The New Year Prophesies by all kinds of “Men of God” have become a ritual. Not many people take them seriously. Many find them laughable, for indeed, when most of the prophesies are analysed, they are empty. Even childish. A product of guess work. Yet, they never fail to push them into the media, and a few politicians never fail to take them seriously, especially if such prophesies are political in nature, and favour them, and, more especially, if they are against their political opponents.
Some of the “Men of God” prophesy everyday. Their prophesies come ridiculously quick.
The most prominent in this group is Primate Elijah Ayodele, Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church. Hardly any week passes without Ayodele seeing one thing or the other. His visions are usually controversial. He enjoys being in the news, and, it doesn’t matter whether such visions or prophesies come true or not.
Yet, his most controversial came on New Year’s Day.
In one of the prophesies he just released, he descended on Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma.
A first term Governor, Primate Ayodele asked the Governor not to border to waste money and time running for a second term. He told Uzodinma he would be roundly defeated; that he would be swept out of office by a Coalition which nobody could ignore. Meaning that, according to him, Uzodinma will be a one-term Governor. He dismissed the prophecy, which he claimed brought Uzodinma into office, as not of God. That vision, you recall, was by another controversial Cleric, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministry, Emene, Enugu. At the time of that vision, nobody saw it coming. Nobody believed it. But it came to pass.
It is not the first time Ayodele would be seeing negative visions about Uzodinma’s tenure as a Governor. In 2020, he saw a vision that the Supreme Court, on which ruling Uzodinma came into office, was about to throw him out of office, in a reversal of its earlier ruling.
At the time, nobody reacted to Ayodele’s prophecy. He was ignored. When the attention of one of the aides of the Governor was drawn to it, his quick response was: “If you investigate the prophesies of Ayodele, you will know he is not to be taken seriously.”
But Ayodele’s recent vision stung a number of Governor Uzodinma’s supporters. A number of them have taken him on. One of them alleged he is after the Governor because he, Uzodinma, refused to take him as his Spiritual guide. Another dismissed Ayodele as fake, and totally compromised. One called him “jankara” Prophet. Another said he simply tried to put two and two together, and got the answer four, praying it would come true. “This Prophet Of doom has failed”, he submitted.
Indeed, many dismissed Ayodele’s prophecy as a product of the recent happening in the State. One of them said Ayodele spoke about a coalition because he saw former Governor Emeka Ihedioha, the man who was removed by the Supreme Court in favour of Uzodinma, at the funeral of Uche Nwosu’s mother on December 22, 2020. At the ceremony, both Nwosu, and former Imo State Governor, Senator Rochas Okorocha, his father-in-law, were chummy-chummy with Ihedioha. Hitherto sworn political enemies, Ihedioha was a surprise face at the funeral, provoking speculations of a possible coalition against Uzodinma.
It is in the midst of this speculation, in addition to the ill-advised arrest of Uche Nwosu in the Church on December 26, during an outing service in honour of his late mother, that Ayodele made his prophecy on Uzodinma public.
One of the strongest reactions against Ayodele came from Ikenna Samuelson, a human rights activist. In a write-up, he dismissed Ayodele as a businessman and Bet Naija Prophet.
Samuelson’s reaction is published hereunder.
IMO GUBER 2024 : WHEN A FALSE PROPHET SPEAKS.
PRIMATE ELIJAH AYODELE AND HIS BET-NAIJA PROPHESIES
“It Is no longer news that false Prophets abound everywhere in Nigeria, Perhaps, due to inability to find a decent job. Many of them operate by reading the political barometer of a given system or situation, wrongly. As a result, they have caused more harm than good, If Any, To The System.
“No wonder the Government of Ghana has, in the last few days, given directives on the appropriate punishment to be served “Men Of God” for false prophesies.
“In Nigeria, when businessmen, parading as Prophets fail in their clandestine target of extortion and exploitation of targeted political leader, they follow it up with false prophesies against the Politician.
“My attention has, therefore been drawn to a mischievously sponsored Social Media orophesy by one Primate Elijah Ayodele, who parades himself as the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, a South-west based so-called Church, prophesying that Governor Hope Uzodinma Of Imo State won’t be re-elected in 2023 Governorship Election, warning him not to waste money on campaigns.
The supposed Cleric, also, said there will be a Coalition that would “fight and conquer” Uzodinma in his bid to rule Imo State again.
“Continuing, Primate Elijah Ayodele claimed through his Media Aide, Osho Oluwatosin, that God was not involved in the declaration of Hope Uzodinma as the Governor of Imo State, adding that the prophesy that USHERED him in was A POLITICAL GAME and not from the Heavenly Throne, sescribing Governor Hope Uzodinma As A “Saul” in the State.
“From his 2022 Prophesies on Imo State Affairs, one can rightly see that Elijah Ayodele is just a hustler.
“In the first place, a true Prophet of Almighty God does not prophesy through a Media Aide. A true Prophet speaks as he is directed by the spirit of God. Also, a true Prophet Of Almighty God makes accurate prophesies on issues of concern.
“There will be No Governorship Election In Imo State for 2023, but for 2024. Again, no Coalition has ever “fought and conquered” a sitting Governor in Imo State.
“There was a Coalition against Governor Achike Udenwa in 2003, but he was still re-elected. There was a coalition against Governor Ikedi Ohakim In 2011, but the Coalition (Ifeanyi Araraume, Achike Udenwa And Alex Obi Coalition In ACN ) lost the election. Ikedi Ohakim was defeated by Rochas Okorocha, a non member of the Coalition.
“There was a coalition against Governor Rochas Okorocha’s re-election in 2015, but he was re-elected. There was another coalition against Rochas Okorocha in 2019. Both the Coalition and Okorocha lost out. Rt Honourable Emeka Ihedioha, a non-member of the Coalition was declared Governor, Almost eight (8). months later, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodinma, another non-Member of the Coalition, was eventually declared the properly elected Governor of Imo State.
“I have gone through this memory lane to orove that Coalition against an incumbent Governor in Imo State has no capacity or muscle to effect political vhange. So who is Primate Elijah Ayodele to prophesy on Imo State affairs through a Media Aide?
“Let me at this point declare that this so-called Prophet, Elijah Ayodele has, in the last ten years made uncountable false prophesies in Nigeria, claiming that Almighty God spoke to him. But God is not an author of false prophesies. God is not an author of confusion. When God speaks through a real Prophet, you see it manifest itself. You feel the impact of the message.
“God is not a liar. Real Prophets don’t make prophesies through Media Aides. Prophesies flow naturally from Almighty God to His anointed Prophets.
“Recently, a real Prophet of God in Imo State, Brother Nnamdi Akujor, prophesied that Rt Honourable Barrister Kennedy Chidozie Ibeh would emerge Speaker of Imo State House Of Assembly. About six months later, the prophesy came to pass.
“God’s Word does not return to Him void. This very P
Prophesy was not dade through a Media Aide. It came directly from Brother Nnamdi Akujor, and the message was not ambiguous. It was a clear and direct message from God. The video clip of that prophesy can be goggled. When you watch it, you will feel the impact of the message Of Almighty God.
“Prophet Elijah Ayodele’s BET-NAIJA PROPHESY, described the prophesy that ushered Governor Hope Uzodinma in as a political game. My Question Is : Why did it take this fake Prophet, Elijah Ayodele, two whole years to realise the prophesy that ushered Governor Hope Uzodinma in as Governor was a political game? Since it is a political game, Elijah Ayodele should have lrayed to his “God” to reverse the “political game”.
“The truth is that, having reportedly failed in his clandestine plot to extort money from Governor Hope Uzodinma, ELIJAH AYODELE became frustrated, and in desperate bid to get at the Governor, reached out to political opponents of the Imo State Government, who then, allegedly, bought him over. The resultant effect is his BET-NAIJA prophesy on Governor Hope Uzodinma and the 2023 Governorship election in Imo State (Fake Prophesy).
“He plotted to be Governor Hope Uzodinma’s Spiritual Consultant, but failed, hence he is now dancing provokecatively in the market square with his BET-NAIJA prophesy.
“It Is high time these fake Prophets were dealt with, according to the laws of the land for destabilizing the system through the spreading of fake prophesies.
“Primate Elijah Ayodele should be arrested and charged for his numerous false prophesies of doom in Nigeria. It is obvious he is not called by God. He is just a hustler parading as a prophet, with his BET-NAIJA prophesies.”
