Ghana’s 200-metre athlete, Joseph Paul Amaoh, popularly known as Joe Paul is pleading with Prophet Emmanuel Badu Kobi not to make any prophecies concerning Team Ghana at this year’s Summer Olympics (Tokyo 2020).
The Founder and Overseer of the Glorious Wave Church International, Badu Kobi has come under intense scrutiny after recent predictions he made went south.
Prophet Badu Kobi predicted Brazil and England were going to win the Copa America and Euro 2020 trophies respectively but those predictions fell off the mark as Argentina and Italy won those trophies.
