pro joshua Iginla who rightly predicted the unscheduled medical trip of President Buhari early this year has warned the presidency again not to politicise his health based on what God revealed to him and he also enjoined his followers to fast and pray along for him on Friday.

The Abuja based clergy and shepherd in charge of Champions Royal Assembly re-emphasised this issue on Sunday while issuing international prophetic advice. It would be recalled that he was the only clergy who accurately gave a prophetic message to President Buhari in March 2017 while he was in London for his medical vacation that he saw him going back again impromptu if he ignored his warning and which occurred as the president went back again on Sunday, May 7, 2017 for another round of medical treatment. “We are going to spend our time praying for the president of Nigeria. Hallelujah….I have a prophetic message for his excellency, the president of this country. No president ever become the president without the hand of God, either permissive will or perfect will. So when God put anyone there, it is for a purpose. I’m just a prophet with a message and what is the message? The Lord said take care of your health, don’t allow people around you to use your head to play politics. In my vision, i saw some people preparing with army boots and uniform saying take your bag and start travelling and i saw some group of doctors with whites saying don’t wear this boots, lets be through with you. It’s a prophetic advice, treat yourself, listen to the medical advice and don’t hurry home because what is the need of coming home and rushing back? It is the rushing back that is the major reason God is saying we should pray for you and i should tell you. God has brought you this far, the seat is there and nobody will take it from you; it is only the living that can rule Nigeria and not the dead. Wait until there is a medical clearance (that is what God said i should tell you.) Do not allow politicians to use your head to play politics, only the living can lead Nigeria. In my vision, I saw some people saying wear the boot wear the boot….somebody landed in the country….what is this landing and what is this impromptu journey out again? This is because there was an unfinished business medically. Let your persecutors persecute you and say whatever they want to say but make sure you give your health attention…..It is only the living that can rule Nigeria…..what is the essence of me coming back and everybody is saying oh i am back and after sometime i can no longer hold it again? What is the essence of me being carried and i don’t even know where am carried to? This is the vision i saw while in South Africa…………..”

Interestingly, Iginla, in his 73 prophetic insights for the year, had said that the President would travel out for an unscheduled health checkup, but this time, it will be more serious. True to his words, the 8th prophecy out of his 73 point 2017 predictions came to pass when the President went for an unscheduled medical trip in january 2017 where he spent 51 days against the initial 10 day visit. “…8) His Excellency, Mr. President should pray for his health, I see him traveling out for an unscheduled health checkup. But this time, it will be more serious. He should pray for his health, God will keep him.

Nigeria’s Inflation Drops to 15.10% as NBS Reports Deflationary Trend

Nigeria’s Inflation Drops to 15.10% as NBS Reports Deflationary Trend

Nigeria’s headline inflation rate declined to 15.10 per cent in January 2026, marking a significant drop from 27.61 per cent recorded in January 2025, according to the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released by the National Bureau of Statistics.

The report also showed that month-on-month inflation recorded a deflationary trend of –2.88 per cent, representing a 3.42 percentage-point decrease compared to December 2025. Analysts say the development signals easing price pressures across key sectors of the economy.

Food inflation stood at 8.89 per cent year-on-year, down from 29.63 per cent in January 2025. On a month-on-month basis, food prices declined by 6.02 per cent, reflecting lower costs in several staple commodities.

The data suggests a sustained downward trajectory in inflation over the past 12 months, pointing to improving macroeconomic stability.

The administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has consistently attributed recent economic adjustments to ongoing fiscal and monetary reforms aimed at stabilising prices, boosting agricultural output, and strengthening domestic supply chains.

Economic analysts note that while the latest figures indicate progress, sustaining the downward trend will depend on continued policy discipline, exchange rate stability, and improvements in food production and distribution.

The January report provides one of the clearest indications yet that inflationary pressures, which surged in early 2025, may be moderating.

GTBank Launches Quick Airtime Loan at 2.95%

 

Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd (GTBank), the flagship banking franchise of GTCO Plc, Africa’s leading financial services group, today announced the launch of Quick Airtime Loan, an innovative digital solution that gives customers instant access to airtime when they run out of call credit and have limited funds in their bank accounts, ensuring customers can stay connected when it matters most.

 

In today’s always-on world, running out of airtime is more than a minor inconvenience. It can mean missed opportunities, disrupted plans, and lost connections, often at the very moment when funds are tight, and options are limited. Quick Airtime Loan was created to solve this problem, offering customers instant access to airtime on credit, directly from their bank. With Quick Airtime Loan, eligible GTBank customers can access from ₦100 and up to ₦10,000 by dialing *737*90#. Available across all major mobile networks in Nigeria, the service will soon expand to include data loans, further strengthening its proposition as a reliable on-demand platform.

For years, the airtime credit market has been dominated by Telcos, where charges for this service are at 15%. GTBank is now changing the narrative by offering a customer-centric, bank-led digital alternative priced at 2.95%. Built on transparency, convenience and affordability, Quick Airtime Loan has the potential to broaden access to airtime, deliver meaningful cost savings for millions of Nigerians, and redefine how financial services show up in everyday life, not just in banking moments.

Commenting on the product launch, Miriam Olusanya, Managing Director of Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd, said: “Quick Airtime Loan reflects GTBank’s continued focus on delivering digital solutions that are relevant, accessible, and built around real customer needs. The solution underscores the power of a connected financial ecosystem, combining GTBank’s digital reach and lending expertise with the capabilities of HabariPay to deliver a smooth, end-to-end experience.

Leveraging HabariPay’s Squad, the solution reinforces the Group’s ecosystem proposition by bringing together banking, payment technology, and digital channels to deliver intuitive, one-stop experiences for customers.

With this new product launch, Guaranty Trust Bank is extending its legacy of pioneering digital-first solutions that have redefined customer access to financial services across the industry, building on the proven strength of its widely adopted QuickCredit offering and the convenience of the Bank’s iconic *737# USSD Banking platform.
