Controversial social media commentator Albert Nat Hyde, popularly known as Bongo Ideas, has taken a swipe at self-styled man of God Prophet Fire Ogya following the Black Stars’ qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Earlier this year, Prophet Fire Ogya had prophesied that Ghana’s national team would fail to qualify for the tournament, claiming he had received a divine revelation similar to the one that foretold their failure to reach the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

However, the Black Stars proved him wrong on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium, defeating Comoros 1–0 to secure their ticket to the World Cup. The result sent Ghanaians into celebration — and also triggered widespread ridicule of the prophet on social media.

Many users resurfaced the video of Fire Ogya’s failed prophecy, branding him one of the “false prophets” who mislead their followers “with smart wits” under the guise of divine insight.

Joining the mockery, Bongo Ideas took to his Facebook page to deliver his characteristically blunt take on the situation.

He wrote: “Ghana has finally qualified for the World Cup! Now where’s that so-called prophet, Fire Oyga? During 31st Night, the man was talking like he completed school with Jesus, saying Black Stars can’t go to the World Cup and adding a whole lot of mysterious stories. He even claimed in a ‘revelation’ that he saw a white horse that hit some people. Herrrh, even Jackson K. Bentum won’t use this storyline in his movies!”

He added humorously, “this time de3, the prophecy no ayɛ beans. Every day you people see white horses, is it a revelation or a zoo tour?”

Surprisingly, unlike similar controversies involving clergymen, this time no visible supporters of Prophet Fire Ogya have come to his defense online. Social media users noted the unusual silence from his followers, many of whom appeared to have vanished from public view after the failed prophecy.

The incident adds to growing skepticism about self-proclaimed prophets whose football predictions often make headlines but rarely come to pass.
