The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has declared that Nigeria will experience a significant reduction in hunger in 2026, alongside a reversal of the popular “japa” trend that has seen many Nigerians relocate abroad in recent years.
Speaking during a prophetic session to usher in the new year, Pastor Adeboye said God revealed to him that 2026 would mark a turning point for the nation, particularly in the areas of food security and migration. According to him, the hardship that has pushed many Nigerians to seek greener pastures overseas will begin to ease, prompting some who previously left the country to return home.
“There will be a reduction in hunger in Nigeria this 2026. There will be a reversal of japa. Those who left before will return,” the revered cleric declared.
Pastor Adeboye noted that the prophecy reflects a divine intervention in Nigeria’s socio-economic challenges, stressing that the coming year would bring gradual but visible improvements that will restore hope to many households across the country. He, however, hinted that the revelation is not yet complete, adding that further details will be made public at God’s appointed time.
“I will share the second part when God gives the go-ahead,” he added.
The prophecy has since generated widespread reactions among Nigerians at home and in the diaspora, with many expressing cautious optimism amid ongoing economic pressures, rising cost of living, and persistent unemployment concerns. The “japa” phenomenon, driven largely by insecurity, inflation, and limited opportunities, has become one of the defining social issues of recent years.
Supporters of the prophecy say it signals renewed hope and divine reassurance for citizens who have endured years of hardship, while others urge leaders to align policies and governance with actions that can translate such prophetic declarations into tangible realities.
Pastor Adeboye, widely respected for his annual prophecies which often touch on global and national issues, has consistently emphasized prayer, obedience to God, and righteous living as key factors for individuals and nations to access divine intervention.
As Nigerians step into 2026 with mixed expectations, many will be watching closely to see how events unfold in the coming months, especially as the country navigates economic reforms, food security challenges, and the quest to retain its human capital.
SUNTV Global Channel will continue to monitor developments and bring updates as more details emerge on the second phase of Pastor Adeboye’s 2026 prophecies.
