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.
