On social media at the moment, Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele is being dragged for making a statement that some Igbos find derogatory against them.

Primate Ayodele, in a video, had said that the Igbos are battling a curse that is standing against their presidency and that if they don’t cleanse the curse, it will be difficult to get the presidential seat.

He also said that Igbos are the problem of Nigeria. Although what he intended to reference was the secession movements which started with some Igbos with the creation of IPOB, MASSOB and other groups.

His intention was to mention that those who started these movements are within the tribe, but unfortunately, he was misquoted and many have accused the man of God of spreading hatred against the tribe.

However, checks by us have revealed that Primate Ayodele indeed loves the Igbos, like he loves the Yoruba and Hausa. This was evident in some of the things he has done for the Igbos, and they include:

1. Creation of Igbo service: As a church in Lagos, it’s expected that the majority of members would be Yoruba speaking because of the region of the church. However, Primate Ayodele’s church grew to become one that accepts everyone, and due to that, he created a special service for the Igbo community to make them feel among in the church. The Igbo service is always the first service in his church, and after the service, he creates time to see those who may need him to counsel them or provide assistance for them.
2. All-inclusive pastorate: Despite being a Yoruba man, Primate Ayodele ensured that Igbos are represented in his church’s pastorate. At the moment, one of his assistant pastors, who is by name Walter Akachukwu, is an Igbo man, who attends with all his family members after seeing how good the man of God is to everyone, including the Igbos.
3. Philanthropy: Primate Ayodele always ensures his benevolent acts don’t escape the Igbos. Last month, his assistant pastor, Walter Akachukwu, was shocked when the prophet changed the roofing of his house because it was leaking. Still the  same month, the prophet gave Akachukwu N1 Million cash to celebrate his 80^th
4. Fundraising: Recently, a church member, by name, Mr Emmanuel, was given the sum of N10 Million by Primate Ayodele as support towards his kidney transplant process. Beyond that, Primate Ayodele used the moment to call on governors, foundations, eand ven church members to support the ailing member, who is an Igbo person.
5. Pilgrimage sponsorship: Primate Ayodele has sponsored a countless number of people to Jerusalem, and they include Igbos too. He has never seized any opportunity for anyone because they are Igbos.

In March 2024, Primate Elijah Ayodele, in an interview, called on the Nigerian Police and military formations to quickly work on kidnapping in Nigerian academic institutions, as there were plans to abduct students from schools.

This warning was published in several Nigerian newspapers, and in his words, the prophet called on President Tinubu to give it all it takes because the terrorists, which he said were new groups, would spread to other states to perpetrate the acts if they were not seriously tackled.

He made this revelation shortly after a similar incident happened in Kaduna.

These were his words:

 “It is no longer Boko Haram or any existing group that is behind these kidnappings; it is a new group, and they will soon name it. It’s a new terrorism syndicate that must be defeated. We should commit our military in prayers to defeat terrorism; we must not allow terrorists to ruin this government.

‘’These terrorists want to scare people from going to school, they want to destroy the future of this country, but Tinubu shouldn’t agree. He should cooperate with the security outfits to defeat terrorism.

‘’If the government doesn’t act on this, they are ready to move to other states. The government must wake up and curb this now if not, school children will be kidnapped in other states apart from the north.’’

In fulfilment of this prophetic warning, Terrorists in the early hours of Monday stormed the Maga Comprehensive Girls’ Secondary School in Kebbi State, abducting an unspecified number of female students and killing at least one staff member.

A school guard was also injured during the attack, which occurred around 5:52 am.

The attackers invaded the school compound while the students were preparing for morning routines, launching their assault with sporadic gunfire.

Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, a Nigerian-based church, has shown for more than thirty years that his ministry is one headed for global recognition.

Though a Nigerian, Primate Ayodele’s prophecies about every part of the world have always been spot-on in terms of delivery and fulfilment.

It is sometimes mysterious that a prophet domiciled in Nigeria speaks about U.S. politics, and it comes to pass exactly how he said it. A special reference for this is his prophecies regarding the last U.S. election, which Donald Trump won.

Long before the election, he warned the Democratic Party that if Donald Trump got the ticket for his party, they should forget about the election because he would win. He was also the first and only person who revealed that Joe Biden would not have a second term because of his health crisis, as far back as 2021, when the former president was still full of life.

Apart from the U.S. election, in Botswana, Primate Ayodele was the only one who warned that the ruling party was going to lose in the last election. For context, the ruling party had been in power for over 58 years, so it was unbelievable to say such a party that had held on to power for so long would lose — but it happened exactly as he said it.

These were his words:
“In Botswana, the president will make every effort and the country will want to move on to a stage, but the president must be careful so he won’t be disappointed. In the coming election, the president will be disappointed; people will not want to vote for him.”

Aside from that, some political developments that Primate Ayodele warned about have come to pass. For instance, the incident that led to the exit of the former Madagascar president was foretold by the prophet. He specifically warned the president that people would be against him in the country because of his policies, but he didn’t listen. He said it two years before the last election.

“The election — the people will try to call for military intervention. The president will win the election, but they will frustrate his government; he needs to be very watchful.”

In Kenya, the opposition leader, Raila Odinga, recently passed on, and accurately, Primate Ayodele had warned in his 2025 prophecies — which were released in December 2024 — that the country would mourn, as he saw the flag flying at half-mast.

These were his words:
“Kenya: The President will take some steps that will boomerang, which can cause another unrest in the country. The President will borrow funds. The youth will go on a protest against the policies of the President. Honourable members in Kenya will escape attacks and assassinations. There will be climatic problems in Kenya.
Opposition will rise against the President. Two governors will face impeachment. The sincere efforts of the President will be frustrated. Pray against the death of a prominent politician in Kenya, as I foresee that the country will fly its flag at half-mast.”

In Senegal, the emergence of President Faye was well foretold by Primate Ayodele long before the election.
He had warned Macky Sall not to contest because the people would reject him. He also stated that they would reject his candidate, and that except the then opposition leader, Ousmane Sonko, didn’t come out of prison, Macky Sall’s candidate would be defeated.

These were his words:
“Senegalese President Macky Sall doesn’t understand what politics is. The people don’t want his candidate; he needs to quickly do two things: he should strategize urgently to seek the face of God for his candidate to have his way. Also, if the main opposition still produces the man he sent to jail and he wins at the court and faces his own candidate, he will defeat your candidate. Don’t allow him to come out; let him stay as long as you want him there, but the moment he is released from prison, he will toughen your candidate.”

Days before the election, Ousmane Sonko was released from prison. But before then, he had nominated Faye, who wasn’t very well known, to replace him as the candidate of the opposition party. When he got released, he joined him in the campaign and defeated the candidate of the ruling party.

Beyond the election victory, Primate Ayodele warned President Faye and Ousmane Sonko of an impending fight. Mind you, they were both best of friends at the moment the prophet warned, and despite this, he saw beyond the present and mentioned that both of them would have issues.
He stated that they would have a disagreement that would separate them.

These were his words:
“In Senegal, Sonko and Faye, I see a sort of disagreement and separation. Something is about to happen. Watch out. You will have differences that will separate you; watch on this.”

True to his words, the current happenings in Senegal have fulfilled the prophecy of Primate Elijah Ayodele.

A fierce public power struggle has erupted between Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and his Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko, shaking the nation’s ruling coalition and raising fundamental questions about who truly holds political authority.

The crisis ignited on Tuesday when President Faye unilaterally announced the removal of Aïssatou Mbodj, a key Sonko ally, as head of the “Diomaye Président” coalition that secured his 2024 election victory.
He replaced her with his own campaign coordinator, Aminata Touré.

In a swift and defiant response, Sonko convened his Pastef party, which issued a statement rejecting the president’s authority to make such a change.

The party asserted that Faye “does not have the power to dismiss” Mbodj and bluntly declared it shares “neither the same values nor the same principles” with the president’s new appointee, signaling a deep ideological and political rift within the government — as foretold by Primate Ayodele.
