Founder and leader of the Prophetic Hill Church, Prophet Nigel Gaisie, says his decision to symbolically refer to Ghana as “Umuofia” in his 31st December prophecies was a strategic move to avoid persecution under a repressive political climate.
In an exclusive interview with Ghana Weekend on Thursday May 22, the outspoken preacher defended his choice of words, saying it was guided by wisdom in response to restrictions placed on prophetic declarations by the previous Police administration in the NPP era.
“When you meet a leadership that is like Herod, I am not John the Baptist,you have to walk in wisdom,” he stated.
“The Bible admonishes us to walk in wisdom. The intent and purpose of the message was carried, and that is all I wanted to put across.”
The Ghana Police Service had previously warned against doom prophecies during New Year’s Eve services, prompting Nigel Gaisie to use the fictional “Republic of Umuofia” as a veil for his messages.
He has now confirmed that “Umuofia” was a metaphor for Ghana.
