Retired Ghanaian boxer Ayittey Powers has detailed how a poster of the late Nigerian prophet TB Joshua miraculously saved him from being stabbed by his girlfriend.

The former WBC International titleholder narrated that his girlfriend showed up at his house unannounced while he was with his ex-girlfriend, whom he had offered to spend the night at his house after she missed her bus to Kumasi.

Ayitey said his girlfriend reached for a bottle in the room to throw it at him, but upon seeing TB Joshua's poster on his wall, the lady froze.

"His poster that I have in my room has been doing wonders. Initially, I used the poster to celebrate his one year, but something told me to open it in my room. The wonders the poster has been doing in my room, I won't finish if I start talking about it. I'm not married, but I have a girlfriend.

"One day my ex called me that she had come to Accra, and it was late, so she couldn't go back and wanted to sleep at my house. I immediately called my girlfriend to confirm whether she would come that night, and she said no.

"While we (he and his ex) were there, my girlfriend showed up. She wanted to hit my ex in the head with a bottle, but anytime she tried, she froze," he recounted.

The retired boxer added that the poster went the extra mile of speaking to the angry girlfriend,

"The TB Joshua calendar asked her, 'What do you think you are going to do?'"

Ayittey Powers is an ardent follower of the prophet, claiming that the latter's passing hurt him more than the death of his mother and father.

"Sometimes when I reflect on his death, I realize that God works in mysterious ways. How could Prophet TB Joshua die at that age? He called me to visit his church, and I planned to go in two weeks, but he passed away before then.

"He mentioned he wouldn’t celebrate his birthday, and we didn’t know he was going to die. We discussed many things together. So, TB Joshua’s death pains me more than the death of my mother and father,” he said.
