…Gives shocking revelations on economy, minimum wage, Tinubu, Kanu, others in new prophecies
By Olakunle Olafioye
Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele of Inri Evangelical Spiritual Church has foretold that the current hardship in the country could snowball into a major crisis in the New Year with a call on Nigerians to seek the face of God in the first week of the year in order to avert a more troubling situation.
The revelation is contained in the latest edition of his yearly prophetic compendium: “Warnings to the Nations: A Compilation of Divine Messages for Year 2025 and Beyond”, which was launched in Lagos on Friday.
Ayodele admonished Nigerians to brace up for a hard start in the New Year saying: “I foresee that at the beginning of the year 2025, Nigeria will experience lots of ups and downs. The year will start with confusion here and there even as people will be complaining. The spirit of God says Nigerians must fast, pray and seek the face of God in the first seven days of the new year because of five major things. The spirit of the Lord revealed to me that things will be difficult even as the economy will be sluggish.”
The popular seer predicted that the hardship in the country would lead to a major crisis with the impact felt in every part of the country.
“Hunger will cause pandemonium in the country. The hardship will be so severe that the impact will be felt in the nooks and crannies of the country. Things are going to be tough if the government does not proffer solutions in time because many formulas applied will not yield the expected result unless the government retraces its steps.”
Speaking of insecurity, the Lagos-based man of God tasked security agencies in the country to be vigilant especially in Zamfara, Yobe and the FCT.
“These states: Zamfara, Yobe and the Federal Capital Territory Abuja must be careful and watchful so as not to experience the criminal activities of suicide bombers in Nigeria. Nigerians must be careful and prayerful so that the country will not begin to have political tension in the build up towards 2027 polls.
“I foresee that on kidnappings and money ritual, the police will do its best to curb the increasing tide of kidnapping and money ritual in the country,” he said.
Primate Ayodele also revealed that the proposed tax reform would throw up a lot of dust saying, “I foresee that this reform will not be executed as expected. There will be different sides to it. Some groups will want it to see the light of the day, while some will not allow it. There will be division of interests in the Senate and House of Representatives on the reforms.
“The spirit of God says the tax reform agenda will make things very difficult as people will kick against it. I foresee some politicians will want to kill this reform. I foresee that the tax reform will make Nigeria better, but the corruption in the system will create setbacks. The government must redesign the system and do more re-orientation.”
The popular seer also revealed that the clamour by secessionist groups for self-determination would heighten in the coming year, but predicted that the agitation would amount to naught.
His words: “As revealed by the spirit of the Lord, there will be many individuals and groups coming from the Yoruba and Igbo tribes that will be clamouring for self -determination for their geo-political zones. They will come up to challenge the present political system.
“I foresee that they will not succeed for neither the Biafra agitators nor the Yoruba Nation promoters will be able to break Nigeria for now. They will be making a lot of moves in 2025 but the government will clamp down on them. In addition to this, I foresee the emergence of another group claiming that they want to stand alone, but this will not work.
“I foresee that the people from the Arewa zone will make a lot of serious agitations concerning the northern region being isolated or marginalized by Tinubu’s government. I foresee that the region will express its disappointment and accuse President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of tribalism and nepotism. There will be division among the northerners on whether to support Tinubu for 2027.
“Also, I foresee that the Igbo people will be divided and some will be calling Tinubu all sorts of names. To triumph over all these challenges and fallouts, Nigeria should seek for peace, seek the face of God and be a united nation so says the Lord.”
He revealed that the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, would breathe air of freedom, but maintained that the realization of the Biafra nation was beyond his reach.
“The spirit of God says Nnamdi kanu will be released by negotiation and not by legalistic means,” Ayodele foretold.
On politics, Primate Ayodele said Anambra State governor, Chukwuma Soludo would retain his seat.
“The 2025 Anambra gubernatorial election will take a different dimension as I foresee no opposition candidate that can trouble the incumbent. The governor will still retain the seat. The coming election in Anambra State, give it to Soludo. If there is an election today in Anambra, give it to Soludo, he will emerge the winner,” he said.
The man of God also foretold a major disagreement between the President and the FCT Minister, saying “I foresee that Tinubu will be forced to dump Wike as Wike will put in efforts in order to keep up. Wike and Tinubu will have disagreements. Wike sincere efforts will be truncated. If Wike does not strategize properly, I foresee that Sim Fubara will win the 2027 gubernatorial election in Rivers State.
“Except the election is rigged or it turns violent, but on a free and fair, Wike candidate will lose. I foresee that APC will be angry with Wike and they will want him gone at all costs. They will frustrate him, but he will strategize to stay relevant in the government.”
Ayodele also revealed that the inability of some state governors to pay the new minimum wage would result in problems in those states.
“I foresee that the new minimum wage will cause a lot of problems because some states will not be able to pay as at when due and this will cause workers’ strike,” he declared.
