Days before news broke that Governor General Sir Kenneth Hall had resigned, a local prophet had foretold the event.

"Need a new governor general? Appoint a pretty woman," Terry Wilmot said in a list of prophecies published in The Gleaner yesterday.

Wilmot, who has been making predictions for more than 30 years, had submitted her "sneak peek into 2009" more than a week ago with predictions including a "new head of the Registrar General's Department and two by-elections that are not dual citizenship related".

Yesterday, the woman, who says she has a gift from God, told The Gleaner that she was not surprised that one of her predictions had come true.

"God shows me some of the things, not everything," Wilmot said.

"These things came to me, I think, on the fourth of January and I sent it down to The Gleaner on the sixth," she added.

The prophet said the vision about the governor general came suddenly.

"Personally, I think the governor general had wanted to resign for some time, that's my opinion. I don't know him and have never spoken to him but that's what God has shown me," Wilmot said yesterday morning.

Child of God

She was clear that she is not a psychic and does not use astrology in her predictions. According to Wilmot, she would rather be called a clairvoyant or a child of God.

"It is a spiritual gift. Sometimes I pick up certain things, but you can't send them to the newspaper because you would have lawsuits on your back and so on," Wilmot added.

Other good-news predictions from Wilmot, released yesterday, include a reduction in crime this year, tears of joy for Asafa Powell and an improvement in the economy.
