Primate Ayodele: A Priest Or Political Analyst? His 8 Prophecies That Failed Emerge

By Thomas Emmanuel

Prophets hold a significant position in society due to their spiritual ability to foresee future events.

Their insights, interpretations, and revelations are regarded as sacred owing to the considerable potential for accurate realization.

When prophecies frequently fail to come to fruition as initially promised, they may be more accurately described as disingenuous assertions or “commercial prophecies.”

Given the persistent inaccuracy in predicting political outcomes, one must critically assess whether the predictions made by Primate Babatunde Ayodele genuinely stem from divine inspiration or if they merely represent a reinterpretation of current political discourse.

On several occasions, his forecasts seem to align closely with insights typically offered by seasoned political analysts and party insiders, which raises doubts about their authenticity.

His prophecies have undeniably garnered him a large following among churchgoers, leading to an intriguing inquiry: does the divine grant him daily insights, or is he merely a political cleric whose fervor for the altar overshadows a desire for political influence?

Remarkably, he has missed the mark in more than ten notable predictions, with one of the most absurd miscalculations being his forecast about a football match: he confidently asserted that Liverpool would triumph over Luton Town, only for the match to remain unresolved well before the final whistle blew, exposing the flaw in his prediction.

One of Ayodele’s recent high-profile predictions came just before the U.S. Presidential election. On 29th September, less than two months before Americans went to the polls, he issued a bold prophecy, stating that Vice President Kamala Harris would emerge victorious.

Through a statement released by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin Ayodele asserted that the 2024 U.S. election would mirror some of the controversies seen in African elections, including vote-buying and intimidation tactics.

‘The American election will be very tough and will take another dimension,” Ayodele declared. “They will play the kind of politics we see in Africa; there will be vote-buying, intimidations, and things that haven’t happened before will begin to take place.”

He went further, confidently predicting that if the election took place, “Trump will not win, he will lose. Kamala Harris will shock the world, her policies will be better than Trump’s. Trump will be another disaster for the world, and if there is an election today, he will fail.”

Ayodele also warned that if Trump lost, he might attempt to incite protests and unrest in the United States, saying, “He must be careful.”

However, the reality of the election unfolded quite differently. Contrary to Ayodele’s prophecy, Donald Trump clinched a decisive victory, leaving many to wonder if Ayodele’s declaration had ever been divinely inspired. With such a glaring misstep, it becomes evident that Ayodele’s prediction was far from accurate. This significant blunder brings into question the nature and origin of his so-called prophecies.

Did God truly reveal the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election to Ayodele? The answer appears to be a resounding ‘no.’ Instead, Ayodele’s prediction seems to fit the warning outlined in Deuteronomy. This was not a revelation from above but rather the words of a prophet speaking presumptuously, casting doubt upon his self- proclaimed divine insight

Below are eight failed prophecies he had made among several others

1. Kamala Harris not Donald Trump would win US election in 2024

Trump will not win, he will lose. Kamala Harris will shock the world, her policies will be better than Trump’s. Trump will be another disaster for the world, and if there is an election today, he will fail.”

RESULT: Contrary to Ayodele’s prophecy, Donald Trump clinched a decisive victory

2. Anti-corruption war will backfire

Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele said that Nigerians should not expect President Muhammadu Buhari to achieve much in the anti-corruption war.

RESULT: The anti-corruption body EFCC have been more active under Buhari’s administration, with with many prominent Nigerians and leaders currently investigated for collecting huge sums of money from the Office of the ex-National Security Adviser , Sambo Dasuki.

3. Liverpool will beat Luton more than two goals

He said: “Liverpool will beat Luton very well. Liverpool will beat them with more than two goals.”

RESULT: Liverpool struggled and required a last-minute goal to secure a 1-1 draw with Luton. Despite having 23 attempts at goal, Liverpool failed to convert many of their chances.

4. Glory of Lagos APC fading

“The glory of Lagos APC is fading except the party hierarchy makes hasty restitution otherwise time is not on their side as regards the governorship election. They have committed a blunder with the choice of Akinwunmi Ambode as governorship candidate. Only prayer can change the tide.

RESULT: The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode was declared the winner of the April 11 election.

5. Ebola will come back

The prophet asked Nigerians to pray against recurrence of Ebola in Nigeria in the year, saying there will be fresh cases of Ebola in the year while calling on those in the health sector to double their efforts.

RESULT: Since the WHO’s representative in Nigeria officially declared Nigeria to be Ebola free on 20 October 2014, Nigeria remained free from the epidemic.

6. Boko Haram will bomb South-west

“I see flames from bombings in several parts of the country, including the South-West and more abduction of school pupils

RESULT: The Islamist sect is yet to carryout any attack in South-west, Nigeria

In January 2013, he predicted that God showed him Jonathan would continue to rule till 2019.

RESULT: Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan was defeated and he also made a phone call to congratulate President Buhari even before the final results were announced.

8. Jega will let Nigerians down

‘I predicted that (former Independent National Electoral Commission chairman, Prof Maurice) Iwu will be removed and it came to pass. Let me tell you categorically that (Prof Attahiru) Jega does not have a solution to election rigging in Nigeria. Jega will disappoint Nigerians’

RESULT: The direct opposite happened, Prof. Attahiru Jega performed exceptionally well and conducted one of the most credible election in the history of the country.
