I was looking forward to dying but “I had a divine plan, and it was to ensure that I lived to see John Mahama become president again. I knew my time was close, but I wanted to ensure that Mahama’s swearing-in happened before I left this world – Oboy Siki finally explains why he didn’t die in 2024

Oboy Siki, a well-known Kumawood actor, has stunned his fans and the general public with a rather unexpected statement, revealing why he did not pass away in 2024 as he had previously predicted. The actor, known for his bold and controversial remarks, had made headlines earlier when he publicly predicted that he would die by the end of 2024. However, with the dawn of the new year, Oboy Siki is still very much alive and has offered a unique explanation for his survival.
Speaking in an interview with Mr Bonez on Kessben TV, Oboy Siki shared that he was not simply waiting for death, but instead had a purpose to fulfill before his passing. According to the actor, he believed that his time on Earth was supposed to come to an end before the conclusion of 2024. However, he says he held on to life in order to witness an important political event in Ghana—the swearing-in of former President John Mahama after the January 7, 2025 elections.
“I was looking forward to die but “I had a divine plan, and it was to ensure that I lived to see John Mahama become president again. I knew my time was close, but I wanted to ensure that Mahama’s swearing-in happened before I left this world.”
The actor’s statements have raised eyebrows, with many speculating on whether Oboy Siki’s claim is rooted in personal beliefs, superstition, or a deep sense of faith. However, the actor is clear about his reasons for staying alive.
“God is the only true King who can decide when I leave this world,” Oboy Siki continued. “It’s not up to any man or any prediction. Death is in the hands of the Almighty, and I will live as long as He allows. I didn’t die because it wasn’t my time yet. It wasn’t about my prediction—it was about fulfilling the greater purpose that I felt was to support John Mahama’s victory.”
While some people may dismiss Oboy Siki’s remarks as mere superstition or eccentricity, others view it as a profound statement about faith, purpose, and the unpredictability of life. The actor’s prediction and his subsequent explanation have prompted many of his followers to reflect on the role of destiny, politics, and faith in their own lives.
