*30 prophecies Of Primate Ayodele That Came To Pass In January 2024
It has become a norm for prophets to share their new year prophecies with members and followers but do they actually come to pass? Some share as many as 100 prophecies but at the end of the year, just few end up coming to pass.
As we came into 2024, prophets shared their prophecies as usual but among all, Primate Ayodele appears to be the most accurate as more than 50 of his new year prophecies have come to pass already within the first month of the year. He released his new year prophecies on December 22, 2023 and even before the year ended, some of them came to pass already. This simply shows that there are still true prophets in the land and Primate Ayodele is one of them.
Among the prophecies of Primate Ayodele that have come to pass in 2024, compiled below are some of them:
1 Jet Crash In Ibadan: Tragedy was averted in Ibadan a few days ago when a private jet carrying very important personalities crash landed at the airport. Primate Ayodele in his 2024 warnings to the aviation sector called for prayers against crashing of a private jet and a helicopter.
‘Let’s pray not to record the crashing of a jet or helicopter’’ (Pg 61)
2 Ibadan Explosion: There was tragedy in Ibadan in January following an explosion that claimed the lives of people and injured several people. Properties worth millions of naira were also lost as a result of the mysterious explosion.
Primate Ayodele in the 90-page prophecies for 2024mentioned Oyo as part of the states that should be careful of security issues in the New Year. It is not out of point to note that the explosion that took place and the circumstances that led to it shows that there is no adequate security of life and property in the state.
These were his words
‘’Let us be watchful about security challenges in the following states – Imo, Rivers, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Katsina, Sokoto, Ebonyi, Plateau, Lagos and Ogun.’’
Also, when talking about the beginning of the year, the man of God mentioned that he saw people crying within the first 150 days of the year. He revealed that the days will not be palatable for everyone as he foresees killings, bombings, explosions and different unfortunate issues happening across the country. He urged the people to pray for God’s divine mercy.
These were his words
‘’2024, I foresee that the first 150days from the beginning of the year will not be palatable for all. I foresee killings, bombings, explosions, demolitions, so many people crying, accidents and fire outbreaks. The spirit of God says we must commit everything into the hands of God for divine mercy’’
3 Impeachment of Ogun Speaker: The speaker of Ogun state house of assembly, Kunle Oluomo has been impeached. Eighteen of the 26 members of the State Assembly voted for Oluomo’s impeachment at plenary session on Tuesday. Oluomo was impeached for alleged embezzlement of funds, highhandedness and related offences.
Primate Ayodele in his 90-page prophecy for 2024 made it known on Page 17 that he foresees the removal of some honourable speakers of some state house of assembly. He called for prayers to avert this occurrence.
These were his words:
‘’I foresee that the Upper Legislative house and the Senate will lose a prominent member and also the House of Representative. Let us commit the current members of the Senate and members of the States House of Assembly into prayers against sudden death. Let us pray not to witness the removal from office of some Honourable Speakers. I foresee that not all the Senators in the current session will finish their terms in office.’’
4 Plateau Crisis: There seems to be a religious crisis in Plateau state at the moment and this has led to the governor declaring a 24-hour curfew.The Church of Christ In Nations (COCIN) was set ablaze in the area. It has been learnt that rampaging armed men were torching church buildings and attacking those perceived to be Christians in Mangu.
Still in his 2024 prophecies, Primate Ayodele asked the country to pray against ethnic and religious crises.
‘’Let us pray against ethnic and religious crises in Nigeria. Let us pray so that no Police station will be set ablaze. Let us rebuke what can cause the beheading of any Policeman even as I foresee that an attack on a Military Base is imminent.’’ (Page 23)
5 Assassination Of Ekiti Monarchs: Traditional rulers across Nigeria were thrown into mourning following the gruesome killing of two Monarchs in Ekiti state by suspected kidnappers.
The monarchs were said to be returning from a meeting in Irele-Ekiti when they were accosted and gunned down.
In a video interview, Primate Ayodele was heard warning monarchs in Yoruba land against attacks by kidnappers. He made it known that the traditional rulers need to rise up to a very big challenge because if they don’t, there will be an assassination of traditional rulers in the land.
These were his words
‘’Let all Obas in Yoruba land rise up to a very big challenge. If they don’t rise up to this challenge, we should pray not to see the assassination of an Oba or kidnapping of an Oba. The monarchs should do something urgent to prevent insecurity.’’
6 Afenifere Crisis: pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has been enmeshed in serious crisis lately. The group has found itself in a leadership crisis leading to factions springing up from the once united group. Primate Ayodele in his prophecies for 2024 revealed that the group will have crisis.
‘’ I foresee crises in Afenifere the Pan-Yoruba elders council. They will want to break Afenifere into factions in order to suit their purposes. I foresee that Afenifere will not be as united as before. They will create issues within the fold.’’
7 Tanzania: Thousands of people protested in Tanzania on Wednesday against proposed changes to electoral laws, in the largest public demonstration since the government lifted a ban on opposition political rallies in January 2023.
In his 2024 prophecies, Primate Ayodele revealed that he foresees a political tension coming up in the country.
‘’ TANZANIA There will be a major disaster in the country as revealed by the spirit of God. I foresee people will criticize the President on so many things. The country must pray against political troubles. The country must be careful to avert what can endanger lives. The people must pray against the outbreak of any disease. The people must be watchful against explosions.’’
8 Enugu Market Fire: The fire outbreak at Enugu market on new year’s eve is another fulfillment of Primate Ayodele’s prophecies. Dozens of shops at Orba Market International located in Orba community in the Udenu Local Government Area of Enugu State were razed.
A resident of the area, Chigbo Odegba, who spoke to journalists on Monday morning, said the fire started around midnight, adding that it destroyed goods worth millions of naira.
The prophet in a video released before the new year warned that he foresees fire outbreaks in some popular markets in the country.
‘’I am seeing fire outbreak in some popular markets……’’
9 Plane Crash: A Japan Airlines passenger jet and a coast guard plane collided on an airport runway in Tokyo killing five of the six people on board the coast guard aircraft. The Airbus A350 went up in flames. Primate Ayodele in a video revealed that he foresees another plane crash in the world. He made the statement when a plane crash occurred. The incident in Tokyo has confirmed the prophecy.
10 Borno: Suspected Boko Haram terrorists in military uniform have killed 12 persons and abducted one in Gatamarwa and Tsiha communities in the Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State.

“The gunmen shot sporadically at the people in the two communities. So far, 12 corpses were recovered and two were injured,” he told Daily Trust.
Primate Ayodele in his 2023/2024 edition of ‘Warnings To The Nations’ mentioned some local governments in Borno state that should be careful of attacks. He categorically mentioned that they will experience sporadic shootings, just as it happened.
‘’ BIU, CHIBOK, DAMBOA, GWOZA, GUBIO AND DIKWA LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: these local governments will have a lot to face and so many challenges that will cause setbacks. The local governments will experience sporadic shootings.’’
11 Israel: Israel’s Supreme Court has struck down a controversial judicial reform that triggered nationwide protests last year against the Netanyahu government. The change would have limited the power of the Supreme Court in overturning laws it deemed unconstitutional.
Primate Ayodele had warned that the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu will face rejections. He explained that there are some of his policies that will be resisted. The struck down of the judicial reforms is a fulfillment of Primate Ayodele’s prophecy.

14 France Prime Minister Resignation: In a very dramatic move, the prime minister of France, Elisabeth Borne resigned after less than two years in office.
This is in fulfillment of the prophecy of Primate Ayodele in his annual prophecy book titled Warnings To The Nation (2023/2024 edition). On page 300 of the prophecy book which was released in July 2023, Primate Ayodele revealed that he foresees resignation of some prime ministers across the world.

These were his words

The country will face economic problems.’’ (Pg 76)

Though he said the bank will do very well even than its contemporaries but there will be problems with the leadership.
These were his words
‘’Titan trust bank: The bank will expand but the chairman will be indicted. They will blackmail the bank for some illegality in their operations. The bank will face several challenges despite all the good efforts. The bank will do well but there will be major challenges. There are forces that will attempt to bring the bank down.’’
17 Kidnappings: Kidnapping has always been a recurring misfortune in Nigeria but it has never gotten to a stage where it happens almost every day and in high places.
The rate of kidnapping in Nigeria at the moment since 2024 began is more than alarming. It is gradually becoming the order of the day in places and locations that could never be imagined.
In his 90-page 2024 prophecies, Primate Ayodele warned the security agencies in Nigeria about insecurity and clearly stated that Kidnapping would take a new dimension.

November 22, 2024Celebrating Sir Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje At 60 By Jimmy Enyeh
Majority of Deltans are unanimous in their submissions that the name of
Sir Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje, a celebrated top civil servant and retired permanent secretary in Delta State Government House has been recorded in the good side of history.
As he clocked 60 today, family members, friends, associates and well wishers have been falling over themselves to pay tribute to a kind hearted and jolly good fellow.
Edwin, a scion of the famous Gbegbaje family in Ekpan, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State, a family noted for producing top bureaucrats and influential public servants.
For 35 years until he retired in January 2024, he added values to Delta State civil service, deepening its positive nuances and was one of the people that nurtured the civil service of the young state upon creation in 1991 to its now enviable heights, setting it along with others on a trajectory that has made it one of the best in the country.
Gbegbaje’s story is far from the proverbial rags-to-riches . He was born into comfort and high society, but suddenly lost his affluent parents in his first and third years at the University of Jos, but with good counsel and guidance of relatives who were bureaucrats, Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje made a career choice that saw him becoming a permanent secretary at 46, a very rare feat in those days.
In an interview conducted three years ago to celebrate his 57 years, he offered a glimpse into his life, challenges and triumph. “I come from the larger Gbegbaje family in Ekpan, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State. We have quite several branches of the genealogical tree. We have the Abesan. The patriarch of the family is Chief Gbegbaje Dasone.
“We have Oloyo Gbegbaje and Ogidi Gbegbaje. My parents were civil servants like myself. My mum was a social welfare officer who rose through the ranks.During the late Ambrose Ali administration in Bendel State, she was appointed permanent secretary. My father was a medical doctor.
“He was the first radiologist in the defunct Bendel State and second in the country. My father was the chief consultant radiologist in Bendel State. I also have an uncle, Mr. K Gbegbaje who was a permanent secretary. When he retired, he became the Chairman of Bendel State Civil Service Commission. I have an uncle who was the first Accountant-General of Kwara State. He was in the northern civil service in the 60s.He later became Chairman of National Oil. I am from a family of bureaucrats. I attended Emotan Primary School in Benin.
“I proceeded to Edo College. When I left Edo College, I had the desire to leave Benin. Even when I was admitted into UNIBEN to study Economics and Statistics, I wasn’t enthusiastic. So, I got admission to study Political Science in Jos in 1981. Prof Emovon from UNIBEN was the Vice-Chancellor in Jos at the time. As I was entering, Jos ceased being a campus of the University of Ibadan. I was there from 1981 -1985. I graduated before my 21st birthday.
“Unfortunately, I lost my dad as I was entering the university in 1981. When I was just getting into my third year, I lost my mum.
It wasn’t easy being the eldest among my siblings. In fact, I was encouraged to come for Christmas holiday in Benin without knowing that the evening of my arrival in Benin was the period of my mum’s service of songs.
“I didn’t have an inkling that such a thing had happened. I didn’t even hear that she was ill. I was shocked when I saw canopies in my compound at Ovie Whiskey Avenue close to Ekhewan Campus. A prominent Jos-based businessman from Ughelli encouraged me to visit home for Christmas.
“I graduated in 1985 and taught at a secondary school in Iko-Eket, Cross River State. Just as I was finishing, there were some advertisements for jobs. I didn’t see the one for NNPC early enough.Towards the end of 1988, my uncle who was the Chairman of Bendel State Civil Service Commission, said since I couldn’t get a private sector job, I should participate in extended interviews, especially since I had sat for ASCON examination.
“He advised me to start a career in the civil service. By the end of 1988, letters of appointment were out. I wasn’t conscious of the fact that the person who resumes first becomes the senior in service. I didn’t resume early. My uncle said I was supposed to have resumed instead of waiting to resume in the New Year. A few of my friends who were conscious of it had resumed and they became my seniors in service. I resumed on January 3, 1989.
“That was how my career started. We were supposed to come in as administrative officers Grade 7, but at that time there was a decree. So, by the time we came in, we were designated as personnel officers. We were regarded as the special class.
“Upon the creation of Delta State on August 27, 1991, we all had to move to Asaba. In fact, the movement was swift.
We were all not fully prepared for the swift movement. There was a surge of human beings into Asaba with the state creation. A lot of us couldn’t get accommodation in Asaba when we came. In fact, I stayed in Ibusa for nine years. It was when I met my wife that we moved to Asaba. A lot of my colleagues were sleeping in the offices then.
On his retirement, the Delta State governor praised Gbegbaje’s contribution to the growth of the state.
Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, at the retirement thanks-giving service of Gbegbaje, urged civil servants in the state to emulate his virtues.
Speaking at a grand reception in honour of the celebrant at the Events Centre, Asaba, Governor Oborevwori described Ogidi-Gbegbaje as an intelligent, humble, diligent, transparent, process driven, selfless, accountable and compassionate bureaucrat.
While congratulating the retired Permanent Secretary for his diligent and patriotic service to the state, Oborevwori said Ogidi-Gbegbaje was very helpful in the last seven months of his administration.
According to him, “a lot has been said about Sir Eddy Ogidi-Gbegbaje and I also have a personal experience about him while I was Speaker and in the last seven months as Governor of Delta State, we have worked very closely and he helped me to settle down quickly.
“Sir Ogidi-Gbegbaje played his role very well, he is diligent in his duties and was always giving good and useful advise wherever he worked.
“Your service to humanity is something worth emulating and I must say that I enjoyed working with you. I congratulate you for 35 years of unblemished and meritorious service to the government and people of Delta State.
“We are going to miss you, the civil service will miss you, the machinery of government will miss you, you are retired but you are not tired, and your service is still needed.
“I want other civil servants to emulate your commitment to duty. So my message to other civil servants is that they should emulate Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje.
“If you look at his journey in the civil service from Bendel to Delta, you see his commitment to duty. Today, he has finished strong and we rejoice with him and his family”.
Chairman of the occasion and former Minister of Information, Professor Sam Oyovbaire, congratulated the celebrant for a successful retirement from service and urged other civil servants to emulate his kind virtues and commitment to duty.
From all indications, Edwin Ogidi-Gbagbaje is worth celebrating, he has touched numerous lives in the last six decades.
At the cusp of his 60th anniversary, the social and the civil service landscapes pulse with milestones he has achieved thus reasserting his worth as a rare force of nature. As family and friends join him in celebrating his 60th birthday, the image that pops into head is that of his genius and the passionate intensity he possesses, literally squizing water from stone as far as the public service is concerned. His brilliant performance as a permanent secretary, Delta State Government House, has earned him another appointment. He is currently the Chairman, Delta State Bureau for Pension and has been giving a splendid account of himself.

November 22, 2024“In All Life’s Hardships, Keep Your Smile” By Prudent Ludidi
Let’s talk about a powerful tool that can help you navigate life’s challenges with confidence, resilience, and hope. That tool is your smile.
Life can be tough. It can throw us curveballs, test our resolve, and push us to our limits. But in the midst of hardship, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. We forget to smile, forget to laugh, and forget to live.
Your smile is more than just a facial expression. It’s a symbol of strength, courage, and determination. It’s a beacon of hope that shines brightly, even in the darkest moments.
When life gets tough, it’s tempting to frown, to cry, or to give up. But I urge you to do the opposite. Smile. Smile through the tears, smile through the pain, and smile through the struggles.
Smiling doesn’t mean you’re ignoring your problems or pretending everything is okay. It means you’re choosing to rise above, to find the silver lining, and to focus on the good.
Your smile has the power to transform your mindset, inspire others, diffuse tension, and heal emotional wounds. It’s a powerful antidote to stress, anxiety, and fear.
Think about it. When was the last time you smiled? Really smiled? Not just a polite smile or a forced grin, but a genuine, heartwarming smile?
Smiling can:
Reduce stress and anxiety
Boost your mood and energy
Improve your relationships
Increase your resilience
So, how can you keep your smile shining bright, even in the face of adversity?
Find the humor in difficult situations. Laughter is a powerful way to shift your perspective and lighten the load.
Practice gratitude daily. Focus on the good things in your life, no matter how small they may seem.
Surround yourself with positivity. Spend time with people who uplift and support you.
Take care of your physical and mental well-being. Get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and prioritize self-care.
Remember, your smile is contagious. It can light up a room, brighten someone’s day, and change the atmosphere.
In all life’s hardships, keep your smile. It’s a reminder that better days are ahead, that you’re stronger than you think, and that you’re not alone.
Your smile is your superpower. Use it to overcome obstacles, to uplift others, and to create a ripple effect of joy and positivity.
Don’t let life’s challenges steal your smile. Keep shining, keep smiling, and keep pushing forward.
You are stronger than you think.
You are braver than you feel.
And you are capable of overcoming anything that comes your way.
So, smile. Smile with confidence. Smile with courage. Smile with hope!

He went further to affirm that Lagos is also indicative of the degree to which Nigeria’s economic, political, social, and cultural landscape is deeply embedded within the global system.

Ambassador Tukur Buratai, while delivering the lecture in a paper titled: Lagos in Nigeria’s National Security and Defence Architecture: An Analysis.
Ambassador Tukur Buratai postulated in his paper that, “The presence of strategic military installations, the verse Atlantic Ocean and extensive coastline has placed Lagos State on the strategic defense map of the Armed Forces of Nigeria”, He said further that, ” While the sea provides a strategic economic status it could also be vulnerable to external attacks across the ocean”.
In his paper, Ambassador Tukur Buratai reiterated that the Lagos State government should begin to look at the options and implications of having its own security.
Ambassador Tukur Buratai also emphasized the urgent necessity to bolster our nation’s troop level to 800,000. He said a larger and more robust force will enhance operational readiness, improve our country’s capacity to respond to various contingencies, and strengthen our alliance on the international stage.
He also called for the establishment of a Marine Corps for the Nigerian Navy to be strategically stationed in key regions such as Lagos, Borno, Cross River, and Port Harcourt.
He also raised the pressing issue of the persistent lack of stable power supply in Lagos. He asserted that the Lagos State Government must urgently prioritize the development of independent power generation.
Ambassador Tukur Buratai also lauded the Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s strategy regarding security in Lagos, which provides an example for governor’s throughout Nigeria.
