The Presidential election of Sierra Leone was held last weekend with the incumbent, President Julius Maada Bio retaining his seat. He slightly escaped a run-off as he got 56% of the votes to defeat his closest rival, Samura Kamara of the APC who got 41% of the total votes. According to the rules that govern the electoral process in the country, a candidate must have 55% of the votes if not, a run-off will be declared. Fortunately, President Bio was able to get 56%. Even though President Bio has been sworn in immediately he was declared winner, the election outcome has been marred by critics who feel it wasn’t free and fair. Some quarters believe there was a kind of subjugation following an attack on Samura Kamara and his party members at their headquarters on Sunday. All of these developments only exude the prophetic prowess of prominent Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele who had released several prophetic warnings to President Julius Maada Bio. The prophet in his prophecies made...

In the early hours of Saturday, the leader of a private military company –Wagner Group operating in Russia and fighting alongside the country against Ukraine embarked on a mission that can be best described as a coup attempt. He declared the war with Ukraine as unjust and expressed his plans to topple the government of Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin. His announcement to relegate Putin shook the world, especially for the fact that he controls sensitive sections of Russia’s military system. The move by Wagner’s group leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin was indeed a palace coup attempt. On account of the present situation in Russia, it seems as if the Wagner group’s chief is carrying out a prophetic script as a result of President Putin’s choice to ignore warnings from Primate Elijah Ayodele, a renowned man of God from Nigeria. Since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia happened, Primate Ayodele is one man of God that has continued to warn President Putin to stop the war because he will not win it...

These issues of ethnicity, tribalism and regionalism will not help us in Nigeria. What we ...

Indeed, Heaven and earth may pass away but none of God’s word will return to Him void. Likewise, the words of true prophets may take years or months to be fulfilled but one thing is sure, they will always come to pass because prophets are God’s messengers, they speak according to what God revealed to them and how can a true prophet be known? When he says and it comes to pass. The sudden suspension of EFCC chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa may be a surprise to many but it has been long foretold by Primate Elijah Ayodele in 2021, the year he was appointed to lead the commission. When prophets warn people, it’s so unfortunate that many of them don’t listen and they always end up paying heavily for it. Abdulrasheed Bawa has sadly found himself in the category of people who ignore prophetic warnings because if he listened, he would have definitely averted the embarrassment he is currently enmeshed in. Primate Ayodele who also foretold the suspension of former EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu made it k...
