Founder and spiritual head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Ejigbo, Lagos, Primate Elijah Ayodele, on Saturday, prescribed a chilling combination of therapies for the myriads of problems plaguing Nigeria.
He said two things must occur for the country to stand strong in the comity of nations, and for her citizens to stop suffering: true federalism and disintegration.
The prophet, who is fast becoming the Nostradamus of Nigeria for his precise predictions, made the declaration at the presentation of his book of prophecies, titled: Warning to the Nations for 2018/2019 and beyond. The book is a collection of prophecies about countries, individuals, institutions, situations, among others, in the current year and years to come.
Primate Ayodele said his prescription for the nation’s problems should not be treated with levity because, according to him, “God gave them to me”.
“We are the problems of ourselves, it is not the government,” he said. “Buhari is not the problem, politicians are not the problem, it is we (the people), because we are not ready for change.
“One of the greatest solutions that will help this country is, one: true federalism, whereby states will be on their own, take care of their resources; two, it is to break. These are the two solutions that God gave to me. Government might like it, they might not like it.
“I have not seen anyone who can rule Nigeria better, except when we break. Apart from this, this democracy is going to give us a lot of problems-resource control, power sharing.”
The seer didn’t stop there. He shocked his audience when he affirmed confidently that should things continue the way are, the country will not last 2035. He stressed that though Nigeria will eventually cease to exist as a component before the said date, “it will be a peaceful disintegration”.
In the new book, the prophet noted that President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid will be dicey and the 2019 general elections will be faced with many challenges, especially from desperate politicians.
