<\/p>\n

A prediction by influential Nigerian TV evangelist TB Joshua that Hillary Clinton would win the US presidential election has been removed from his Facebook account.<\/p>\n

Mr Joshua told his congregation on Sunday that he “saw” a woman winning.<\/p>\n

After Donald Trump convincingly won Tuesday’s vote, visitors to the preacher’s Facebook page noticed the prophecy had been removed.<\/p>\n

The wealthy pastor is known as “the prophet” to his many followers.<\/p>\n

He is one of Nigeria’s best-known and influential evangelists – and is popular across Africa, with many top politicians among his flock.<\/p>\n

The US election prediction was broadcast on Mr Joshua’s TV channel Emmanuel TV, which an individual\u00a0uploaded to YouTube.<\/p>\n

A section of that “prophecy” was\u00a0posted on the preacher’s Facebook page\u00a0but is no longer available.<\/p>\n

“Ten days ago I saw the president of America with a narrow win… What I frankly saw was a woman,” it said.<\/p>\n

TB Joshua has been trending on Twitter across Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa as people shared memes poking fun at his prediction.<\/p>\n

People have also taken to a\u00a0Facebook entry he posted on Wednesday\u00a0to complain.<\/p>\n

Clive Mashiri from South Africa asked: “Why was the prophecy deleted? If this was uttered by the man of God, why remove it?”<\/p>\n

Though some have defended him.<\/p>\n

“I will always believe in your prophesies, through thick and thin,” said South African Gugu Mathonsi.<\/p>\n

Many people believe TB Joshua has supernatural powers, which include healing and prophecy.<\/p>\n

Ghana’s late President John Atta Mills\u00a0said in a speech at TB Joshua’s thanksgiving service\u00a0after winning an election in 2008 that he had consulted the preacher through his campaign.<\/p>\n

Tanzanian President John Magufuli and Malawi’s former leader Joyce Banda have also paid homage to him in the past.<\/p>\n
