Shock as Old 2021 Prophecy Resurfaces after Death of Gospel Singer, Omije Ojumi

Segun Atanda/

Fans of gospel singer, Bunmi Akinnanu, popularly known as Omije Ojumi, have been revisiting a controversial prophecy from 2021 following news of her death, which has sent shockwaves across social media.

The resurfaced exchange, which has gone viral on X, Facebook and WhatsApp groups, shows a message allegedly sent to the singer by an unidentified individual who claimed to have seen a troubling vision concerning her.

The sender stressed that the message was not for attention but a call to prayer.

“Hello ma, this might sound absurd, you don’t know me, nor have I also seen you one on one physically before, but I am just a child of God like you,” the message read. “I have not come to cook this story and I am not telling you for you to recognise me, but just for you to pray.”

The individual went on to describe what was presented as a frightening night vision, partly conveyed in Yoruba.

“Mum, in a vision of the night I heard some words in Yoruba, like ‘ti o ba tun raiye wa, (if you can come to this world again, you won’t be doing anyhow to them).’ So very frightening. Very frightened, I asked, is she dead? Somebody answered me, Is this not her baby or something? We have killed her.”

Despite the disturbing nature of the vision, the writer insisted they did not believe anything bad would happen to the singer, urging her instead to intensify prayers.

“Ma, I know nothing bad will happen to you, but still something like this requires prayers,” the message continued. “That evil conspiracies over you and your ministry that God should fight for your cause. I have raised prayer altars for you, and I believe the vision will not come to pass, if only we will pray. God bless you ma.”

However, Omije Ojumi’s alleged response to the message has also drawn intense scrutiny and debate online.

In the reply attributed to her, the singer appeared to react angrily, using strong language and issuing what many social media users have described as harsh words.

“You are very stupid you lack manners,” the response read. “Ofa iku yin ko payin tile tile yin… Aye yin ma baje loruko Jesu, orun polongo iku yin loruko jesu.”
Translated loosely, the Yoruba expressions invoke curses involving death and destruction, which critics say were unnecessary regardless of the provocation.

The reply further added, “You are mad for dropping such on my page. Ema seleya nioo.”

The message concluded with a sarcastic remark questioning why the vision focused on death rather than success, followed by more severe expressions. “So you don’t see vision that Dangote wants me, vision of good things but death,” it stated.

In the wake of the singer’s death, the old exchange has reopened conversations about prophecy culture and how spiritual warnings should be communicated.

While some fans argue that the message sent to Omije Ojumi was inappropriate and alarming, others believe her alleged response was excessive and has now taken on a troubling significance in hindsight.

As of the time of reporting, there has been no official confirmation from Omije Ojumi’s family or management addressing the resurfaced prophecy or the authenticity of the messages. Nonetheless, the episode has deepened the sense of shock surrounding her passing and continues to fuel intense reactions across Nigeria’s digital space.
