Self-proclaimed preacher, Prophet Metuh, has offered an explanation for why his prophecy of the world ending on Thursday, April 25, did not come to pass.
Metuh had caused a stir on social media with his initial revelation, claiming that God had informed him of the impending doom during prayer.
However, in a statement on his X account on Saturday, Metuh attributed the prophecy’s failure to the intervention of God, who he said showed mercy after he and his followers completed a 21-day fasting and prayer period.
While some social media users have accepted Metuh’s explanation, others have criticized him for causing unnecessary fear and confusion among people.
Many have also questioned the logic behind the initial prophecy, wondering why God would reveal such information only to change his mind later.
Reacting to this, an X user Ebubedike tweeting with the handle #chukuwu_io said, “You get luck say we no dey Old Testament again. In the meantime, enjoy your Elon’s money.”
Vlad who tweets as #AbiodunOmonijo said, ‘So you were already on the 21-day fasting and prayer when you made the announcement, why were you so emphatic there would be rapture then? Does that make sense to you?”
A user, Mazi Malek, on X.com, who identifies as #Maleek_Chukwu, said, “No go find work, dey dia n’ezuzugharị. You want to tell us now that you covered 21 days of prayers within 8 days?? You get luck say Saul don turn Paul.”
A tweep, Youth President, who tweets anonymously as #admike007 said, “This is one thing I hate about Christians, always so called prophets trying to play fool with the maker himself. Uno fear anything. Hm GOD isn’t your headmaster to be joking with.”
