Prophet Fire Oja, the founder of the Holiness of Christ Zion Ministry, has hit back at critics claiming he never said the Black Stars won’t qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
According to Prophet Oja, some Ghanaians are fools and others are animals, especially the bloggers.
Speaking in a viral video, the prophet stated, “I never said Ghana would not qualify for the World Cup 10 months ago, I said Ghana would qualify for the World Cup, they will go, why are you twisting the prophecy?
What is all this? You guys are helping my ministry; you are helping me to trend. Ministry about enemies and lovers that makes your ministry stand. Fools, that is why you are still suffering, that is why young guys are dying because they do not respect.
Go back and watch the video; the video is there on YouTube. Go and watch the full video. Some Ghanaians are animals, especially bloggers. They are animals.
Also, in a separate interview, Prophet claimed that the Black Stars team is in his palm and he tunes it to wherever he wants it to be.
Prophet Fire Oja stated, “The Black Stars team is in my palm; I tune it to wherever I want it to be. Put that in your memory. I am saying the team is in my palm. Whether you like it or not, it is in my palm.
The big men, if they are watching, will say you don’t know the prophet. Be there joking with things, and continue bashing me. What I am saying is, go and put it on social media, so people will bash me.
I will give you content to post. I like the trend more than food. Yes, the Blacks stars team is in my palm. I am repeating it”.
Prophet Fire Oja, whose remarks come following the backlash of a viral video that resurfaced following the Black Stars’ qualification to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Prophet Fire Oja claimed in 2024, during the 31st watch night service in December 2024, said Ghana’s World Cup qualifying campaign in 2025 would fail.
However, many football fans have mocked Prophet Fire Oja’s prediction and celebrated the Black Stars’ achievement.
Meanwhile, the Black Stars, on 12 October 2025, officially qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after finishing the qualifiers as leaders in their Group.
Ghana defeated Comoros 1-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium, with Mohammed Kudus scoring the only goal in the game.
After 10 games in group I, the Black Stars topped the table with 25 points, Madagascar second with 19 points, Mali third with 18 points, Comoros 15, Central African Republic 8 and Chad in sixth place with 1.
Ghana joined the list of qualified countries on the African continent, with Coach Otto Addo now becoming the first Black Stars coach to reach two consecutive FIFA World Cup tournaments.
