At the start of each new year, people often pray, express wishes for a prosperous year, or set personal goals to avoid negative experiences. This practice is also common among Christians, especially in Africa, where there is significant anticipation for new prophecies from religious leaders and pastors.
These prophetic messages are typically shared during New Year’s Eve services, marking the transition from December 31st to January 1st. Despite warnings from authorities urging caution when delivering prophecies, spiritual leaders continue to announce their predictions.
