Even if people continue to criticize Primate Ayodele from January to December, those who celebrate him on a daily basis will continue to increase because God has blessed him beyond human understanding.

I doubt if there is anyone in Nigeria who releases voluminous prophecies at least two times in a year and records massive fulfilment of the prophecies almost immediately after release.

It’s a rare grace that people would love to enjoy, but God has decided to anoint Primate Ayodele for that purpose, and this is why you will hardly see him struggle for attention or try to place himself in the same position as other men of God; he doesn’t really care because what God has given him is more than enough.

On Saturday, the 20th of December, 2025, he released his prophecies for 2026 in a 146-page booklet and to the glory of God, nothing less than 50 prophecies have been fulfilled already, yet we are still in January.

In the last few days, there were some other prophecies that got fulfilled in addition to the already fulfilled ones.

1 Mozambique: Mozambique’s death toll from weeks of torrential rains and flooding rose to at least 112 on Wednesday as officials warned of possible disease outbreaks in overcrowded shelters housing tens of thousands of displaced people.

The National Disasters Management Institute (INGD) said more than 645,000 people have been affected since the start of the rainy season, with 91,310 currently sheltering in 68 active accommodation centres.

Primate Ayodele in his prophecy booklet, accurately foretold that there would be a deadly flood in Mozambique.

These were his words:

“Mozambique: The country will mourn on account of the death of several people, who will occur, they need to seek the face of God so that they do not to see any problems at all.”

2. Nigerian Army: A suicide car bomber has rammed into a military convoy in the Timbuktu triangle in Borno State, killing five soldiers and injuring unspecified number of troops.

Security sources confirmed to Daily Trust that two senior military officers – a major and a lieutenant – were affected.

“The attack also caused significant damage to military equipment used for offensive and defensive operations in the weeks-long clearance operations,” one of the soldiers said.

In his prophecy book, Primate Ayodele warned that in 2026, the military must be careful of ambush.

“I foresee that the Nigerian army will be equipped with the required modern and advanced weaponry. Let them be careful and watchful so the army personells will not be kidnapped. They must pray against ambush and attacks on military convoys.”

3. South Africa: South Africa has declared ongoing floods a national disaster as the country confronts the aftermath of weeks of torrential rain that has killed at least 30 people, displaced communities and caused extensive damage to homes, roads and public infrastructure.

The announcement, issued by the National Disaster Management Centre and confirmed by the government on Sunday, enables national authorities to coordinate emergency operations across multiple provinces hit by severe weather.

In his 2026 prophecies, Primate Ayodele stated that there will be natural disasters in the country.

“SOUTH AFRICA: The country must be careful and should pray against bloodbath and accidents that will cause the country to be troubled. There will be a miner accident even as the government curbs illegal mining activities. They will repatriate foreigners as the economy of South Africa will be frustrated. Their communication tariff will increase. Must pray some of the leaders will not be call for corruption. There will be inflation as I foresee higher tariffs. There will be natural disasters, killings even as shootings will be rampant in the country.”

The TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) – Africa’s premier international football tournament – is reaching its climax, and the eyes of the entire soccer world are fixed on millions of streams and broadcasts coming out of Morocco. AFCON is a celebration of footballing talent, passion and African continental unity, and has had fans enthralled since it kicked off on 21 December 2025 in Rabat. The biggest show in African football – the 35th AFCON – culminates in the final on 18 January, also in Rabat.The tournament has attracted a global audience across 180 territories, and is set to exceed the record-breaking 2023 AFCON in Côte d’Ivoire, which drew 1.5 billion viewers from around the planet. However, that popularity makes the event a prime target for content-piracy syndicates.These criminal networks rob football of the income that legitimate broadcasters and rightsholders contribute to the development of the game. Watching pirate AFCON streams is stealing from the sport you claim to love. It is the responsibility of all true fans to kick piracy into touch. Learn to identify pirate content – then avoid it and report it.Piracy commits a foul against the beautiful game. Here are some tips on identifying pirate streams.You’re asked to use a VPNA virtual private network, or VPN, encrypts your internet connection, so you become an anonymous user. It has legitimate uses, but pirate websites such as torrenting sites get users to employ VPNs to avoid detection by law enforcement. Most legal streaming sites don’t require a VPN, so it can be a sign of pirate content.Free content Showing AFCON for free is another red flag. Only state broadcasters and legitimate streaming platforms have the resources to acquire the AFCON rights. Any other site streaming AFCON for free has probably stolen the content. In Africa, SuperSport has the rights to show AFCON across English- and Portuguese-speaking Sub-Saharan African territories.Lame site designIn the same way that a football team that doesn’t have a proper match strip is probably not very good, a poorly designed website is a sign of pirate content. If the site looks like something from the 1990s with flashing graphics, garish colours, spelling errors and lame fonts, get out of there! A legal site will have consistent brand design, customer support and paid subscription offers. Visit dstv.com to find out how to stream AFCON legally. Neverending linksIt’s like being forced to retake a penalty 25 times! You open a site that supposedly offers free streaming, and you get faced with a pop-up link to another site, which features another pop-up and another site. This may or may not lead to free streaming, but the feed is almost definitely pirated, and you’re leaving yourself open to hacking, viruses, malware and other cyber-risks.Copyright disclaimers Pirate sites may feature pop-ups or an About section claiming that they “do not condone the illegal sharing of copyrighted material.” This is just a formality, and an attempt to wash their hands of their own content piracy. Pirate streams place the platform and the viewers at risk of arrest, fines and other penalties.No app-based streamingLegal streaming platforms like DStv Stream will ask users to download a mobile app from Apple, Google or another respected app store. If you can only stream straight from a website, or through an obscure app site, you may be using pirated content and cheating the sport you love. Pirated sports streams are a form of stealing. They rob rightsholders of the income that is paid towards CAF for the growth and development of football. Piracy undermines Africa’s most-loved sport. If you see any of the signs above on your AFCON stream, report the site to Partners Against Piracy at +27 11 289 2684 or piracy@multichoice.co.za.
