After Nnamdi Kanu’s sentencing, the comment section turned into a prophecy arena — with one user boldly claiming: “He will be free before next year Friday, I have seen it.”
This kind of prediction might sound comforting to supporters, but it also reflects a deeper issue: many Nigerians no longer trust institutions enough to believe outcomes will follow legal processes. Instead, they lean on visions, vibes, or spiritual forecasts to make sense of political events.
The danger with comments like this is how easily they can create false hope or fuel conspiracy theories when reality doesn’t match the prophecy. Judicial matters require evidence, appeals, and legal strategy — not mystical timelines.
In moments like this, what’s needed isn’t predictions pulled from thin air but clarity, facts, and serious engagement with the justice system.
