A Bulawayo-based clergyman, Prophet Blessing Chiza of Eagle life Assembly, reportedly prophesied five years ago Marvelous Nakamba’s move to English Premier League side, Aston Villa.
In video footage posted on Prophet Chiza’s official Facebook page (Dr Prophet B S Chiza), the clergyman gave the prophecy on 25 May 2014 while holding Nakamba’s football jersey who was playing for Nancy at the time. Chiza told Nakamba:
You are going to other big teams in Europe, from Nancy I see you rising, God is going to take you. If this does not happen, people will not know God. It has to happen according to or against their imagination. Young man, you shall be very rich.
After leaving Nancy, Nakamba played for Belgium side Club Brugge which he left in acrimonious circumstances in July this year.
He eventually signed for Aston Villa following the club’s promotion from the English Championship where he reportedly earns £160 000 per month.
