A 2019 prediction by bishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams that the African continent would be plagued with coup d’états and general unrest from 2020 onwards is perfectly coming to pass.
The general overseer of the Action Chapel International (ACI) ministry warned in an interview on Metro TV’s Good Evening Ghana that a political uprising similar to the Arab Spring would afflict the continent if leaders continued to fail the youth of the various member countries
“There is a wind coming, and it’s not 2019. It will begin after 2020 going. The Arab uprising is coming; it’s coming not just to Ghana, West Africa, but all over if we don’t do something if we don’t give them hope. That’s why I’m going back to the schools and I’m engaging the youth again because if you don’t give them hope and a sense of direction, the most dangerous thing in life is to fight somebody who has nothing to lose,” the revered man of God cautioned in a video that has resurfaced online.
He went further to add that the African youth was becoming more despondent and the earlier hope was assured them, the better for the continent.
“They don’t have wives, they don’t have children, they don’t have cars, they don’t have lands, they have no hope, nothing to live for; they don’t mind dying.
Well, it doesn’t appear his warning was heeded, and the prediction has since been playing out, with the African continent having experienced no fewer than eight military overthrows of governments, including the latest that occurred in Gabon on August 30, 2023.
