Controversial Zimbabwean Prophet, Uebert Angel, claims he prophesied Pele’s death

A popular but controversial Zimbabwean man of God, Prophet Uebert Angel, has claimed that he prophesied about the death of Brazilian football legend, Pele, who died on December 29, 2022, after a long battle with cancer.

In a tweet on Saturday, Angel who once claimed he had an encounter with Satan in the Garden of Eden, claimed he made the prophecy on three different occasions, January, 2, September 11, and October 23, 2022, where he said he predicted the soccer icon will die before the end of the year.

In the tweet, Angel said God had revealed to him that Pele had come to the end of his earthly journey.

“International prophecy fulfilled. Pele dies aged 82 – just 2 days before the year 2022 ended exactly as prophesied on multiple occasions fore-warning the people,” he tweeted.

“Then the Lord said to me – something that I need to say nicely. This year, I saw them crying for a legend in Brazil. Everyone. And the Lord said: ‘Look there, they are crying for a person but they are not crying for their ways’. Pele will die”, Prophet Angel wrote.

“This whole thing is about trying to prove that the God we serve knows everything. We know of course Pele is going to die”, Prophet Angel added as a footage to his tweet.

‘I stood up for my teammates’, Super Eagles’ Bright Osayi defends beating up pitch invader

Published

Super Eagles and Fernabache of Turkey defender, Bright Osayi-Samuel, has opened up on why he had to beat up a pitch invader in the wake of a brawl with some fans of Tranzonspor during a match in a Turkish Superlig.

The right-back had come under the spotlight when he was seen beating up a fan of Tranzonspor who had attempted to attack Fernabache players during the match last Sunday.

While many fans of the club had applauded Osayi-Samuel’s action, even going ahead to make a graffiti of the scene, others have condemned him and even went as far as demanding sanctions for him.

But while speaking to sports journalists on Monday in Morocco where the Eagles are currently preparing for a friendly match against Mali, the 25-year-old defender said he had to stand up for his teammates in self defence.

“The fans attacked the team, some had weapons on them, I had to defend my team, it was self defence, that’s what happened,” he said.

“My teammates suffered cuts and bruises, some were really scared, several others also joined me to try to defend the team.

“We found a way to win and avenge our only loss in the league to the same team after they beat us at our home in the first round,” he added.

Fans of Trabzonspor had invaded the pitch after title-chasing Fenerbache recorded a 3-2 win at away to keep up the pressure on league leaders Galatasaray, a defeat which angered the home fans and led to them invading the pitch.

But they met their match in the Super Eagles player who chased some and pounced on them heavily.
