Prophet TB Joshua, influential Nigerian TV evangelist said that he had already seen that Hillary Clinton would win the US presidential election but this assertion has been removed from his Facebook account.
However, what is causing confusion is how Prophet TB Joshua could have given this wrong assertion after stating that he "saw" a woman winning. Also, one would be tempted to ask, was it a prediction or a prophecy? was it from the throne of God or the mind of man?
Mr Joshua told his congregation on Sunday that he "saw" a woman winning.
After Donald Trump convincingly won Tuesday's vote, visitors to the preacher's Facebook page noticed the prophecy had been removed.
The wealthy pastor is known as "the prophet" to his many followers.
He is one of Nigeria's best-known and influential evangelists - and is popular across Africa, with many top politicians among his flock.
The US election prediction was broadcast on Mr Joshua's TV channel Emmanuel TV, which an individual uploaded to YouTube.
A section of that "prophecy" was posted on the preacher's Facebook page but is no longer available.
"Ten days ago I saw the president of America with a narrow win... What I frankly saw was a woman," it said.
TB Joshua has been trending on Twitter across Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa as people shared memes poking fun at his assertion.
People have also taken to a Facebook entry he posted on Wednesday to complain.
Clive Mashiri from South Africa asked: "Why was the prophecy deleted? If this was uttered by the man of God, why remove it?"
Though some have defended him.
"I will always believe in your prophesies, through thick and thin," said South African Gugu Mathonsi.
Chit happens at times, but this chit stink so badt... it will soon be a thing of the past but it has been recorder as a false prophesy/ failed prediction.... This is a detriment to his personality as a power prophet and I will advice that he and other wonderful pastors we have should stay off politics... No long thing................
