Primate Ayodele’s prophecies: Where was Lookman when Nigeria needed help?

By Paul Ade

I want to use this opportunity to ask Nigerians: where was Ademola Lookman at the critical moment when Nigeria needed help?

This question has become germane, considering the volume of reactions generated when the only true prophet of God in Nigeria, Primate Elijah Ayodele, mentioned this same player in his prophecy regarding the Super Eagles’ participation in Morocco.

Anyway, we know those who hate Ayodele’s prophecies, and we also know why they are his enemies. This is because whenever Ayodele does not speak their mind, they accuse him of being negative.
But for those who may not know, this is the same prophet who said Nigeria would not qualify for the World Cup.

He called the attention of Nigerians to the lapses in the team, but instead of listening patiently, people resorted to cursing, abusing, and using hateful words.

They began to speak in empty jargon.
If we take time to reason together, what was he merely saying? He was asking what Nigeria could do to avert the bad luck that this coach had brought upon the team—nothing more.

To the extent that even those who call themselves pastors, simply because they are not prophetic, also made jest of Ayodele’s prophecies. Even a police officer, who was supposed to be busy with his official duties, was instead creating excitement around prophecies.

Ironically, it is these same people who have helped make this man more popular.
People did not reason with his prophecies, but now that events have unfolded, tell me—how did his prophecy fail?

Meanwhile, there were many Nigerians loudly proclaiming that Nigeria would win. They called themselves prophets, yet nobody is holding them accountable today.

This man, however, quietly spoke in very simple language: there would be bad luck, Nigeria would pass the elimination series, and issues would arise involving Lookman. Now, has Lookman truly helped the team?

Forget about first-team or second-team arguments. These were not difficult opponents. When we talk about help, we mean delivering at the most critical moment.

Nigeria was in a critical situation, but Lookman was nowhere to be found. He did not shine, and neither did the other players mentioned. None of them rose to the occasion.

We must be careful about how we speak about prophets—especially God-anointed prophets like Primate Elijah Ayodele.

Nigeria was supposed to win, but Nigeria caused its own failure.
