And I say projections, not predictions. Prediction is what the herd of religious pastors, especially of pentecostal hue do in Nigeria particularly at this time of ushering a new year in. I have never stopped to be baffled by it all, those hoodwinking balderdash they call predictions. And I'm more angrily perplexed at those(and they are in the millions) who lend their ears, let alone of hearts, to them.

I don't believe in any of them. Indeed I don't even bother to listen or read to them both the message and the messenger. It's nothing more than a half- clever juggling of probabilities, no more than the pool gambling permutations, two from five,or any three from ten! The only difference is whereas in the pool game you lose your money if you don't make the minimum number permed,these God-forsaking so-and-so don't loose anything, not money no face, by not making any number. Their blinded followers ensure that. If just one more of them comes close enough to the periphery of the prediction,they jump to the roof top to proclaim the holiness of their religious leaders using this one close enough case as proof- positive.

An example! Say one of them pastors or marabouts 'predicts' that president jonathan..
