100 Fulfilled Prophecies Of Primate Ayodele In 2024

Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church ranks among the men of God people listen to regarding new year prophecies and as usual, He released a booklet in December 2023 containing the mind of God about 2024.

His prophecies are not always about Nigeria alone, this prophecies booklet always contain prophetic revelation to nations, companies, ministries, different sectors, and several others.

As we unwind for the year 2024, Below are 100 among the prophecies of Primate Ayodele for the year:

1 Nigerian economy: Primate Ayodele in his prophecy for the year 2024 about Nigerian economy was that it would be difficult to achieve results. He stated that it would take a lot of effort for the economy to be revived. In the light of the economy, the prophet made it known that the Naira exchange against dollar will hit N1400.

These were his words

“The spirit of God says the Nigeria economy needs a lot of prayers for it to be revived. The economic policies and activities need to be well moderated and coordinated in order to achieve desired results. I foresee that under the current realities, the cefa will be stronger than the Naira. Also, the Dollar to Naira will rise to #1400 and this will shake the economy so badly there are forces that are hell bent at frustrating the Tinubu led Federal government but they will not be successful. The spirit of God says those who are scheming to frustrate it are people that he is closer to.”

As it stands, this was fulfilled before the year came to an end.

2 Prices of commodities: Primate Ayodele in his uniqueness made it known that the price of essential commodities will increase and also gave what the commodities would cost in the course of the year.

“Local rice will go to #45,000 Imported rice will be #80,000 Coca cola will be #300 Pure water will be sold at the rate of two for #100. The government is yet to structure the salary properly. The Salary will not help the economy to grow, the workers have not noticed this.

However, the rich will want the ruling party to take the seat of government. The poor will come out in large numbers to vote while the ruling party will do everything to change the result of the election. They will never allow the election to be changed because they will go extra mile. The ruling party will want to change the result technically. If Mahama is not careful, he will not be president again. The spirit of God says this is the last chance for Mahama to become President of Ghana. Unless they use incumbent power the ruling party cannot win as Ghanaians will do everything to resist the power of incumbency. Mahama needs prayers for victory to be sure.”

Senator Adeola Yayi Bags Royal Blessings at Foundation Laying of Yewa Traditional Council Secretariat in Ilaro

…Clerics, Monarchs and Political Leaders Offer Prayers for His Future Aspirations

 

 

ILARO-YEWA, OGUN STATE — The ancient town of Ilaro, headquarters of Ogun West Senatorial District, came alive on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, as royal fathers, political leaders, clerics and community stakeholders gathered for the historic foundation-laying ceremony of the proposed ultra-modern Yewa Traditional Council (Obas’) Secretariat Complex.

 

The culturally symbolic project, facilitated by the Senator representing Ogun West at the National Assembly, Distinguished Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (Yayi), attracted widespread commendation, fervent prayers and royal blessings from traditional rulers across Yewaland, alongside leaders and stalwarts of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

 

The ceremony officially marked the commencement of construction of what is envisioned as a state-of-the-art secretariat that will serve as the institutional headquarters of the Yewa Traditional Council.

 

Stakeholders described the initiative as a landmark achievement in institutional development and a clear demonstration of Senator Adeola’s sustained commitment to grassroots development, cultural preservation and inclusive governance in Yewaland.

 

Royal fathers present unanimously agreed that the project represents a significant step toward strengthening traditional governance and preserving Yewa cultural heritage. According to them, the proposed secretariat will function as a unifying administrative hub, enhance collaboration among monarchs and safeguard the cultural identity of the Yewa people for generations to come.

 

 

Speaking at the event, the Olu of Ilaro and Paramount Ruler of Yewaland, His Royal Majesty Oba (Dr.) Kehinde Gbadewole Olugbenle, Asade Agunloye IV, poured encomiums on Senator Adeola for his extensive infrastructural interventions and developmental footprints across Yewaland and Ogun State.

 

The monarch noted that the senator’s contributions have repositioned Yewaland on the path of meaningful progress, urging political leaders and stakeholders to embrace unity, cooperation and harmony.

He emphasized that such collective resolve remains crucial to the long-standing aspiration of producing a Yewa indigene as Governor of Ogun State in 2027.

Oba Olugbenle also used the occasion to encourage residents to actively participate in the democratic process by obtaining their Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs), stressing that civic engagement is the surest route to credible leadership.

 

“Yayi Is a Unique Son of Yewaland” — Deputy Speaker

 

The Deputy Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. (Chief) Mrs. Lateefat Bolanle Ajayi, described Senator Adeola as a “unique and incomparable son of Yewaland,” whose influence transcends Ogun West to Ogun Central and East.

 

“We have had good sons in Yewaland, but Yayi stands out. His impact is felt in Abeokuta, Ijebu-Ode and beyond. Charity truly begins at home. Even the blind can see and the deaf can hear. We must support him. Come 2027, we have a candidate,” she declared.

 

 

Clerics Offer Prayers for Success

Offering prayers at the ceremony, Imam Mohammed Tijani Jamiu, Chief Imam of Surulere Central Mosque, Ilaro-Yewa, prayed for Senator Adeola, the royal fathers of Yewaland and the successful completion of the project.

 

 

 

 

Similarly, Imam Jamiu Adeniyi Kewulere, Chief Imam of Bibire Central Mosque, Oke-Ola, Ilaro-Yewa, also offered special prayers for peace, progress and divine guidance for all stakeholders.

 

 

 

“A Rare Project of Global Significance” — Yewa South LG Chairman

The Chairman of Yewa South Local Government, Hon. Tunde Ogunshola, described the occasion as one of the happiest moments of his life, noting that the project is unprecedented in scope and cultural significance

 

.

“This traditional council building is rare, even globally. It is being realized through the support of Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun and facilitated by Senator Adeola. When completed, it will stand as a lasting symbol of our heritage,” he said.

 

 

 

The Ogun State Chairman of Cultural Development, Hon. Olayiwola Taiwo, also hailed the project as a major turnaround for Ogun West, a zone he said had endured years of infrastructural neglect.

 

“This is a remarkable development. Senator Adeola is truly God-sent to Yewaland,” he stated.

 

 

 

 

Royal fathers including the Olofin Adimula of Ado-Odo, Oba Idris Olusola Lamidi Osolo, the Abepa of Joga-Orile, Oba Adeyemi Adekeye, and the Onimeko of Imeko, Oba Benjamin Olanite, all expressed confidence that greater projects linked to Senator Adeola would continue to materialize.

 

 

 

 

A retired Director-General in the Ogun State Civil Service, Mr. Michael Babatunde Ajayi, likened the proposed complex to the Obas’ Secretariat in Abeokuta, noting that it would reduce the need for monarchs in Yewaland to travel to the state capital for meetings.

“This will be the first of its kind in Yewaland. Kudos to Senator Adeola, whose impact is felt across Ogun State,” he said.

 

 

 

 

APC Leaders Call for Political Mobilisation

The Ogun West APC Chairman, Alhaji Azeez Adisa (Ekwume), alongside party leaders and community stakeholders, described Senator Adeola’s interventions as purposeful and impactful.

 

 

 

 

They urged party members to consolidate these gains by strengthening party structures and participating actively in voter registration and mop-up exercises, noting that broad-based participation is essential for electoral success.

 

 

 

 

Anglican Bishop Describes Project as Timely

Speaking with journalists, the Diocesan Bishop of the Anglican Communion, Rt. Revd. M.A. Oluwarohunbi, PhD, described the project as timely and symbolic, adding that it would enhance the role of traditional rulers in governance.

 

 

 

 

“This is a very important day in the history of Ilaro and Yewaland. The proposed complex will be an ultra-modern edifice befitting our royal fathers,” he said.

 

 

 

He also prayed for Senator Adeola’s continued strength and the realization of his future aspirations.

 

 

 

 

At the climax of the event, Oba Olugbenle, alongside other eminent kabiyesis, offered royal prayers and blessings for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun, Senator Solomon Adeola Yayi, and other political office holders across Ogun West and Nigeria, seeking divine wisdom, protection and success in governance.

The well-attended ceremony drew a diverse audience, including revered monarchs from across Yewaland, political leaders, community stakeholders and religious representatives from Christianity, Islam and traditional institutions.

 

 

 

Members of the League of Yewa-Awori Media Practitioners (LOYAMP) were also prominently represented, led by their National Coordinator, Otunba AbuSatar Idowu Hamed.

 

 

 

 

The colourful event concluded with the formal laying of the foundation stone by royal fathers and distinguished guests, symbolically ushering in a new chapter in the institutional development and cultural renaissance of Yewaland—an occasion many described as another defining milestone in Senator Adeola Yayi’s growing legacy of service and development.

Shadows of Greed: Alison‑Madueke’s UK Corruption Trial and the Cost of Power

Shadows of Greed: Alison‑Madueke’s UK Corruption Trial and the Cost of Power

By George Omagbemi Sylvester | Published by SaharaWeeklyNG.com

When today’s headlines speak of corruption, they often do so as a distant abstraction as a vague moral failure with little bearing on everyday life. But the unfolding corruption trial of Diezani Alison‑Madueke in a London court throws into glaring relief the real, human and systemic consequences of unchecked power merged with self‑interest. This is not merely the story of an individual on trial; it is a lens through which the world must scrutinise the fragile intersection of governance, resource wealth and public trust.

 

Diezani Alison‑Madueke, once Nigeria’s Minister of Petroleum Resources and later the first woman president of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), now stands accused before Britain’s Southwark Crown Court of multiple counts of bribery and conspiracy. The accusations against her (which she vehemently denies) paint a portrait of opulence allegedly funded through pay‑to‑play politics that ignored the public good and rewarded those who could feed her lavish lifestyle.

A Life in Oil, a Life Under Scrutiny.

Alison‑Madueke’s tenure as petroleum minister, from twenty ten until twenty fifteen, coincided with a period of immense oil revenue for Nigeria, a country sitting atop the largest oil reserves in Africa. Yet that wealth did not translate into broad‑based prosperity for the citizens she was meant to serve. Instead, British prosecutors allege that her privileged access to that sector was exploited for personal gain.

 

According to court indictments, she is accused of accepting bribes not in vague promises, but in concrete, high‑value luxury benefits and including cash, chauffeur‑driven vehicles, private jet travel, the use of multiple high‑end properties in London, funded renovations, personal household staff and even costly designer goods purchased at establishments like Harrods and Louis Vuitton. Prosecutors told the court these were not mere gifts, but “financial or other advantages” given by industry players “who clearly believed she would use her influence to favour them.”

 

The former minister, now sixty‑five, has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Alongside her in the dock are two co‑defendants: oil executive Olatimbo Ayinde and her brother, Doye Agama, both of whom deny the charges connected to the same alleged bribery scheme.

 

The Anatomy of Allegations.

What makes this trial especially significant is the detail and scale of the alleged benefits. Prosecutors have asserted that Alison‑Madueke was offered:

 

Access to luxury homes and private residences in London, bought and maintained by associates seeking lucrative Nigerian contracts.

 

At least a six‑figure sum in direct cash payments.

 

Private jet flights and schooling fees for her children.

 

Vast quantities of luxury goods and services from upscale retailers.

 

While the prosecution concedes it has not yet produced direct evidence that she awarded specific contracts to individuals who should not have had them, it maintains that the acceptance of such benefits by a public official who oversaw multi‑billion‑dollar contracts is inherently improper and contrary to fundamental principles of public service.

 

Voices of Accountability.

The allegations have drawn sharp commentary from observers worldwide who see the trial as emblematic of broader governance challenges across resource‑rich nations.

 

Nigerian social justice advocate Aisha Bello has observed, “Corruption is not a peripheral defect in governance but a corrosive disease that accelerates inequality. When leaders treat public office as a gateway to private treasure, citizens pay with lost opportunities and diminished hope.”

Shadows of Greed: Alison‑Madueke’s UK Corruption Trial and the Cost of Power

By George Omagbemi Sylvester | Published by SaharaWeeklyNG.com

Similarly, Professor John Githongo, a renowned anti‑corruption scholar, argues that “Transparency and accountability are not optional extras in public administration; they are indispensable pillars of a just society. When the public good is subverted for private gain, the very fabric of trust unravels.”

 

These sentiments resonate deeply in contexts where natural wealth exists alongside persistent challenges in education, healthcare and infrastructure also illustrating that corruption is not an isolated moral failing, but a fundamental impediment to development.

 

Corruption Beyond Borders.

What makes this case notable on the global stage is not just its connection to a former minister, but its international footprint. The United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency (NCA) has taken up the case because many of the alleged transactions (the properties, cash flows, and luxury perks) touched British jurisdiction. This underlines a critical truth: corruption today is not contained by national boundaries. Illicit financial flows, luxury goods, and asset holding often travel across continents, making international cooperation essential in pursuit of justice.

Andy Kelly, head of the NCA’s International Corruption Unit, stated during earlier proceedings that investigations revealed “financial rewards” accepted by Alison‑Madueke that were “suspected to relate to the awarding of multi‑million‑pound contracts.” He emphasised that such impropriety has “devastating consequences for developing nations.”

 

This collaborative legal action reflects a growing global consensus: no public official, regardless of stature, should be beyond accountability. When a former head of state institutions is brought before a foreign court, it is not just a legal milestone but it is a moral affirmation of shared values in the rule of law.

 

The Nigerian Context.

In Nigeria, the oil sector has long been both a blessing and a burden. Despite generating huge revenues, mismanagement and corruption have often undermined potential gains for the wider population. A 2023 report by Nigeria’s statistics agency ranked corruption as one of the most significant challenges facing the country. It is a sobering backdrop that shapes how this trial is interpreted at home and abroad.

 

Former officials and critics alike have noted that transparency in governance is not merely a matter of legality but one of national dignity. As legal scholar Dr. Funke Adekola puts it, “When leaders betray public trust, they erode the very essence of citizenship. Restoring that trust requires not just trials, but systemic reform in values and institutions.”

 

What Lies Ahead.

The trial, expected to stretch over several months of testimony and evidence examination, is itself a test of judicial endurance and political will. It presents complex questions about proof, credibility, and moral accountability. Yet beyond the sterile halls of courtrooms, its wider implications reverberate in global public discourse about how nations manage wealth and how societies hold leaders accountable.

 

For ordinary citizens around the world, this case is riveting not because of luxury houses or private jets, but because it forces a collective reckoning: What price should a society pay when those entrusted with public resources place personal enrichment above national welfare?

 

Summative Insight.

As Diezani Alison‑Madueke’s trial unfolds before the world’s eyes, it stands as a stark reminder that the fight against corruption must be relentless and unflinching. It exposes the corrosive effects of unethical conduct at the highest levels of power and underscores the necessity of accountability, irrespective of nationality or office.

 

In the final analysis, justice is not only about punishment, but about restoring faith in the systems meant to protect the common good. As the British court hears testimony and as evidence is meticulously weighed, the world watches a profound test of justice, one that could shape how future generations understand leadership, integrity and the true cost of power.

The Resilience in a Moment — Twenty Positive Impacts of a Human Event

Gen. Buratai Reveals Why Tinubu is Right on ECOWAS Standby Force

The Resilience in a Moment — Twenty Positive Impacts of a Human Event

By Tukur Buratai

The global sight of a leader stumbling is often misinterpreted as a moment of pure vulnerability. However, such an event can act as a catalyst, revealing unexpected strengths and forging powerful connections. For President Bola Tinubu GCFR, the incident in Ankara transcends a mere physical misstep, unfolding into a series of constructive implications that reinforce his leadership, humanize his office, and project Nigeria’s steadiness to the world.
It served as a profound humanizer, abruptly reminding all citizens that the presidency is held by a fellow human being, instantly bridging the perceived gap between the ruler and the ruled and inviting a natural wave of empathy.
This spontaneous empathy directly fuels a narrative of resilience, as his immediate recovery and unwavering continuation of a demanding schedule broadcast a powerful message of personal determination and fortitude that no staged speech could match.
The event successfully tested and showcased the swift, professional response of his security and medical teams, highlighting the competence and preparedness of the critical institutions that support the presidency.
In the relentless cycle of news, the incident acted as an unintended diversion, temporarily shifting intense media scrutiny away from other complex political or economic challenges facing the nation.
This diversion often leads to a unifying national effect, where a leader’s perceived vulnerability can galvanize his political base and draw sympathetic citizens together in a collective expression of support.
We have historical precedent for this, as it can soften the stance of political opponents, potentially leading to a temporary respite from harsh rhetoric, as witnessed in past reactions from prominent political figures.
It creates a simple, relatable story that makes the leadership more accessible and human than any complex policy debate ever could, providing a common reference point.
The seamless continuation of the ceremony and the all-important bilateral meetings that followed powerfully underscored the stability and professionalism of the state apparatus, proving the machinery of government is unshaken.
On a broader scale, the event generates a reservoir of genuine sympathy, both at home and internationally, which can become a subtle asset in future political and diplomatic engagements.
It responsibly opens a necessary, if delicate, public dialogue about the well-being and health transparency of leaders, a conversation vital for any mature democracy.
For the administration’s communication team, it provided an invaluable real-world exercise in crisis narrative control, demonstrating their ability to manage a story with calm and prompt assurance.
On a personal diplomatic level, the shared experience can later serve as a humble and humanizing icebreaker in future formal talks with President Erdogan and other world leaders.
The attentive and immediate assistance rendered by Turkish security and officials can be framed as a testament to the deep respect and strong host-guest relations between the two nations.
Critically, the fact that the stumble did not derail a single item on the diplomatic agenda emphasizes the paramount importance both nations placed on their substantive discussions.
The surge in public discourse it triggered reflects an actively engaged citizenry, while the nature of the reaction provides the administration with a valuable, real-time barometer of public sentiment.
Handling such unexpected, public adversity with composure is the very definition of adaptive leadership, showing a tangible capacity for grace under intense pressure.
For the historical record, it adds a humanizing anecdote to the official legacy, ensuring the president is remembered in full dimension—for his humanity and grit as much as for his policies.
