VIRAL VIDEO: Nigerian Pastor Attempts to Part the Sea Like Moses — Ocean Has Other Plans as Massive Wave Sends Him Running
The Gateway Pundit ^ | June 2, 2026 | Jim Hᴏft

A viral video making the rounds on social media is proving once again that reality has a way of humbling even the most ambitious publicity stunts.

The clip, which has racked up millions of views across Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook in just days, shows an unidentified Nigerian pastor decked out in a flowing white robe and clutching a staff, striding confidently into the ocean waves like he’s reenacting the Book of Exodus. His followers stood nearby, Bibles in hand, chanting prayers and hyping up what was supposed to be a modern-day Red Sea moment.

But unlike the account in the Book of Exodus, the sea was apparently not interested in cooperating.

Moments after entering the water, a powerful wave surged toward the pastor, forcing him to quickly retreat back toward shore and risk drowning.

No injuries reported. No official complaints. And, of course, no actual sea-parting. The pastor’s identity hasn’t been confirmed by any major outlet, but social media sleuths are convinced it happened on a beach in Lagos, Nigeria.

The local news channel reported the incident. Watch below:

The viral incident also comes just months after another high-profile prophecy from West Africa fizzled out.

This has the ear marks of a Monty Python skit. Too bad not around anymore.

The wave parted when it slammed into his torso.

Apparently, “massive” has been scaled way down.

Yep. Biblically we can do all things in accordance with the will of God.

The Red Sea parting was for increase of faith: “The Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I gain glory though Pharaoh…” (and obviously to preserve the people He rescued).

Nothing happened ever to increase Moses’ glory; not this guy’s; nor mine.

ALL glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit — means none to me. All minus anything is not all. Not sure everyone realizes what they’re asking for and why esp for “rote” prayers sometimes recited casually.
