It’s rare to see the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele in public spaces; be it church programmes or social gatherings. In his over three decades of operating in the prophetic realm, the outings that this enigmatic man of God has attended can be counted on fingers.

His decision not to attend outings isn’t borne out of pride or class. It is a result of divine instruction given to him by God due to the unique ministry placed in his hands but whenever Primate Ayodele steps out, one would have no choice but to acknowledge the grandiose, presence, the aura he possesses.

From his attire, which is always all-white including his shoes and hat, to the captivating smile he carries, to his elegant steps, and the highly spiritual people he moves around with, you would know it’s not business as usual when Primate Ayodele steps out.

This rare presence was experienced by the over 10,000 audience that attended Judah Mega Praise in Ibadan on Friday, 31st of January, 2025. The programme is organized annually by popular musician, Dr. Yinka Ayefele to precede his birthday which comes up on every 1st of February.

Primate Ayodele’s arrival at Judah Mega Praise was received with loud cheers from the crowd who have been hearing about him on broadcast, print and digital media. Many who have always wondered how the prophet looks had the opportunity to see him in person at Judah Mega Praise.

As he moved into the stadium where the programme was held, the convener, Dr. Yinka Ayefele who is also an ardent follower of Primate Ayodele rushed to welcome him with one of his children. Right there, he appreciated the prophet for gracing his event bearing in mind that he isn’t one who attends every gathering he is invited to.

As if that wasn’t enough, his entrance into the main auditorium was met by salutations as the man of God respectfully exchanged pleasantries with everyone he met on his way till he got to the seat that had been prepared for him. This also includes paying homage to musical legends and God’s generals like Chief Ebenezer Obey, Evangelist Joseph Adebayo Adelakun (Ayewa Music), and several others.

Alas, it was time for Primate Ayodele to perform the duty he was invited for – Praying for the celebrate, Dr. Yinka Ayefele alongside other anointed men of God including the General evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church, Prophet Hezekiah Oladeji. When the microphone was passed to him, Primate Ayodele prayed briefly for the celebrant and convener who was passionately responding with ‘Amen.”

In summary, It was indeed a great and powerful event that had the greatest men of God especially Primate Ayodele who added a ‘spiritual steeze’ to the programme.

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has visited the Assistant inspector general of police Zone 2, Adegoke Fayoade, the Lagos state commissioner of police, Ishola Olanrewaju, and several police stations in commemoration of his annual thanksgiving programs.

The 2025 Thanksgiving tagged ’21 Days of Appreciation’ began on Sunday, 26th of January 2025 with an award ceremony organized for church members after which he visited members in their homes on Monday.

Wednesday, which marked the fourth day of appreciation featured visits to these distinguished personalities mentioned above.

During his visit, Primate Ayodele appreciated the gallant officers for their efforts to maintain peace and orderliness in the society. He commended them for being the reason behind the peace experienced across Lagos state.

Most especially in tackling armed robbery and cultism, Primate Ayodele commended the police officers for drastically reducing the menace across the state with their unrelenting efforts to provide security for the people.

For the AIG Zone 2, Primate Ayodele lauded him for his achievements within a short period.

“Indeed, we are blessed in Lagos state to have these gallant police officers in charge of providing security for the good people of the state. Lagos has been experiencing peace because of our experienced officers and we are grateful to God for blessing us with them”

“The AIG Zone 2 has proven to be a role model for many, his success, within a short period of time, is mind-blowing and this just further expresses the blessings God has bestowed upon us in Lagos”

In his reaction, the Lagos commissioner of Police appreciated Primate Ayodele for always praying for the success of the police.

Continuing, Primate Ayodele prayed with the police officers for God’s protection while urging them to keep up the good work they have been doing. Also, he shared a short exhortation with the police officers.

Max Air, a Nigerian airline, suffered an unfortunate incident that would have led to a nationwide disaster.

About 53 passengers escaped death on Tuesday night after the Max Air plane they boarded from Lagos to Kano experienced a tyre burst late on landing at the Mallam Aminu International Airport.

The Max Air aircraft with the registration number: 5N-MBD suffered the tyre burst on landing at 22:57pm, the Punch newspaper reported, quoting one of the passengers on board the aircraft.

However, all the passengers on the aircraft that departed from Murtala Muhammed Muhammed Airport in Lagos for Kano were evacuated safely from the aircraft without any injuries.

This incident fulfilled the prophecy of Primate Ayodele contained in his annual prophecy book titled warnings to the nations (2024/2025) edition. He had warned that the airline will want to do great things but they will have unforeseen issues.

He made it known that the airline will have smooth landing challenges and this was what exactly what happened when the airline’s aircraft suffered a tyre burst during landing yesterday.

“MAX AIR: I foresee the airline will want to do great things but they will not be able due to unforeseen issues. I foresee the quality of their services will be queried. I foresee delays in the operations namely take- off and landing time crisis. I foresee the pilots will be having smooth landing challenges.”

Following the incident, The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has directed the suspension of Max Air domestic flight operations for three months with effect from midnight of Jan. 31.

The NCAA Director of Consumer Protection and Public Affairs, Mr Michael Achimugu, made this known in a statement on Wednesday.

Achimugo said that the suspension was a result of an incident involving Max Air B734 aircraft with registration marks 5N-MBD while landing at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, on Tuesday.

In Primate Ayodele’s prophecy, he made it known that the quality of Air Max’s operations will be queried. No doubt, this suspension is to query to quality of services rendered by the airline, as revealed by NCAA.

This incident has added to the growing list of Primate Ayodele’s prophecies especially in the aviation sector. The near-death experience that occurred with United Airline last week that forced the US-bound aircraft to return to Lagos, was foretold by Primate Ayodele in his prophecy book.
