Is Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy On Olubadan-Designate, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin Coming To Pass?

Fouani’s MD : How Primate Ayodele Foretold Kidnap Of Important Personalities In May

Is Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy On Olubadan-Designate, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin Coming To Pass?

 

 

Since the demise of the last Olubadan, there has been an issue regarding the coronation of the newly appointed Olubadan, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin.

 

Is Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy On Olubadan-Designate, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin Coming To Pass?

 

 

There has been growing concern because he has not been visibly present and just a few days ago, the Otun Balogun of Ibadanland, Oba Tajudeen Ajibola revealed that the Olubadan-designate isn’t fit to rule the people of Ibadan.

According to him, Oba Olakulehin is not healthy and cannot be available for the coronation process due to his illness. He opined that Olakulehin should be given time to be healthy before his pronouncement, declaring that the seat should remain vacant for now.

Although this information has been kicked against by the family of the Olubadan-designate, reports have it that a Nigerian prophet, Primate Ayodele had earlier in April that the Olubadan-designate will not last on the throne because of health issues.

The prophet warned that he needs to pray for his health because it will become very challenging for him

These were his words

‘’The incoming Olubadan will not last, he should pray for his health and life otherwise his health will become a major challenging one.’’

Truthfully, most Olubadan battle with health issues but it happens only when they ascend the throne and after some years but the health status of the Olubadan-designate is what makes the prophetic warning of Primate Ayodele outstanding. It rarely happens that the health of a monarch would stop him from going through the coronation process but as it stands, the throne of the Olubadan may remain vacant for long if the Olubadan-designate is unable to recover on time.

Olubadan-designate is yet to ascend the throne of his forefathers yet his health has become an issue for him, is Primate Ayodele’s prophecy coming to pass already?

When You Accept, You Win: The Untold Secret to Inner Peace

When You Accept, You Win: The Untold Secret to Inner Peace.

By George Omagbemi Sylvester | Published by SaharaWeeklyNG.com

“Life is not about being better than someone else; it is about being better than you used to be.” ~ Wayne Dyer

Life is not a straight road; it twists and turns, stumbles and rises and often punches us in the gut when we least expect it. No one, not even the most privileged or the most pious, is promised constant happiness. In fact, to assume that life will always go your way is a dangerous illusion. The truth is that life can never guarantee happiness, but it does offer us the power to endure, grow and most importantly ACCEPT.

This acceptance is not weakness; it is power. It is the key to peace of mind in an unpredictable world. When we understand that there are things beyond our control (other people’s success, the circumstances of our birth, time, death, betrayal, loss, missed opportunities) and we choose to stop wrestling them, we begin to live freely. Acceptance does not mean surrender; it means clarity. It is the admission that some battles are not worth your mental health, your joy, or your future.

 

The Myth of Constant Happiness. We live in an age where social media sells the illusion that everyone else is doing better than us; smiling on yachts, attending million-dollar weddings, buying new homes, posing with luxury cars, launching billion-dollar start-ups. The pressure to “KEEP UP” can make people lose their sense of reality. Now here’s the truth: no one is happy all the time and nobody’s life is as perfect as it looks online.

According to a 2023 global study by Ipsos, over 45% of people worldwide reported feeling stress and anxiety daily, despite apparent success or wealth. The World Health Organization also confirmed that depression remains the leading cause of disability globally. What does this tell us? THAT HAPPINESS is not GUARANTEED by SUCCESS, MONEY or even LOVE. It is FOUND in MINDSET.

Acceptance is Freedom. When you accept that not everything will go your way, you eliminate unnecessary suffering. You accept that you are ahead of alot of people, but others are far ahead of you and that’s okay. Life isn’t a race; it’s a personal journey. Just like the MOON and the SUN, we all SHINE at different TIMES.

In the words of American author Mark Manson: “The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience.”

Acceptance allows you to breathe, think clearly and reset your focus on what you can control. It helps you detach from toxic comparison and walk your unique path with confidence.

COMPARISON is a THIEF. One of the worst habits modern society encourages is the constant COMPARISON of lives, COMPARISON kills JOY. It leads to DEPRESSION, ENVY, RESENTMENT and HOPELESSNESS.
Harvard University’s 75-Year Study on Adult Development (which remains one of the longest-running studies in the world) concluded that people who focused on personal growth and meaningful relationships were far more fulfilled than those who chased social status and compared their lives to others. In simpler terms, you will never be at peace if you constantly measure yourself against someone else.

Control What You Can. Accept What You Can’t.
You didn’t choose your birthplace, the color of your skin, your parents or your early financial background. Some people are born into WEALTH, others into WAR. Some get an early start in life, others crawl into progress through PAIN and FIRE. It is what it is, but here’s what you do control: your MINDSET, your DISCIPLINE, your REACTION, your WORK-ETHIC and your BELIEF-IN-YOURSELF. That is enough.

Billionaire entrepreneur Jack Ma, once rejected by 30 jobs and told he was “NOT GOOD ENOUGH,” said: “You should learn to smile when you fail, knowing that every setback is temporary. What you cannot change, you must learn to rise above.”

Real Growth Begins at ACCEPTANCE. Let us not confuse “ACCEPTANCE” with “RESIGNATION.” Acceptance is understanding the terrain; resilience is deciding to walk the terrain anyway. Once you accept that life isn’t fair, you become stronger. You stop waiting for a perfect opportunity and start building your own. You stop blaming others and start creating solutions.Every mature mind eventually comes to this realization: you are not entitled to an easy life. Life owes you nothing (not success, not justice, not love), but you owe yourself peace, sanity and purpose.

Balance Ambition with Grace. Being ambitious is great, it moves the world forward. Ambition without acceptance becomes poison. It turns into greed, restlessness and desperation. The healthiest ambition is the one balanced with the grace to accept when the timing IS NOT right or when life throws you curveballs.

Michelle Obama, in her memoir Becoming, stated: “Your story is what you have, what you will always have. It is something to own.”

Own your story. Whether you are behind, ahead or stuck in the middle, it is still your journey. You can not photocopy another person’s destiny.

You are Not Late, You are on Your Path. It is said that Colonel Sanders founded KFC at the age of 65 and Morgan Freeman got his breakout role at 52. Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg became a billionaire at 23. Different seasons, different timeliness, same potential for impact. Stop panicking. Life is not a ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL program. What matters is what you do with what you have, where you are. That is the path to real fulfillment.

Inner Peace is the Real Flex. What is more powerful than owning cars or properties? Inner peace. The ability to sleep at night without anxiety, bitterness or fear. The ability to laugh freely, love purely and live fully. Peace of mind is the luxury too many rich people DO NOT have.

In the words of spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle: “Accept — then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.”

This mindset changes everything. It creates emotional intelligence, mental stability and spiritual strength. You become less reactive, more intentional and more grateful.

The Bottom Line: Acceptance Is the Beginning of Power. This is not a call to give up. This is a call to wake up. To see life as it truly is; flawed, unpredictable, yet full of potential. To stop trying to control the wind and instead adjust your sails. To stop chasing shadows and start embracing the light within you. Let go of the illusion of constant happiness. Life will bruise you, humble you, test you. It will also shape you, teach you and (if you let it) transform you. The moment you accept that you are ahead of some and behind others, that life is both suffering and beauty, you find peace; and from peace, you find power.

“Happiness can exist only in acceptance.” ~ George Orwell

Yoruba Forum Commends Shettima for Unalloyed Loyalty to Tinubu ...Says President Made Right Choice for VP in 2023

Yoruba Forum Commends Shettima for Unalloyed Loyalty to Tinubu

…Says President Made Right Choice for VP in 2023

 

The Yoruba Youth Progressive Forum (YYPF) has praised Vice President Kashim Shettima for his “unalloyed loyalty” to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, declaring that his selection in 2023 was a pivotal decision for Nigeria’s progress.

Addressing a gathering of youths, stakeholders, and media at a press conference in Lagos, the YYPF celebrated Shettima’s steadfast commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda, describing him as a “pillar of humility, steadfast loyalty, and composure” in the face of relentless opposition-driven rumours aimed at destabilising the administration.

The Forum emphasised Shettima’s loyalty predating his vice presidency, recalling his support for Tinubu during the 2023 primaries when he boldly championed a Southern presidential candidate, a stance requiring “the highest moral courage and strong commitment to equity and justice.”

“Even long before 2023, when others hesitated and doubted, he stood boldly behind the candidature of Ahmed Tinubu, believing in his capacity and defending his credibility with political bravery,” the YYPF stated.

This decision, they argued, showcased Shettima’s dedication to national interest over regional sentiments, setting a precedent for unity and cooperation.

The YYPF condemned what they described as “unfounded rumours, speculative assertions, and politically engineered fallacies” propagated by opposition elements to sow discord between Tinubu and Shettima.

“We denounce the cheap attempts by some political desperadoes to stir discontent between the presidency and the vice presidency,” the Forum declared, labelling such efforts “unpatriotic” and doomed to failure.

They praised Shettima’s silence amid these provocations as a mark of wisdom and discipline, noting, “A silence that’s not weakness, but wisdom. A composure that’s not detachment, but discipline.”

Highlighting Shettima’s contributions, the YYPF underscored his role as an indispensable ally to Tinubu, from policy formulation to political coordination within the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“Reports from within the APC and across the National Executive Council continue to validate his place as a key strategist, a voice of reason, and a loyal steward of the Tinubu mandate,” they said.

The Forum pointed to Shettima’s diplomatic engagements on security issues, his speeches at public events, and his posture during cabinet meetings as evidence of his maturity, strategic insight, and clear understanding of his duties as Vice President.

The YYPF also celebrated Shettima’s commitment to inclusivity, noting that despite being a Northerner, he has consistently upheld the ideals of “governance of inclusivity” central to Tinubu’s administration.

“He has proven that politics can be principled, and that one can rise through the ranks not by betrayal, but by consistency and strategic alignment,” the Forum stated.

They, however, dismissed attempts to paint Shettima in divisive colours, asserting that his embrace of unity and cooperation has made him a symbol of national integration.

Issuing a stern warning to detractors, the YYPF declared, “Those who are determined to distort the image of the Vice President with malicious narratives are enemies of national progress.

“They must desist or risk being publicly exposed for their treacherous schemes.”

The Forum clarified that their commendation was not driven by ethnic bias or political gain but by a “factual appraisal” of Shettima’s character and competence, which they said transcended tribal boundaries.

In a call to action, the YYPF urged Nigerians to move beyond “archaic differences of North versus South or East, and Christians versus Muslims” and rally behind leaders who prioritise the nation’s future.

“What we are witnessing is a strategic President who has found in Shettima a vice who is not competing for glory but complementing his vision,” they said, emphasising the dividends of harmony, focus, and national cohesion yielded by Tinubu’s choice.
