Strange Prophecies Of Primate Ayodele That Came To Pass In 2023
By Anyanwu Paul
You may want to think there is nothing like strange prophecies because no matter how we want to put it, a prophecy is a prophecy but permit me to stick to my understanding and insinuation that there are strange prophecies – I will define it.
Traditionally, prophets have one major subject they talk about which is politics; they prophesy about the next governor or president, the fate of politicians, and everything related to politics and that’s why most of them only get popular during election period but when we see prophecies that talk about deeper things than who will win an election but how the election will be won, how an administration will look like before it even starts, other sectors like education, security, economy, sports, individuals, it is quite strange.
When most prophets talk, they prophesy about almost the same thing but when someone in the prophetic ministry starts talking about subjects others don’t dare talk about for whatever reasons, you know such an individual is a ‘strange prophet’; This is what differentiate Primate Ayodele’s prophecies from every other prophet in the fold.
In Africa, Primate Ayodele can be considered as the strangest prophet on account of the kind of prophecies he churns out. He is the most vocal, talked about, shares the most prophecies about every subject and maintains his position as the most accurate prophet.
Unlike others that share prophecies in parables, Primate Ayodele’s prophecies can be understood by an unbeliever because he simplifies them – another strange character. He is the only prophet whose New Year prophecies run into over 90 pages unlike others that share a list of prophecies for the New Year. He is also the only prophet that publishes a prophecy booklet titled Warnings To The Nations annually containing prophecies for every country in the world, what a strange man!
Few days ago, there was a compilation of 150 prophecies of Primate Ayodele that came to pass in 2023, I doubt if any prophet in the world can make boast of just 20 of their prophecies that was fulfilled this year and this is not to say other prophets don’t hear God but Primate Ayodele just has a strange anointing.
In 2023 too, There are quite a number of strange prophecies of Primate Ayodele that came to pass, let’s take few moment to consider some:
1 Wike VS Fubara : When Primate Ayodele mentioned that there will be issues between the former governor or Rivers state, Nyesom Wike and his successor, Sim Fubara, many didn’t know it will ever come to pass because both of them had a good relationship. Even if it will happen, no one expected it to be soon because it’s obvious Wike brought Fubara to power and was expected to see Wike as his godfather but strangely, it happened. This was foretold immediately Fubara won the election at a time when there was no iota of ‘bad blood’ between the outgoing and incoming governor. No prophet spoke about this aspect of Rivers politics except Primate Ayodele.
2 Price of commodities: Another strange prophecy that came to pass in 2023 is the shocking prices of commodities in Nigerian markets now. Primate Ayodele in his 2023 prophecies had said that another APC government will bring economic woes to the nation. He then went ahead to point out some food items and foretold how much they will sell for before the end of the year.
‘’However, if we pick a wrong President, things are going to be very expensive. I foresee a bag of rice would be very expensive, two sachets of tomatoe paste would cost #500. Imported rice will be #80,000, #100,000, #120,000. Local rice #50,000 which will increase, vegetable oil price will be increased, palm oil, coke, bread and pure water, a sachet will go for #50 – #100. The essential commodities will attract increases in prices. Cement price will go to #4,800 – #5,000.’’
3 BVAS: Nigerians had so much hope in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) because of the BVAS machine because they felt it will stop election fraud but many have lost hope after the 2023 presidential election. When he was talking about the 2023 presidential election, Primate Ayodele stated that BVAS will not be able to curb election malpractices and spoke about the court issues.
“BVAS is not the answer to Nigeria’s election malpractices, it has been manipulated. Some people will be rigged out technically; BVAS will rig out who is popular and bring in the unpopular. Don’t rely on BVAS, it is rigging in a technological way. Anyone who wins may not be removed by the court except God changes the mind of the judge; the rigging will be so perfect.”
4 Liberia Election: The former president of Liberia, George Weah faced the greatest shock of his life when he lost the presidential election that held some months ago. In a strange way, Primate Ayodele warned Weah eight times about his imminent loss of the election to the opposition party. Other prophets majorly said Weah will win the election but for Primate Ayodele, he didn’t only say Weah will lose the election but revealed how he will lose the election. Apart from that, He told Weah what to do in order to win the election but he didn’t listen, hence, leading to his loss.
5 US Political tension: Hardly do we see prophets talk about countries and continents beyond their confinement; if they are from Nigeria, they don’t go beyond their country and Africa but for Primate Ayodele, he touches every continent with his prophecies. The United States Of America experienced serious political tension in 2023 than even before . It was a year when the speaker of the house was removed for the first time in history and the year when electing a new speaker became a serious issue; two different people withdrew their ambition because they could not secure majority votes. Primate Ayodele accurately foretold this.
6 Obaseki VS Shaibu: Primate Ayodele who was the only prophet in Nigeria that foretold victory of Godwin Obaaseki warned that he foresees a fight between the governor and his deputy. He asked both of them to pray against misunderstanding but probably because everything was smooth between them then, they ignored the prophetic revelation.
7 Rotimi Akeredolu: The governor of Ondo state, Rotimi Akeredolu has been battling with health challenges for some time now. This is in fulfillment of the prophecy of Primate Elijah Ayodele which he noted in his annual book of prophecy titled ‘Warnings To The Nations’ released in July 2022. Primate Ayodele in the 2022/2023 edition of the prophecy book asked Nigerians to pray against ailment among sitting governors in the country. He warned that he foresees a sitting governor falling ill while in office.
8 Sierra Leone Military base attack: Among the most recent prophetic warnings that came to pass is the sudden attack on the main and largest military barracks and prison in Sierra Leone, raising fears of a breakdown of order amid a surge of coups in the region. Primate Ayodele had foretold this exact situation in his annual prophecy book titled Warnings To The Nations (2023/2024) edition which was released in July 2023. He categorically mentioned that there will be an attack on the military in Sierra Leone.
9 Donald Trump: Even though Primate Ayodele was among the few clerics who prophesied the surprising emergence of Donald Trump as the President Of The United States Of America (USA) some years back, He was still the major prophet who foretold his unfortunate loss at the last presidential election that produced Joe Biden.
For years, Primate Ayodele has been speaking about former President Donald Trump; His emergence as the president, how his administration will be perceived by the people, how he was going to lose the presidential seat, and what will become of him after his exit from the presidential seat.
It is very rare for former presidents especially in the USA to face serious legal issues that could lead them to jail or get them arrested and this made the prophecy of Primate Ayodele about Donald Trump to be incredible.
10 Godwin Emefiele: in April during an interview session captured in a video, Primate Ayodele was heard saying Godwin Emefiele will be faced with so many troubles as he foresaw his arrest. He also made it known that the CBN governor will be embarrassed unless he seeks the face of God. Just like he prophesied, Godwin Emefiele has been suspended and not only that, was arrested and imprisoned.
11 Israel and Palestine War: In his 2023 prophecies, Primate Ayodele foretold that there will be tension between both countries in the Gaza strip area. He revealed that he foresees fighting between their soldiers in the arena and that efforts to mediate will be futile.
‘’I foresee that in the Gaza Strip there will be serious troubles. This notwithstanding, I foresee that in the Gaza Strip, there will be a kind of bomb blast and fighting between the Israeli and Palestine soldiers. There will be protest in Gaza Strip against the activities of the Israeli security operatives. I foresee that the efforts of all the mediation committees will not yield any reasonable results.’’
It happened exactly how Primate Ayodele said it.
12 Coups: On October 7, 2022, Primate Ayodele in a live service at his Lagos Church told Ali Bongo to resign from the government and hand over to someone else because he foresees a crisis in the form of a military coup. The man of God cautioned Bongo from being selfish and holding on to power but sadly, instead of listening, the president went ahead to seek a third term in office and just when he was declared winner, his reign ended abruptly.
Also, two weeks before Niger Republic coup, , Primate Ayodele sent a warning to African leaders about an impending coup he foresees unless they address it and do the right thing. The man of God made the warning in a video that was shared on his TikTok account but it was ignored, hence, the event of a coup.
13 Alex Otti: No one thought the Labour Party’s candidate in Abia state, Alex Otti would win the governorship election in the state. The state has always been governed by the PDP so it was only normal that the party wins the election but Primate Ayodele’s strange prophecy concerning the ambition of Alex Otti which he revealed three years ago came to pass. The prophet had said three years before the election that Alex Otti will become the next governor of the state while advising APC to choose him as the party’s candidate.
These were his words
‘‘If APC makes use of Alex Otti, He will deliver for APC, He is the only one that can stand in APC come 2023.’’ (https://dailypost.ng/2020/08/25/primate-ayodele-predicts-anointed-candidate-for-abia-apc-warns-gov-akeredolu/)
14 Nnamdi Kanu: Primate Ayodele had said this year that it will be difficult for the government to released Nnamdi Kanu. He made it known that there will be back and forth but the government will not release him. Just last week, the Supreme Court denied him bail and declared that he should be put on trial.
15 Exchange Rate: when we got into 2023, nobody envisaged that a dollar will exchange for more than N1,000. It was barely N600 in the black market and N400 at the official market but Primate Ayodele’s 2023 prophecies captured that the exchange rate will rise to N1,500/$.
“Terrorism and sanitary will be a thing of the past if Nigeria gets the right president. The question now is how Nigeria would get the right president. But if we get the wrong person, fuel will rise to N1,500 per litre, dollars will rise to N1,500; and insecurity will be alarming.”
At the moment, Dollar is N1,200 at the black market and close to N1000 officially. Just like other prophecies, Primate Ayodele was the only one that foretold this strange development and it’s currently happening.
16 Gambia Coup Attempt: The Gambian government says it has foiled a military coup attempt and arrested four soldiers allegedly plotting to overthrow President Adama Barrow’s administration.
This is in fulfillment of Primate Ayodele’s prophecy which he issued some months ago in a video shared on his church’s social media page.
In the video, Primate Ayodele warned Adama Barrow of some steps he is taking which he said will lead to serious troubles in the country and that a military intervention may take place if care isn’t taken.
17 Chelsea: Primate Ayodele’s prophecy on the performance of Chelsea FC has been coming to pass since the beginning of the year. He said last season that the club is cursed and will need the blessing of the former owners in order to succeed. He said in his 2023 prophecy that the club will not perform well.
18 Ghana economy: 2023 was not an easy year for the people of Ghana. There were several protests and demonstrations against the president due to the economic issue faced in the country. Primate Ayodele in his 2023 prophecies mentioned that the country will face issues regarding economy in the year.
‘’GHANA: I foresee the economy of the country will have issues. The economic downturn will cause a big problem for the standard of living of the people. I foresee there will be Political tension and insecurity problems in Ghana. There will be protests against the President’’
19 APC Chairman: the former chairman, Abdullahi Adamu was disgraced out of office and took his leave unceremoniously. Primate Ayodele in his prophecy shared that Adamu will be disgraced out of office. This prophecy was shared at a time Adamu was enjoying a smooth relationship with APC chieftains.
‘’I foresee he will be disgraced and confused out of office. He needs to pray against political robbery. He must be very careful’’
20 EFCC: The former chairman of the EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa’s travail was revealed by Primate Ayodele in his 2023 prophecies. Before then, Bawa was the star of the anti-corruption agency but Primate Ayodele said he won’t be appreciated. As he revealed, Bawa was sacked, imprisoned before finally gaining freedom; he was embarrassed out of office.
‘’The Anti-Corruption Agency people are doing their best. But the man at the EFCC helms of affairs Bawa will not be appreciated. There are many secrets that they can’t expose, if they do, Nigeria will sink.’’

2027 BATTLE: How Much Nigeria Can Save, Invest In Infrastructure By Rotating Power Among Six Geo-political Zones For A Single Term Of Five Or Six Years
2027 BATTLE: How Much Nigeria Can Save, Invest In Infrastructure By Rotating Power Among Six Geo-political Zones For A Single Term Of Five Or Six Years
As a Southernern, particularly from the South East Geo-Political Zone, I believe the most potent argument for us in 2027 is that the North/South zoning arrangement of political power at the center is a scam. It’s a scam because it has only benefitted the South West and the North West geo-political zones since the return of ‘democracy’ (civil rule) in Nigeria on May 29, 1999. Nigeria, it must be clarified has six geo-political zones, not two.
Nigeria was divided into six geo-political zones in 1996 by the military government of General Sanni Abacha. This new zoning arrangement was a brainchild of the 1994/1995 Constitutional Conference chaired by the late Justice Adolphus Karibi-Whyte and empaneled by General Sanni Abacha.
At that Conference, no less a person than former Vice President Chief Alex Ekwueme and a group called Mkpoko Igbo proposed that since Nigeria will now be divided into six geo-political zones, to give all zones a sense of belonging within the Nigerian State, that power at the center should rotate among the six geo-political zones for a single term of five or six years. In their thinking, if power was rotated among the six geo-political zones for a single term of five or six years, within 30 years or 36 years, all six zones would have had one of their own leading Nigeria, particularly, from their first 11 (primus inter pares). The North and the South West delegations at that conference pooh-poohed Chief Alex Ekwueme and summarily shut down that all-important proposal. The rest they say is history.
More than 30 years later, there is yet no national peace, national cohesion, national political stability, national unity, and national loyalty to the Nigerian State. Had the proposal of Chief Alex Ekwueme and Mkpoko Igbo been adopted and implemented since 1999, at least, the 5th Geo-Political Zone would have had one of their own in Aso Villa today, and by 2035, the last geo-political zone would have being sending us one of their own to contest the Presidency across Nigeria’s current 18 political parties. This mathematics is if we had gone with a single term of six years (the maximum limit) as proposed by Dr. Ekwueme and the South East and South South delegates in that 1994/1995 Constitutional Conference.
Fast forward to today, in his recent Arise TV interview, and in some other public and private fora, H.E. Atiku Abubakar asked for Dr. Ekwueme’s forgiveness as he was among key Northern delegates in that Constitutional Conference from the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua group that opposed the rotational presidency among Nigeria’s geo-political zones. Waziri Adamawa had disclosed that he even apologized to Alex Ekwueme when he visited Oko, Anambra State, to pay homage to the former late vice president sometime in 2017/2018.
By and large, for 2027, I believe that the most potent argument that will sell in the South East is that the North East where Waziri Adamawa hails from, just like the South East (our region), had also been marginalized in the scheme of things in Nigeria. Aside from Alhaji Tafawa Balewa from Bauchi State (North East), nobody from the region/zone has been head of national government, head of state, or even president since 1966.
So, H.E. Atiku Abubakar is right in contesting the Presidential election billed for January 16, 2027, to right this wrong, and return Nigeria’s presidency to an equitable distribution of power at the center. When elected, and it’s entrenched in the Nigerian 1999 Constitution (as amended), that power rotates among the six geo-political zones for a single term of five or six years, this new formula will bring about national peace, national cohesion, national unity, and tremendously commandeer national loyalty among Nigerians from across the six geo-political zones for their beloved country, the Nigerian State.
As a budding political scientist of repute and ardent student of contemporary Nigerian history and politics, let me tell us what this formular would do for the Nigerian State. The battle for the soul of the Nigerian State will be ferocious at the zonal level, while the center will become unattractive. So, let’s say it is the turn of the North East Geo-Political Zone to produce the Presidency in 2027, the battle to gift Nigerians their First 11 (primus inter pares) will be ferocious across the States in the region. The people of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe will now be more interested in partisan politics, thus being proactive participants within the current 18 political parties in Nigeria.
Giving Nigeria’s configurations and peculiarities, one of the positives of this political proactiveness is that it’s a win-win situation for the entire region if a man from Adamawa becomes President of Nigeria in 2027. The people from Yobe, Borno, Taraba, Gombe, and Bauchi will be largely happy, contented, hold their peace, love Nigeria better, and be more loyal to the Nigerian State because one of their own is now the GCFR, the primus inter pares, and the No. 1 Citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The steep insecurity that has ravaged the North East Geo-Political Zone since 2009, largely owing to perceived agelong marginalisation, oppression, injustices, would largely die down.
This will be the same case for the South East Geo-Political Zone. Biafra secessionist agitations, IPOB, ESN led by Nnamdi Kanu, will die a natural death. Justice and equity for all breeds contentment among men, and contentment among men births peace, unity, commandeers loyalty, and tremendously brings about prosperity. I stand to be challenged on this self-evident truth on any national television station.
When it is the turn of another region to produce the Presidency, after the North East has had their turn, all political parties in Nigeria must constitutionally present a Presidential candidate from the region whose turn it is to produce the presidency for a single term of six years. This rotational presidency formula must be entrenched in Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution (as amended) by May 29, 2027.
I avow that rotational presidency among Nigeria’s six geo-political zones for a single term of five or six years is the best political science solution to the agelong hydra-headed problem of Nigeria, especially in the guise of disunity, unpeaceful, and disloyalty problems among Nigerian citizens. Doing this will also largely curtail the executive rascalities, legislative rascalities, and judicial rascalities currently being perpetrated by the Bola Ahmed Tinubu led Executive arm; the Godswill Akpabio led Legislative arm; and the CJN Kudirat Motonmori Olatokunbo Kekere-Ekun led Judiciary arm.
The over desperation of getting re-elected for a second term in office, as shown today by Bola Tinubu, will be eraced for future Nigerian Presidents. The humongous money and depletion of Nigeria’s national treasury just for seeking re-election at all cost, and conducting elections will also be erased.
The Highfalutin, Draining Cost Of Conducting Elections In Nigeria?
For the 2023 general election, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) proposed N305 billion in May 2022, which was a 62 percent increase over the 2019 budget. Ultimately, the National Assembly approved N355 billion for the exercise, though the commission spent N313.4 billion as of September 2023.
For the 2027 general election, INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan proposed a total budget of N873.78 billion to the National Assembly in February 2026. This proposal includes N375.75 billion for election operations, N209.21 billion for technology, and N92.31 billion for administrative costs. The Bola Ahmed Tinubu led APC regime had previously allocated N1.01 trillion to INEC in the 2026 budget presented in January 2026.
Ladies and gentlemen, INEC’s election budget ballooned from N355 billion in 2023 to a whopping N873.78 billion for a re-election season in 2027? This is approximately a percentage increase of 146.13%. This is unacceptable, opprobrious, and insalubrious.
If we entrench in the Nigerian 1999 Constitution (as amended), zoning the presidency among the six geo-political zones for a single term of five or six years, this proposed N873.78 billion to coduct the 2027 re-election season would have been eliminated.
What Can N873.78 billion Do For Nigerians In Terms Of Infrastructural Developmental Projects?
If hypothetically redirected or matched in scale for infrastructure development, N873.78 billion could significantly advance Nigeria’s infrastructure across key sectors:
1. Roads and Transportation: This amount could fund the rehabilitation of over 10,000 kilometers (6213.712 miles) of rural and urban roads, especially when combined with technical support from institutions like the World Bank’s RAAMP-SU project.
It could complete critical projects like the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway or support the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, enhancing regional connectivity and trade.
2. Railway Development: Based on past projects, N873 billion could finance a new 600–800 km (373-497 miles) standard gauge rail line, similar to the Abuja-Kaduna or Lagos-Ibadan lines, which were partially funded by Chinese loans.
Rail expansion would boost freight movement, reduce road congestion, and create thousands of jobs.
3. Power and Energy: The sum could support renewable energy projects, such as solar mini-grids for 10,000 rural communities, or fund transmission infrastructure to reduce power losses.
For context, Power Africa facilitated $63 million in renewable energy investments over 26 months—N873 billion could scale such efforts dramatically.
4. Water and Sanitation: Funds could build or upgrade water treatment plants, boreholes, and sanitation systems in underserved urban and rural areas, improving public health and reducing waterborne diseases.
5. Agricultural Infrastructure: The NSIA’s Multipurpose Industrial Platform Ltd (MIPL) in Akwa Ibom, including an ammonia and fertilizer plant, is a multi-billion-dollar project. N873 billion could fund multiple such agro-industrial hubs, boosting food security and reducing import dependence.
Analyzing The Current Infrastructure Spending In Nigeria In Relation To N873.78 Billion?
For comparison, Nigeria’s actual infrastructure allocations are much lower than the humongous money INEC is proposing to conduct the shaky 2027 general elections in Nigeria.
The 2025 Federal Budget allocated ₦4.06 trillion ($2.7 billion) for infrastructure—about 7.4% of total spending.
The National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan (NIIMP) aims to raise infrastructure stock to 70% of GDP by 2043, requiring $100 billion annually—far above current spending levels.
Pension funds invested ₦262.57 billion in infrastructure in the first 10 months of 2025. This is below N873.78 billion being earmarked for the 2027 elections.
Without mincing words, let me aver that the N873.78 billion could transform infrastructural developmental projects in Nigeria, But the fact that this amount is proposed for elections, not infrastructural developmental projects, highlights a mismatch between public needs and government spending priorities in Nigeria, especially under the disastrous APC regime of Bola Tinubu.
Conclusion
While N873.78 billion is earmarked for elections, its scale underscores what Nigeria could achieve in infrastructure if similar resources were consistently invested. Redirecting even a fraction of election budgets toward roads, power, rail, water, and agriculture could accelerate economic growth, create jobs, and improve quality of life in Nigeria. However, transparency, accountability, and long-term planning are essential to ensure such investments yield lasting benefits.
Finally, ladies and gentlemen, let’s consider the substantial ingredients of this political seminal and fix this mess of power rotation at the center among Nigeria’s six geo-political zones for a single term of five or six years. Let’s stop wasting scarce resources in Nigeria conducting re-elections at the center and across state levels. Let’s stop wasting everybody’s time in Nigeria.

“I am fully ready for the 2027 general elections”- ADP, presidential aspirant, Prof. Omolaja, declares.
By Comrade Samson Ajibade Alabi, NLP Media Director
A presidential aspirant under the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Prof Muhammad Omolaja, has said that he is fully ready for the 2027 general elections especially the presidential contest.
Prof. Omolaja who disclosed this in an exclusive interview with pressmen in Abuja on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, said he has done his consultations with leaders of the Party, boasting that he is the next president of Nigeria by the grace of God.
He submitted that he has won the heart of the people at the grassroots across all the States and geopolitical zones including the federal capital territory (FCT); and convinced them about his clear vision and mission for Nigeria.
According to him, Nigerians are tired of the APC government and ready to vote them out in favour of his Party; the ADP!
Prof. Omolaja added that ADP is the only Party that can liberate Nigeria and rescue the citizens from the prevailing insecurity and other challenges facing the country.
The presidential aspirant said “you are asking me if I am ready for the 2027 general elections or not, I hereby inform you categorically that I am fully ready for the election; we have done what to be done, we have systematically carried Nigerians along in our preparations especially the people at the grassroots; and we have let them know that ADP is the only credible alternative Party that can liberate them from all the challenges the country is facing under the prevailing APC government. I am confident that I will get the ticket of our great Party being the leading contestant, and win the upcoming 2027 presidential election by the special grace of the Almighty God”
He therefore urged Nigerians to rally support for him and his Party (ADP) at the polls in the spirit of peace, love, unity, and patriotism in Nigeria.
