THE PRIMATE AYODELE YOU DON’T KNOW BY OSHO OLUWATOSIN

 

 

When Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church is mentioned, what primarily comes to mind is prophecy. Primate Ayodele personifies prophecy. Whether you appreciate him or not, you will inevitably encounter his prophecies daily. Either he releases a new one, or the ones he previously shared are unfolding. In any case, his prophetic side is a daily experience.

 

THE PRIMATE AYODELE YOU DON’T KNOW BY OSHO OLUWATOSIN

 

 

Still on his prophetic prowess, Primate Ayodele accurately foresaw Nigeria’s economic situation before the 2023 presidential election. The video where he predicted current events in Nigeria keeps going viral on the internet. He extends his prophecies to various sectors—sports, education, governance, corporate organizations, and more. A few months ago, he trended on Twitter (Now X) after revealing scores of some matches, ceasing only when punters started using his prophecies for betting. In essence, Primate Ayodele is synonymous with prophecy.

For those keen on the man behind the prophecies, they acknowledge him as a philanthropist. Even Mr. Femi Adesina, the spokesman for Ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, a critic of his prophecies, admires Primate Ayodele’s philanthropic gestures. Adesina attested to the prophet’s massive philanthropy. Primate Ayodele is known as both a prophet and philanthropist. His philanthropic gestures know no bound; Primate Ayodele has given out several vehicles, has thousands of students on scholarships, pays accommodation fee, gives transportation fee to church members who are stranded, empowers the widows, youths and less privileged, support churches with funds, provide financial assistance for the medical bills of church members, support the Muslim communities with food items during Ramadan period, and many more. He is known majorly as a prophet and philanthropists.

For those who believe these are all Primate Ayodele is all about, well, they may be right based on their relationship with the man of God but I am privileged to be a little closer to him than those in the public and in my daily encounter with him, I can attest that there is a whole lot more about Primate Ayodele than being a prophet and a philanthropist.

However, beyond what the public knows, Primate Ayodele has dimensions beyond being a prophet and philanthropist. Contrary to perception, he doesn’t seek publicity for his prophetic warnings on social media or the internet. Despite prophecies being online, Primate Ayodele is not an attention seeker. He prefers to personally reach recipients but turns to the media when other means fail.

What many don’t know is that Primate Ayodele goes to great lengths, even utilizing personal resources, to deliver prophetic messages. Fuji maestro Wasiu Ayinde revealed that Primate Ayodele used to send hand-written prophecies to him, even without a personal relationship.

As his media aide, I have travelled to several countries especially within Africa to deliver hand –written prophecies to personalities just because Primate Ayodele is passionate about his ministry. I remember Primate Ayodele sent me to Kenya in 2021 before the presidential election to deliver a letter to President William Ruto, who was a deputy president then and Raila Odinga who is the opposition leader. The letter was to give them prophetic directions and revelations about how their presidential election would look like. He doesn’t know any of these people and wasn’t looking for a way to start a relationship with them, He only wanted to do the will of God. Unfortunately, none of them acknowledged the letters and this made Primate Ayodele start talking about the election and the chances of the two presidential candidate in the media. At the end of the day, top Kenya news websites applauded Primate Ayodele for being the only prophet to accurately foretell the outcome of the presidential election even before campaign started.

Primate Ayodele doesn’t believe in approaching the media when you have prophecies for certain individuals; the media is always his last resort after trying other means of contacting them personally.

I haven’t seen any prophet who wishes his prophecies don’t come to pass apart from Primate Ayodele. He was at a press conference some years ago and was asked about how he feels whenever his prophetic warnings, especially the negative ones come to pass and his response was that he always feel terrible. Some people call him ‘a prophet of doom’ because all his negative prophecies come to pass but this man doesn’t even feel happy when they do. As a prophet, it is his duty to warn ahead of time so those involved can quickly make amends to avert trouble from happening but when they don’t listen, the words of the prophet will definitely come to pass.

Beyond ministry, Primate Ayodele possesses one of the best personalities. If not a prophet, he would be celebrated as the best man alive due to his genuine goodness.

One thing that struck me is the fact that he is a very compassionate person, he may appear tough and rigid but really, he is too compassionate and has a soft spot for everyone around him at any given point. I remember last year when a journalist who had sight problems attended his annual thanksgiving programme. He had planned to empower him with about N200,000 cash to support his career and didn’t know about his sight issues; apparently, he had been speaking with him just over the phone. Primate Ayodele immediately noticed the sight issue when the journalist, who was assisted by his wife, stepped out from the crowd to claim his cash gift. He gave him the cash and asked from his wife about the sight issues. In her explanation, it was deduced that they needed some certain amount to carry out an operation in order to enable the journalist see properly. Immediately, Primate Ayodele asked them to meet him later for the funds needed to run the operation. It was an emotional moment for everyone present and I was surprised to see other journalists shedding tears in acknowledgment of the distinguished compassion Primate Ayodele has for mankind.

Another salient information people don’t have about Primate Ayodele is that he is a very jovial person, I don’t think any of our comedians can make one laugh as hard as this man of God would make everyone laugh. He is naturally a happy person that loves to make people happy. You won’t see him around any boring person because he doesn’t exude such energy, he loves to laugh and make people laugh. Have you seen Primate Ayodele dance? He has different steps even the best dancers don’t have. I remember asking him some time ago on the inspiration behind his never-seen-before dance steps and he jokingly said they come from the spiritual realm. Truthfully, I haven’t seen them in the physical realm before.

What about his love for football? Despite his busy schedule, Primate Ayodele will always find time to watch football especially when Chelsea FC and Nigeria play. I don’t think there is any AFCON match that he missed because of his love for football. He loves football to a fault but only stops watching when it gets to penalty shootout due to the tension that surrounds that aspect. If I call to ask if he is watching especially during penalty shootout, he would say ‘I am watching with one side of my eyes’.

I have also come to understand that his love for football is borne out of patriotism. He fell in love with Chelsea FC when the club started signing black players from Nigeria and Africa as a whole. Chelsea FC signed Mikel Obi, Victor Moses, Didier Drogba, Michael Essien, Malouda, and several other Africans and this made him fall in love with the club up till date.

When Primate Ayodele prophesy sometimes about Nigeria, people feel he hates the country and doesn’t want progress for the nation but little do they know that this man even loves Nigeria more than they do. He wants the nation to be better at all cost and that’s why he is always speaking truth to those in authority so they can make amends. I haven’t met anyone as patriotic as Primate Ayodele when it comes to Nigeria. Primate Ayodele’s love for the country is so much that he doesn’t go on trips that will make him spend more than three days outside the country. I am aware of the Visas, international invitations he has gotten from different continents but declined them because he doesn’t want to spend days out of the country. This isn’t because of his church because INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has a strong structure, Primate Ayodele doesn’t even minister everytime, he has series of pastors that can stand in gap if he is not around but he just loves Nigeria too much despite the criticisms.

Furthermore, this may shock you but Primate Ayodele loves President Bola Ahmed Tinubu so much. It’s difficult to believe because he was one of those who stood against this government during election period due to all what God showed him and are happening presently but truth is he loves Tinubu. He advised him to take care of his health before thinking about becoming president and some months after this statement, Tinubu was flown out of the country for more than three months for medical purposes. You would notice that since Tinubu won the election, Primate Ayodele has been offering solutions to economic problems all because he loves the president. Although, his stance against Muslim-Muslim presidency remains valid, Primate Ayodele will always stand by what is right at all times but regardless, he loves the president of Nigeria.

There’s more to Primate Ayodele than meets the eye, but to keep it brief, I’ll conclude here. And by the way, Primate Ayodele’s birthday is today, Wednesday, 14th of February 2024. Please, wish him well.

General Buratai Urges Dangote Not To Succumb To Marketers Blackmail, Reveals Why

General Buratai Urges Dangote Not To Succumb To Marketers Blackmail, Reveals Why

 

Former Chief of Army Staff and erstwhile envoy of Nigeria to the Republic of Benin, Lt. General TY Buratai Rtd (CFR) has lent his voice to the lingering issues between Dangote Refinery and petroleum marketers in Nigeria. The decorated General urged Dangote, not to succumb to the marketers blackmail.

General Buratai Urges Dangote Not To Succumb To Marketers Blackmail, Reveals Why
In an exclusive chat with some journalists on his opinion over the imbroglio between the two gladiators, he raised a fundamental question as regards who is blackmailing Dangote?

According to Buratai, Dangote refinery can not operate outside the global oil system. Just because it refines locally and gets its crude in Naira is not a reason to sell it cheaper. He stated that the government must susidise because it is making a profit. However, the question of subsidy is very sensitive now. But when subsidy is reintroduced, it should be only for locally refined products. At the same time, our borders must be closed for all smugglers, especially in petroleum products.

“Our borders are porous, and high-level smuggling is witnessed in every sphere. Dangote must find markets elsewhere to be able to maintain its operations. It is good news that Ghana and other African countries are approaching Dangote to buy his products.

 

“If Dangote refinery sells its product cheaper, be rest assured the products will be massively smuggled. The petroleum marketers are not sincere. They want cheap Dangote products to be able to smuggle them outside our shores. In this case, both Nigerians and Dangote will be the losers.”

 

Continuing, Buratai believed that “Unless all our borders are properly manned and all the smuggling routes are blocked, then the government subsidy will work for our benefits”

“Dangote should not succumb to the marketers’ blackmail”, he concluded.

 

It would be recalled that the row between Dangote Refinery and petroleum marketers in Nigeria has taken a new dimension following the comment by the President of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote that petroleum marketers were not approaching his refinery for purchase of petroleum products.

There has been an uneasy calm since the roll-out of premium motor spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, from the Dangote Refinery in September. Their were discordant tunes between the management and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and other petroleum marketers.

Dangote refinery has disclosed the price of its petrol, revealing that it sells petrol at N960 per litre for ships and maintains a price of N990 per litre for trucks.

The statement follows claims from the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) and the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) that they can import fuel at cheaper rates than Dangote’s.

In an earlier interview, the marketers alleged they were buying fuel more affordably from abroad and called on Dangote Refinery to collaborate with stakeholders.

In response, the refinery argued that only substandard products could be obtained at prices lower than its own.

Ambassador Kingibe, who gave the commendation while chairing the 2024 Young Adult Literature Prize Award Ceremony organized by the TY Buratai Literary Initiative (TYBLI), praised Buratai’s dedication to nurturing young talent.

 

Remembering his years in the military, Ambassador Kingibe recalled the massive research-based transformation the Army witnessed during his administration as Army Chief, as well as the capacity and intellectual development of both officers and soldiers.

 

Ambassador Kingibe underscored the enduring power of literature as the foundation for effective communication, despite technological advancements. “Technology cannot erode the power of the written word,” he said, pledging his partnership in TYBLI’s next edition to continue nurturing young talent in Nigeria.

 

In his remarks, the Chief Host former Chief of Army Staff, and former Nigerian Ambassador to the Republic of Benin, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai (Rtd), emphasized the importance of writing in personal development, communication, and leadership. “Writing is very important in developing one’s knowledge, vision, and ability to communicate,” he stated.

 

“Leaders must express themselves, and for you to express yourself very well, you must write.”

Reflecting on his own experience as a member of literary and drama clubs during his school years, Buratai emphasized the importance of writing for personal development, communication, and leadership. “Leaders must express themselves, and for you to express yourself very well, you must write. If you don’t document what you have in mind, you may tend to forget it. But once you document it, it opens opportunities to benefit society,” he added.

 

He expressed gratitude to participants, supporters, and partners, including Hajiya Hauwa Aliyu and the British Council. Buratai also hinted at plans to increase prize money and potentially offer scholarships to winners pursuing secondary or higher education.

 

The event, held at the Tukur Buratai Research Centre in Gora, Nasarawa State, saw zonal winners from Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones receive N250,000 each, while overall winner Taofeek Olatunbosun took home N1 million.

 

Taofeek Olatunbosun, the event’s star, thanked TYBLI and Ambassador Buratai for the honor. He promised to serve as a worthy ambassador for the initiative, committed to honing his writing skills and inspiring others in the literary community.

 

The TY Buratai Literary Initiative seeks to develop Nigeria’s youth into leaders by encouraging them to engage in writing, critical thinking, and self-expression. This aligns with the importance of critical thinking in leadership development, as it enables leaders to understand the impact of their decisions on the business as a whole and ensures alignment with organizational goals and accountability for results.

How Primate Ayodele Gave Deceased Actor ‘Agbako’ N100K Monthly Till His Death

*How Primate Ayodele Gave Deceased Actor ‘Agbako’ N100K Monthly Till His Death

 

 

In as much as veteran actor, Charles Olumo popularly known as Agbako died at a very old age yesterday, Primate Ayodele is one of those who are not happy that the thespian who graced our screen for decades is no more.

The Nigerian prophet who leads the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has always shown his love for Nollywood practitioners, and this is evident in his several addresses to them. He invites them to his church programmes, supports them financially, prays for them, and seeks more support for them.

Due to his love for Nollywood and respect for the industry’s veterans, Primate Ayodele decided to offer the oldest actor, Charles Olumo, who died yesterday, a lifetime salary of N100,000 monthly starting in July 2023.

The prophet made this announcement at an event held by the Nollywood body TAMPAN to celebrate Charles Olumo’s 100th birthday in Abeokuta. At the event, the Nollywood body also made Primate Ayodele its life patron.

At the event, Primate Ayodele instantly gave the veteran a cheque of N500,000 and promised to place him on a monthly salary of N100,000 till his maker calls him home. Asides that, Primate Ayodele called on the Nollywood body to organize a foundation that would cater for old veterans where he would be able to support them financially.

These were his words:

“I appreciate this group for recognizing me, state national and president. I appreciate your service to the country. I appreciate this group for recognizing me, the state national, and the president. I appreciate your service to the country.

“By God’s grace, I will donate the sum of N500,000 to veteran actor, Charles Oluomo and place him on a monthly salary of 100k till his maker calls him home. Also, I will donate N500,000 to the association for this laudable event.

“I want you to come up with a foundation for the old veterans in the industry and include me in it. They don’t have to become beggars before they feed. This foundation will be responsible for their well-being and God’s willing, I will contribute my quota to it.’’

Primate Ayodele’s announcement to place the veteran actor on salary is what others do too but fulfilling the promise is what they fail to do. Many times, this kind of announcement ends immediately when the microphone is dropped but for Primate Ayodele, he ensured the actor gets what he promised him every month since he made the announcement.

May the soul of Charles Olumo rest in perfect peace.
