Watch Prophet Telvin Adjei's prophecy on Ghana’s oil discovery

Prophet Telvin Sowah Adjei’s past prophecies about Ghana’s oil prospects have resurfaced following President John Dramani Mahama’s announcement of a new offshore hydrocarbon discovery in the country.

The development has drawn attention to prophecies the preacher made in 2023 and August 2026, in which he spoke about Ghana discovering more oil and the country’s potential to become a major player in the petroleum industry.

On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, President Mahama announced that Planet One Oil and Gas Limited, in partnership with GOIL Upstream Limited and the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), had made a new offshore hydrocarbon discovery at the Nya Gyidie-1X well in the Deepwater Cape Three Points contract area.

The President described the discovery as an important milestone for Ghana, noting that it was the country’s first successful test of a Cenomanian-Turonian carbonate-clay formation as a primary exploration target.

Against this backdrop, attention has returned to Prophet Telvin Adjei’s August 2026 prophecy, in which he spoke about oil emerging from Ghana’s soil and urged people interested in the petroleum business to prepare for the opportunities ahead.

“We would begin to discover oil. That's oil popping out of our soil. It is surfacing. It has reached a percentage of a level. I was observing it through time. Now it's about pop up. Once it pops up be ready to move in. So those that want to deal with that business, gather your money,” he said.

He further referenced what he described as a future in which Ghana would exercise greater control over its oil resources and benefit from the country's refining capacity.

“But we in Ghana it will not last. Whilst other companies are growing oil, we are controlling oil. That's why our refinery is set. Prepare yourself for a greater country and a greater financial place,” he added.

The preacher had also spoken about oil in a prophecy delivered in 2023, predicting that developments in the petroleum sector would attract international attention to Ghana within five years.

“All over the world, people are talking about the oil that has popped up. It became the whole thing in Africa that they began to draw people, and all these things were happen withing five years because the world is about chang in five years. And before that change that will happen in the next five years all these things would take place,” he prophesied.

His 2023 prophecy, which placed the anticipated developments within a five-year period, has also attracted renewed attention following the latest announcement.

Ghana's latest discovery comes at a time when the government is seeking to revitalise the upstream petroleum sector, attract fresh investments and reverse the decline in the country's crude oil production.

President Mahama has said the immediate priority is to accelerate responsible exploration and put in place the infrastructure needed to develop the country's petroleum resources sustainably.

The commercial potential and recoverable reserves of the latest discovery are yet to be established through further technical evaluation.
