Victor Osimhen: Primate Ayodele’s Prophetic Influence On The Global Football Industry
While Primate Ayodele has proven beyond reasonable doubt that God is interested in every area of man’s life including things that can be considered as ‘unserious’ like sports, many have always berated him for dragging God’s name into sports because they consider it as an ungodly profession.
Interestingly, Primate Ayodele has always corrected the opinions with his prophecies about sports and how accurately they come to pass. The man of God has made a name in the sports industry to the extent of pundits waiting for his prophecies to stake bets before he warned them to desist from using his divine revelations to play bet.
There are several scenarios of Primate Ayodele’s sports prophecies coming to pass and the latest situation that confirms his influence in the global sports industry is the failed move of Nigeria’s footballer, Victor Osimhen to Chelsea football club from Napoli.
Since the transfer window opened, there have been confirmed talks between the management of Chelsea and Napoli to sign Osimhen to the English side. The talks has no doubt been positive as close sources to the club and player confirmed Osimhen will likely move to Chelsea before the transfer window closes but reports coming from sources close to the player appear to have cancelled the possibility of Osimhen’s move to Chelsea this transfer window.
One of Osimhen’s closest media personality, Pooja Media, who was among the first to break the Osimhen’s transfer news, revealed earlier this morning that Osimhen won’t be moving to Chelsea this transfer window.
‘’ Osimhen IS NOT GOING to Chelsea this transfer window.’’
If this is anything to go by, it’s important to note that this development is happening barely two weeks after Primate Ayodele warned Osimhen not to move to Chelsea. In a video that went viral and shared on global sports platforms, Primate Ayodele revealed that Osimhen’s career will not blossom if he moves to Chelsea.
These were his words
“I want to quickly advise as directly that Osimhen should not go to Chelsea because if he goes there, he will not shine and it will kill his career,”
“NFF, if Osimhen should go to Chelsea, don’t call him again, and also calling him to the Super Eagles still needs to be previewed properly because we have what it takes to the World Cup and Nations Cup.”
With the latest decision on Osimhen’s move to Chelsea, all indications points to the fact that Primate Ayodele’s earlier spiritual guidance has a great influence on the failure to move. The nightmare of any player is to be at a club where he won’t perform well or be irrelevant for his home country, hence, the likely decision not to proceed with the move to Chelsea.
It is not surprising that Osimhen and his team listened to Primate Ayodele’s revelation on his football career, many players, clubs and countries that failed to listen to the man of God continue to regret it.
In the last season, Primate Ayodele advised Chelsea FC to go on a spiritual cleansing because the club will continue to perform woefully no matter the quality of players they have. He called on the club’s owner to seek the blessings of the former owner to have a very good season.
These were his words:
“Chelsea is a finished club. If they are not careful, they will not function again. The people who bought Chelsea should go back to the owner and get his blessings,” he said.
“Otherwise, if they put 10, 20 strikers, defenders, and the best goalkeeper in the world, there is a curse troubling Chelsea at the moment. I have told you to take these words very seriously if you want to progress; otherwise, Chelsea can go to relegation.
“Any team that now faces Chelsea can beat them; they need spiritual cleansing for them to wake up to the challenge that is ahead of them.”
Apparently, the club didn’t follow some of the instructions of the man of God and till now, Chelsea FC is yet to get back on its feet in terms of performances despite signing several players.
Even in the Nigerian football system, Primate Ayodele’s instructions that were ignored have caused unpleasant situations. The most recent of them all was the disgraceful sack of Finidi George as the coach of Nigeria’s super eagles.
Primate Ayodele in a viral video mentioned that the ex-eagles player will be a disaster to Nigeria’s football. He made it known that the choice of Finidi George will put Nigeria’s football in shambles and his administration will not be any good to the country. These revelations were made before Finidi George had any major match and surprisingly, the prophetic revelation of Primate Ayodele came to pass at the very first major outing of Finidi George and this led to his disgraceful resignation, making his administration one of the shortest Nigeria has ever had.
Likewise, the outcome of the last AFCON which Nigeria lost by a chance to Ivory Coast was a fulfillment of Primate Ayodele’s prophecy which he shared long before the competition held.
As of October 2023, while he was talking about the teams that would qualify from their respective groups, Primate Ayodele made it known that Nigeria will go far but they will lose the cup by chance. He described the chance as a very slim and unfortunate one. He reiterated that Nigeria has all it takes to win the cup but he’s scared they will not be able to coordinate themselves in order to lift it therefore; they will miss it by chance.
He said: “Nigeria is supposed to qualify with Ivory Coast from group A and if they listen, Nigeria can go far but the team will lose it by chance. A slim chance will slip off the cup from them so it’s quite unfortunate. I see this as a cheap cup. This tournament is for Nigeria but will they be able to coordinate and do what is needful? That’s the question I couldn’t answer.”
The new development on Osimhen’s transfer process is no doubt another testament of Primate Ayodele’s influence on sport globally.
The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, is set to unveil the 32nd edition of his annual prophecy book, Warnings to the Nations, in July.In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, the cleric expressed gratitude to God for the privilege of publishing another edition of the prophecy book. He described Warnings to the Nations as more than an ordinary publication, saying it is a compilation of God’s mind concerning nations and the world.Primate Ayodele explained that he began publishing the annual prophecy book in 1994 after receiving divine instruction from God, adding that the publication has continued to grow in scope and impact over the past 32 years.Speaking on the contents of the new edition, the prophet revealed that the 32nd edition contains prophetic warnings and messages for nations, presidents, governors, political leaders, and government officials. He added that it also covers several sectors of society, including education, sports, politics, governance, corporate organisations, and individuals, among others.Furthermore, Primate Ayodele stated that more than 22,000 prophecies contained in previous editions have been fulfilled, describing the publication as not merely a literary work but the word of God.”I’m grateful to God that we are still alive and strong in the Lord to compile another edition of Warnings to the Nations. It has been 32 years since we began this assignment, and God has never failed us. May His name be praised forever.”Warnings to the Nations, as many people know, contains God’s mind concerning nations, presidents, governors, political leaders, ministers, individuals, organisations, and many other areas of life. It also covers several sectors, including education, sports, governance, and the corporate world.”It is not just a book or a piece of literature; it is God’s word. I am glad to say that we have recorded over 22,000 fulfilled prophecies from previous editions of Warnings to the Nations. This is a testament to God’s hand upon this publication.”Explaining how the latest edition was compiled, Primate Ayodele disclosed that the process began in March 2026 and involved several months of fasting, prayer, and seclusion to receive divine revelations before documenting them.”It took months of fasting and isolation to receive what God has in mind for His people. This is a deeply spiritual publication that required spiritual preparation from beginning to end.”He also urged those who will receive the prophecy book, especially individuals, organisations, and leaders mentioned in the 32nd edition, to take its contents seriously and heed the warnings contained therein rather than ignore them.
As it has been established in the Holy Bible that nothing happens without God informing his prophets, so has it also been established that virtually nothing serious happens without Primate Elijah Ayodele talking about it before it happens.This is not for self-glorification but to acknowledge the fact that God speaks to Primate Elijah Ayodele every now and then.The bible has also made us understand that a prophet is known when he speaks and it comes to pass; obviously, Primate Ayodele is a typical example of who the biblical prophet is.One of his most recent words that came to pass is the resignation of UK Prime Minister, Kier Starmer, who exited his position a few days ago.Right from the beginning of Kier Starmer’s administration, Primate Ayodele had warned that he would have issues regarding his policies. He stated that forces will influence his government.“The Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, should be focused because he will face so many troubles on the NHS, workers, immigration law and the economy. There are lots of things they will want him to do which he won’t be able to do.“Forces will attempt to influence his government and push him to enact some policies; he must be careful of certain decisions that would be detrimental to his government.”https://theeagleonline.com.ng/primate-ayodele-warns-uk-prime-minister-keir-starmer/Also in April 2026, Primate Ayodele stated that he sees the Prime Minister saying bye-bye to his seat.“UK Prime Minister, I see you saying bye-bye to your seat in the next few months” This happened barely two months after his prophecyhttps://www.tiktok.com/@primateayodele/video/7654145483304226068Likewise, A bomb explosion caused panic on Monday at the Shoe Materials Market in Mushin, Lagos, after an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) reportedly planted under a vehicle in the area went off.The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Mr Fatai Tijani, said the area remains safe and under control after security operatives carried out a full search.Earlier in April, Primate Ayodele mentioned that he foresees multiple bomb blasts in Nigeria and even gave a timeline.“I see multiple bomb blasts from May to July”https://www.tiktok.com/@primateayodele/video/7654647153041657095As he said, the blast happened in June, still within the time frame the prophet warned about.
An attack by armed men on an airport in Niger’s capital has killed 11 soldiers and two civilians, authorities said, five months after a major assault.Twenty-two armed attackers were also killed in the assault, and about 20 suspects were apprehended, the Ministry of Defence added in a news statement read out on national television on Thursday.Soldiers in Niamey fought suspected rebels around the Diori Hamani International Airport and a military airbase on Thursday, sources told Al Jazeera earlier in the day.This unfortunate incident is in fulfilment of the prophecy of popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele, which he shared in his prophecy book released in 2025.The prophet, known for his frequent prophecies about nations, warned the leadership of the Niger Republic to be careful against major attacks. He warned them that rebels will continue to attack the nation, but there will be major ones which the nation will struggle to come out of.On page 65 of the prophecy book, the man of God warned the government of the day to be careful of unpleasant things.These were his words:“NIGER: I foresee the country will be tensed up and must be careful because they will face attacks and counterattacks. They will suffer economic damages. They will enter into bilateral agreements that will be unfavourable. The country must be careful of explosions and fire outbreaks. They must be careful because a lot of things will change in the country that will not be pleasing to the people. There will be a plan to remove the government of the day either through revolution or coup or protest or uprising. These are the revelations from the Lord.”Apart from this, the prophet mentioned it in another prophecy book titled Warnings to the Nations (2025/2026) edition that the Niger Republic will be attacked.These were his words:“NIGER: The spirit of God says the country will have long term political crisis. I foresee the political stability of the country will be shaking. The country will face major crisis and must be careful not to be attacked. The country will operate under a new political dimension and dispensation. The country must be careful of serial killings. There will be new developments in the country. The country will face lots of crisis. The country will take some steps that will not give the country the needed impetus to grow. I foresee the resources will be hijacked by foreign exploiters. I foresee the economic growth will be trouble shooting. There will be gang up against the administration of the country. The country must be watchful against attacks.”Likewise, in his new year prophecy, he made it known that the country will continue to suffer from major attacks.“……Rebels will be attacking the government forces at all times…however, there is going to be a serious attack in the country as the country will continue to struggle to excel so says the Lord”.These prophecies have been fulfilled with the attacks on the Niger Republic, especially the recent one.
