Other reactions from Nigerians
Simeon Ibe Anusionwu said:
"Such a long fasting must be commissioned and sustained by the Holy Spirit or else a negative tale would ensue!"
Folorunsho Dan Oliye said:
"Jesus is a spirit which came as a person, his body was different why will the pastor try what the Messiah did."
Nwobodo Onovoani Anthony said:
"Unfortunately, the man thought Lord Jesus embarked on a long time fasting on his own volition. He was led by the holy spirit to do so. The strenght He used also came from the Holy Spirit too. Lord Jesus was not an ordinary man. Everything he said and did were instructions from his father in heaven, He did nothing on His own. You too must depend on Holy Spirit for directions."
Coup: Powerful pastor reveals fresh prophecy, speaks on actual danger ahead
In another report, Primate Elijah Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church predicted a possible crisis which will be determined by the result of the forthcoming presidential election.
The religious leader predicted a crisis in the country if Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his counterpart in the Labour Party, Peter Obi, did not win the poll.
However, while speaking to journalists in Lagos on Wednesday, February 15, the cleric dismissed the report of a possible coup in the country.
