Primate Ayodele Releases 30th Edition Of Prophecy Book ‘’ Warnings To The Nations’
*Primate Ayodele Releases 30th Edition Of Prophecy Book ‘’ Warnings To The Nations’
Renowned prophet and the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has released the much anticipated 30th edition of his annual prophecy book titled Warnings To The Nations on Saturday, 6th of July, 2024 at his Lagos church.
The 30th edition of Warnings To The Nations which always contains prophetic revelations to several nations across the world is a 435-page publication that highlighted some global topical issues that includes the upcoming US presidential election, Nigeria’s 2027 election polls, Ghana elections, Ondo and Edo governorship elections, Biafra and Oduduwa Republic, state police, Third World War , Israel-Gaza conflict , warnings to organizations in different sectors including education, aviation, maritime, sports, media organizations, science and technology, banking, warnings to significant individuals like Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Mohammed Dewji, Koos Bekker, Strive Masiyiwa, Micheal Roux, Diogo Costa, Allison Becker, Edouard Mendy, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Karim Benzema, Neymar, C. Ronaldo, and several others.
On the US election, Primate Ayodele noted that it will take the grace of God for Joe Biden to come back as the President of the United States. He made it known that the only way he can win is through serious strategy.
‘’I am seeing big challenges ahead of Joe Biden. And of course, there are a lot of things that Joe Biden will begin to do at the last minute to gain people’s vote. The fact is Joe Biden is going to have a very tough election. The only thing is they can only win this election if Trump is not going to contest and lose some states. That’s when Joe Biden will come back. But I can tell you that Joe Biden coming back will take the grace of God. It will be very tough. But strategically, Joe Biden can make it back. It is only strategy that will make Joe Biden to come back.’’
In the Ghana election, the prophet foresaw the loss of Ghana’s former president, John Mahama in the election polls if he fails to do the right thing.
‘’Mahama can win if he takes precautions and does what is needful. If he refuses to do what is needed, he will fail this coming election completely. And this will send him oblivious in Ghana politics. He needs a lot to do to work on the upper footer, to work on the north, and to also work on the south. If he doesn’t work on this and seek the face of the Lord, I tell you that Mahama will lose this election because the ruling party is desperately ready at all levels. ‘’
On Nigeria’s 2027 election, Primate Ayodele noted that opposition candidates will be joking if they don’t form a coalition because without it, it will be difficult to remove President Tinubu from office. He warned the president of challenges he would face in his attempt to secure a second term.
‘’Though, OBI, ATIKU and other candidates will want to contest for the 2027 election, they will only need a coalition to take Tinubu out of office. Without a coalition in 2027, as the Lord reveals, a lot of politicians will just be deceiving themselves in a big way as the majority of them will want to be president. The only combination of contestants that can trouble Tinubu is when a very strong Northerner candidate and a Southwest person go in for election. If they formed a coalition with other parties, that’s the only way the election can be tough and without that, it won’t be possible at all. It will still be the same noise that they make in 2023 that they will still make in 2027. ‘’
‘’Some northerners will make moves to cause disunity in Tinubu’s government because they will be angry as they will feel left out in the government’s scheme of things. The northerners will not be happy with the government of Tinubu. Some will be favourable, some will not and this will cause a kind of burden for the President. The aggrieved northerners will want to dump Tinubu’s movement as some of their kinsmen who have been carried along will continue to block others. In view of all these, the northerners will sing discordant tunes as there will be confusion among them. Meanwhile, the Tinubu’s government will consciously put in efforts to see that there is peace between its government and the northerners but those at the non-benefiting end will give a strong condition. The government needs to recalculate the package in order to get things right.’’
On state policing, Primate Ayodele wrote that it will come alive no matter how long it takes but there will be serious conflict around it.
‘’STATE POLICE: I foresee that the institution will come alive no matter how long it takes. The Organization will be voted for to come into existence and it will be a strong medium to check insecurity. Serious conflicts will arise between state and federal police which will affect the operations of the police force in the country. ‘’
On the Israel-Gaza conflict, Primate Ayodele revealed when it will end and what should be done by world leaders.
‘’The Israel-Gaza proposal to end the war can be actualized in another 6-7 months from now If the US pushes it very properly, it will definitely end. They will be trying to form a new government in Israel to unseat Netanyahu but as part of his sit tight strategy, he will unbelievably expose Israel to more critical but terrible situations. Israel will not take it easy. Many people will go against the President, Netanyahu. A lot of laws will be passed against Netanyahu for him to end the war. Meanwhile, the Israelis that are kidnapped in Gaza, most of them will die. Apart from this, Netanyahu wanted to make sure that he gets rid of Hamaz before he stops the war.’’
On the Third world war, Primate Ayodele stated that the manifestation is very slim even though there will be worries about it.
‘’Some people will be trying to frustrate or to foment the third world war which I have not seen its reality in 2024. People will be afraid that third world war may happen but the manifestation is very slim. It is not certain that the third world war can come up.’’
In the education sector, Primate Ayodele foretold technological improvements in Nigerian institutions. He also specifically mentioned names of all Nigerian institutions in the publication.
‘’The education sector in Nigeria will improve as I foresee that technology will take over in another dimension. Technology will boost the study of medicine and other health related courses and the sector will benefit immensely. There will be a lot of positive changes as technology will take over and many processes will be digitalized. Let us rebuke the death of great business tycoon, Vice Chancellor, head of faculty of law in schools like UNILAG, LASU, UNIBEN, ABU.’’
On personalities, Primate Ayodele warned several individuals that cut across businessmen in several nations including Nigeria.
‘’ALIKO DANGOTE: Aliko must pray for God’s divine protection and success. He must rebuke huge loss of money or investment and death of a very close ally or a family member. I foresee he will be tormented as he will face several unpleasant challenges which he must watch out for. He must pray for God’s protection and directive on his businesses in order to avert business shut down. Dangotes’ properties will be attacked. He must pray against inferno. This is very important.’’
‘’KOOS BEKKER: He must commit all his efforts in the hand of God so that he will not see calamity that creates setbacks for his business. I foresee that he will commit a lot of resources into his business expansion’’
‘’MOHAMMED DEWJI : The family must be very prayerful so that God can support the new research that they will embark on. I foresee they will start a new business which will grow massively but might lacks sustenance and durability.’’
‘’STRIVE MASIYIWA: This individual must pray for God’s protection and good health as I foresee that his health might trouble him. He must rebuke investment that will not yield expected returns.’’
‘’MICHIEL LE ROUX: He must pray against confusion as I foresee that his business will be hijacked. Some people will create troubles for his business, and must pray not to undergo any ailment’’
On the sports scene, Primate Ayodele warned notable players, clubs, national teams and coaches in the newly released Warnings To The Nations.
‘’Let us pray not to lose an active Ruby, Cricket and Hockey player as I foresee a notable Ruby player undergoing surgery. Let us rebuke the death of any coach in the Sport of Ruby. Some Sport Directors will be sacked, and fraud will be detected in activities of many clubs. The Clubs must also be diligent and careful enough not to run into debt as i see that some clubs’ licences will be withdrawn.’’
‘’CRISTIANO RONALDO: He will win a contract and he must be careful because of court matters. I foresee that his efforts will be widely recognized. But he must be careful not to be dragged into necessary issues. He will change his club and he will make a landmark history and he will win a glorious award. ‘’
‘’LIONEL MESSI : I foresee this player will bargain with the club, have an injury and will not perform excellently well. He will be instrumental to the enviable attainments of his club. He will have some issues with the management.. He must rebuke court cases and pray not to lose money. He needs to pray against blackmailing.’’
‘’KYLIAN MBAPPE: The spirit of God says this person will change his club for a bigger club side; possibly Real Madrid where he will succeed and he will attain greater heights. There, I foresee he will shine brightly and will win a Cup and he will become a global star player; but he must be careful of aggressiveness that will affect his career. The spirit of God says he must be prayerful so that he will not be accused of rape.’’
‘’KARIM BENZEMA: This player will go on retirement because of serious injuries. I foresee his efforts and activities will not go smoothly as expected. He will suffer diminishing returns in his performances.’’
‘’NEYMAR: This player will become a victim of racist abuses on the field of play and He will not perform so much as his record will not be too good to take up to the level he wants to attain. He will change his club and must be watchful and careful so as not to be intimidated.’’
Furthermore, asides the aforementioned prophecies contained in WTN 2024, every country, provinces, states, local governments, presidents, governors around the world were included in these warnings.
In addition, the compilation of Warnings To The Nations started in March 2024 and prior to the official release, some prophecies have come to pass already. The UK general election which PM Rishi Sunak lost was foretold in the 30th edition of the prophetic publication.
Reclaiming Identity: Why Nigerians Must Know Their State Flags, Capitals, and Heritage
By George Omagbemi
Sylvester
In the intricate mosaic that is Nigeria, a federation of 36 states and a Federal Capital Territory, it is both ironic and alarming that many citizens are unaware of their own state’s flag, capital, or historical relevance. In a nation grappling with identity crises, ethnic disunity, and declining national consciousness, such ignorance is not merely a trivial gap in civic knowledge but a serious deficit that weakens our collective fabric.
This article argues, with 100% factual backing, that every Nigerian should know their state flag, its colors and symbolism, the capital city, and what their state is uniquely known for ie. economically, historically, and culturally. More so, it is time to elevate state flags to the same civic prominence as the Nigerian national flag. This is not merely a symbolic gesture, it is also a critical step toward nurturing inclusive patriotism, strengthening federal identity, and reviving cultural pride.
The Foundation of Identity: States as Building Blocks
Nigeria’s current federal structure, enshrined in the 1999 Constitution (as amended), is built upon 36 constituent states, each with a unique cultural and economic identity. These states are not arbitrary divisions; they are legacies of historical evolution; from colonial provinces to regions and finally states. From Lagos to Borno, Bayelsa to Sokoto, each state carries a story of struggle, resilience, and distinction.
Knowing one’s state flag and capital should be the minimum requirement of citizenship. These are not mere symbols but they are repositories of history and pride. In the United States, individual state flags are displayed in government offices, classrooms and even private homes. In India, every state celebrates its own formation day with fanfare, highlighting local heroes, culture and achievements. Nigeria must follow suit if it hopes to rebuild patriotism from the grassroots up.
A Legacy of Leadership: Military and Civilian Administrations
Nigeria’s journey through governance, military and civilian has shaped the identity and development trajectory of each state. For instance, the creation of 12 states by General Yakubu Gowon in 1967 was a direct response to ethnic tensions and a strategic move to weaken Biafra’s secessionist agenda. Subsequent expansions under Murtala Mohammed (1976), Ibrahim Babangida (1987 and 1991), and General Sani Abacha (1996) brought the total to 36 states.
Each state has evolved through this complex political history, yet citizens remain uninformed of the very symbols that represent them. How can one claim state pride when they cannot identify their flag or describe the meaning of its colors?
Importance of State Flags: Colors and Meanings
Although Nigeria’s federal system permits states to create their own emblems and flags, public awareness and usage are dismally low. A few examples illustrate this deficit:
Lagos State Flag: Green, blue, and white. Green symbolizes agriculture, blue denotes the Atlantic Ocean, and white stands for peace. Lagosians should proudly display this flag alongside the Nigerian green-white-green.
Delta State Flag: Green, white, and blue.
Green – agriculture and the state’s rich vegetation.
White – peace and unity among the diverse ethnic groups.
Blue – the River Niger and the state’s vast water resources.
Delta State, known as the Big Heart of the Nation, is rich in oil and gas, cultural diversity, and resilient people. A flag reflecting these attributes deserves prominent display in public institutions to foster pride and unity.
Rivers State Flag: Blue, white, and green. Blue symbolizes the River Niger, white peace, and green for agriculture. Given its status as the oil capital of Nigeria, this identity should be celebrated more openly.
These flags were not arbitrarily designed—they reflect deep-seated realities and aspirations of each people. Yet, due to poor civic education and lack of emphasis by successive administrations, many Nigerians cannot recognize these flags, let alone interpret them.
A comprehensive list of state flags and their colors, though not officially standardized in all 36 states, must be curated and taught in schools. States without official flags must be encouraged to develop them, backed by legislative frameworks to ensure adoption and proper display.
Cultural and Economic Uniqueness: What States Are Known For
Each state in Nigeria has a comparative advantage and cultural uniqueness. For example:
Kaduna is a hub of military and educational institutions.
Enugu is known as the “Coal City,” rich in mining history.
Benue is Nigeria’s food basket, dominant in yam and fruit production.
Ogun is a cornerstone of industrial activity.
Osun is home to the sacred Osun-Osogbo Grove, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Cross River boasts of Obudu Cattle Ranch and Calabar Carnival.
Understanding these unique identities fosters internal tourism, regional development, and national cohesion. Citizens must be taught to appreciate their state’s economic potential and cultural wealth, not just as passive observers but as participants in its growth.
The Map and the Mind
Cartography is not merely a geographical exercise; it is a psychological one. The Nigerian map should be etched into every citizen’s consciousness. Every school should have a detailed political map of Nigeria highlighting all 36 states, capitals, and flags. Ministries, agencies, and local government offices should display both national and state flags as part of standard protocol. National pride must be decentralized.
Institutionalizing State Identity
To make this a reality, the following steps must be taken:
Compulsory Civic Education: Every primary and secondary school curriculum should include detailed instruction on state symbols, capitals, governors (past and present), cultural heritage, and economic potential.
Public Display Protocol: Just as the national flag is hoisted in schools and offices, state flags must be displayed prominently in all state institutions.
Flag Registration and Standardization: The Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, in collaboration with the National Orientation Agency (NOA), should catalog all existing state flags and coordinate with state assemblies to design and ratify flags where absent.
National Day for State Celebrations: Like Nigeria’s Independence Day, each state should mark its creation day annually with parades, flag hoisting, cultural exhibitions, and public lectures on its identity and contribution to Nigeria.
Recognition in Diplomatic Missions: Nigerian embassies abroad should reflect all 36 states through visual displays, promoting investment, tourism, and diaspora engagement.
Reclaiming Nigeria from the Bottom Up
We often bemoan the disunity and lack of patriotism in Nigeria, yet overlook the fact that national unity is not built from the top, it is built from the states upward. A man proud of his hometown is more likely to be proud of his nation. A woman who understands her state’s history is more likely to value the nation’s struggles.
When citizens see both their state flag and the national flag waving in unison, they are reminded of the federal promise: unity in diversity.
Final Thoughts
A country that does not know itself cannot lead itself. It is time for Nigerians to stop reciting only the green-white-green and begin embracing the colors of their roots. We must teach our children not only who the president is, but who their first governor was. Not only where Abuja is, but where their ancestral hometown lies on the map. Not only what Nigeria is, but what their own state stands for.
Let us raise the flags of our states, not in competition with the Nigerian flag, but in harmonious complement. In those colors, shapes, and symbols lie the future of our unity, the power of our diversity, and the soul of our federation.

Royal Legacy, Diaspora Loyalty: Ugbajo Itsekiri South Africa and the Vision of Ogiame Atuwatse III CFR
Royal Legacy, Diaspora Loyalty: Ugbajo Itsekiri South Africa and the Vision of Ogiame Atuwatse III CFR
By George Omagbemi Sylvester | South Africa
In an era where many traditional institutions grapple with relevance and impact, the Warri Kingdom stands tall under the progressive and visionary leadership of His Imperial Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse III CFR. Since ascending the ancient throne of his forefathers, the 21st Olu of Warri has not only reinvigorated the Itsekiri nation but has also awakened a new consciousness within the diaspora—a sense of purpose, unity, and service.
This wave of renaissance has reached the shores of South Africa, where the Ugbajo Itsekiri South Africa Chapter has emerged as a beacon of hope and development under the tireless leadership of Mr. Eyitemi Jakpa, the esteemed Olaga. More than just a diaspora group, this chapter exemplifies the deep connection between homeland and diaspora, inspired by the Olu’s clarion call for collective responsibility and cultural rejuvenation.
Royal Inspiration, Diaspora Mobilization
Since Ogiame Atuwatse III’s coronation in August 2021, the Warri Kingdom has witnessed a rebirth—not just within its traditional domain, but globally. His Majesty’s reign is rooted in compassion, service, and futuristic thinking. His message has been clear: the Itsekiri nation must rise as a people grounded in culture, driven by education, and united by purpose.
The Ugbajo Itsekiri South Africa Chapter has answered this call with unwavering dedication. No longer content with just being observers, they have become active participants in shaping the destiny of their homeland. Their most notable contribution so far is in one of the most basic yet essential areas of life—access to clean water.
Lifelines from Afar: The Jack Pump Projects
In many rural communities, clean water is still a dream deferred. But for the people of Ugbuwangwe, Ode-Itsekiri, and Okotomu, that dream is becoming a reality thanks to the intervention of Ugbajo Itsekiri SA.
The chapter has successfully funded and installed three Jack Pumps:
Ugbuwangwe Community Water Pump Project (2024)
Ode-Itsekiri Community Water Pump Project (2024)
Okotomu Community Water Pump Project (ongoing, 2025)
These water projects do more than quench thirst—they uplift lives. Women and children no longer have to trek long distances to fetch water. The risk of waterborne diseases has drastically decreased. The impact is not just physical, but psychological. These communities now enjoy improved health, hygiene, and a renewed sense of dignity.
Indeed, these Jack Pumps are not just mechanical installations—they are monuments of love, symbols of global Itsekiri solidarity, and a tribute to the royal vision that prioritizes the welfare of all Itsekiri people, whether at home or abroad.
Cultural Fidelity: Celebrating the Monarchy Abroad
The strength of a people lies not just in development but in the preservation of their identity. Ugbajo Itsekiri SA has remained true to this ideal, demonstrating unwavering loyalty to the Warri throne. The chapter has been visibly present at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd anniversaries of the reign of His Imperial Majesty during the Uge-Oyo Ekoro ceremonies held in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
These cultural pilgrimages to Warri are not mere formalities—they are spiritual homecomings. They are opportunities to reconnect with ancestral values, reaffirm loyalty to the Olu, and showcase to the world that no matter the distance, the bond between Itsekiris and their King remains unbroken.
Education as Empowerment: Lifting the Next Generation
Beyond physical development and cultural engagement, Ugbajo Itsekiri SA has also invested in the most powerful tool of transformation: education. In a deeply thoughtful initiative, the chapter donated 500 notebooks to students across three Itsekiri primary schools:
Orugbo Primary School
Agbeje Primary School
Ginuwa Primary School
This gesture may appear small to some, but to these children, it is an empowering gift—a passport to knowledge, a step toward a better future. It affirms the Olu’s belief that no Itsekiri child should be denied the tools needed to succeed in life. Education, under this royal philosophy, is not a privilege but a right.
The Royal Mandate: Development with Dignity
It is important to stress that none of these achievements occurred in isolation. They are the direct consequence of a royal philosophy that merges tradition with modernity. Ogiame Atuwatse III has redefined kingship, transforming it from ceremonial leadership into developmental statesmanship. He has made it clear that tradition must evolve to serve people better.
The Olu’s tireless efforts in promoting gender equity, youth empowerment, environmental sustainability, and global diplomacy have inspired Itsekiris worldwide to rise to the occasion. Under his reign, being a member of the Itsekiri nation is not just a matter of birth—it is a call to action.
A Call to Other Diaspora Chapters
The Ugbajo Itsekiri South Africa Chapter stands as a model of what is possible when the diaspora is mobilized for good. Their accomplishments should serve as a rallying call to other Itsekiri associations across Europe, America, Asia, and beyond. The Olu has created the vision; it is now up to every loyal subject to run with it.
There are roads to build, hospitals to equip, schools to support, and dreams to fulfill. In the words of the Olu, “If we do not build our nation, who will?” It is a question that echoes not only through the creeks of Delta State but also through the bustling cities of Johannesburg, London, Houston, and Tokyo.
Spiritual Monarch: The Sacred Names of Ogiame
His Majesty is not just a king in the political sense; he is also a deeply spiritual figure. The Olu of Warri holds sacred titles passed down through generations, each steeped in cultural, ancestral, and divine meaning. Among the many revered names by which he is known are:
Ogbowuru
Afọmasi
Afọtsẹ
Ọba N’Ame
Afọwẹrẹ tse wẹrẹ
Ugbobrikiti
Jẹnẹkpo Ọsọndada
Iyẹmẹriko Ogbe
Ẹkpẹnmuodidi
Ẹkunkpregedeọsọn
Ọba Omì u
Ọba oke
Ọba Ọluranran
Olaja ni Ojo
These titles are not mere honorifics—they are living expressions of the king’s spiritual mandate, his divine guardianship over the land and people, and his connection to the supernatural. They reflect a sacred trust, a kingship that transcends politics and touches the very soul of the Itsekiri nation.
Conclusion: Royalty, Responsibility, and Renaissance
The story of Ugbajo Itsekiri SA is more than a story of charity—it is a story of identity, purpose, and destiny. It is a story that affirms the enduring relevance of traditional leadership when it aligns with modern development goals.
Under the divine and distinguished reign of His Imperial Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse III CFR, the Itsekiri people are writing a new chapter—one defined by unity, excellence, and global relevance. The King has set the tone; the diaspora is playing the music.
Together, they are dancing to a future that is bright, noble, and worthy of their proud heritage.
