Rwandan Prophet claims there will be ‘No Christmas’ nor New Year Holidays this year
A self-proclaimed Prophet in Rwanda is causing uproar across social media platforms by announcing that there will be ‘No Christmas Holidays’ this year.

A self-proclaimed Prophet in Rwanda is causing uproar in both his country and across social media platforms by announcing that there will be ‘No Christmas Holidays’ this year.
Innocent Rungano, who is currently a subject of online backlash, sarcasm and vitriol attacks, also maintains that people will not celebrate ‘New Year Holidays,’ in January 2027 either.
Prophet Rungano’s sermons, warnings and predictions posted on a number of YouTube channels, Tik Tok, Twitter (X) and Facebook pages are still going viral, despite ruffling many people’s feathers. Links are generously being shared across WhatsApp groups.
And the ‘Prophet’ preaches with great confidence.
“Do not waste your money buying anything,” warns Innocent Rungano.
“There will neither be Christmas nor New Year Holidays this year,” the ‘prophet’ maintains.
Father Christmas must be taking off his red gown now, if Prophet Rungano predictions are anything to go by.
The rather young seer preaches mostly in his local Kinyarwanda language in video clips featuring a guitar in the background.
The music instrument either means the prophet or seer is also a musician or there is a church choir nearby waiting to entertain after the message of festive doom.
The responses from social media platforms are mixed.
Some dismiss him as one of the many crackpot preachers filling social media platforms, others find Rungano to be a click baiter, trying to build a large base of followers, for monetization, while the rest are raining insults on the self-proclaimed seer.
At the moment YouTube podcasts are filled with gruesome horror tales of pastors, preachers and prophets featuring testimonies of traveling to hell and back, meeting and making pacts with the devils and causing road accidents using mystic powers.
But for many observers, these types of prophets do more damage when ignored, citing the case of the millennium preacher Kibwetere of Uganda who set the entire church congregation on fire between 1999 and 2000.
There is also the Shakahola mystery of Kenya where a prophet starved or ‘killed’ nearly 500 followers and buried their bodies in shallow graves in a forest.
The Shakahola Forest incident, also known as the Shakahola massacre, had involved a religious cult in Kenya led by Paul Nthenge Mackenzie, founder of Good News International Ministries, an apocalyptic Christian group.
In Tanzania a self-proclaimed female ‘God,’ Zumaridi was arrested after she was found to imprison and breed hundreds of gullible followers inside a chamber within her homestead.
