A self-styled Nigerian prophet, T.B. Joshua, reportedly forewarned in 2013 that a "large aircraft, carrying over 200 people would develop a fault on the tarmac" in "an Asian nation" and people are now speculating that he was talking about the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

A YouTube video linking Joshua's prediction, made on Sunday July 28, 2013, and Flight MH370 has now gone viral. In the prediction he says the incident with the predicted flight would be caused by "impatience" in addressing a fixable fault with plane.

"We have to pray, this is an Asian country," said Joshua in the run-up to his prediction in the video.
"I will not mention any country but God showed me the country. I am seeing a very big balloon. What is the cause of this? It was just about to take off and the fault started. It means they can discover it on the tarmac but because of impatience.
"If God gives me the grace I will send a letter to the embassy of the country. Check your airlines in your country," he warned to applause.
