THE DINNER THAT FORETOLD A NATION’S FUTURE
The Celestial Church of Christ Media Television has released pictorial evidence of an encounter between the founder, Prophet S.B.J. Oshoffa and (then) General Olusegun Obasanjo, the Head of State in 1976 which they termed: The Prophesy of S.B.J. Oshoffa over Nigeria and its Fulfilment.
In the released pictures, Papa Oshoffa was seen in company of some of his members with General Obasanjo.
Below is how the media team encapsulates the encounter:
Sometimes, history isn’t just written in books—- it’s captured in a single, quiet moment over a shared meal.
At Celestial Media Television, we took a journey back to 1976.
This iconic image shows a young General Olusegun Obasanjo (then Head of State) dining with the legendary founder of the Celestial Church of Christ, Rev S.B.J. Oshoffa.
It wasn’t just about the food.
During this dinner at the Presidential Villa in Ikoyi, something supernatural happened.
At a time when Nigeria was facing a deep financial “recession”, Papa Oshoffa didn’t just offer prayers; he offered solutions.
He and his team donated millions of Naira to help stabilize the country’s economy. It was a rare moment where faith and patriotism truly shook hands.
But the real mystery was the spiritual message shared that night.
As they sat together, the Prophet looked at the General and told him: “You will leave this seat, but you will return to lead this nation again for eight years.”
In 1976, that sounded impossible to the natural ear. But as Celestial Media Television tracks the story, we see that God’s word through His Prophet never fails.
Decades later, from 1999 to 2007, the Prophesy became our national reality.
Papa Oshoffa was a man of immense power, known for healing the broken, restoring the lost, and standing with the nation.
This photo reminds us that our story as Nigerians is woven together by leadership, community and the divine.
How time flies!
Looking at this through our lens today, we see a legacy that still speaks and a word that stood the test of time
