Femi Adesina And His Campaign Of Calumny Against Primate Elijah Ayodele

Published

I was surfing the internet on Thursday night after a stressful day at work and because the federal government has banned Twitter, I had to enjoy my Facebook app which I have made an alternative whenever I want to read or watch funny and educative posts.

I follow several pages on Facebook, most especially those operated by political leaders and appointees, this is due to my love for politics and my never-quenched thirst for information that comes from the seat of power.

One of the pages I have followed consistently over the years is that of Femi Adesina, the President’s special adviser on media and publicity. This is because I see him as an intelligent, factual, and interesting person who serves as a leader to every journalists in Nigeria, I mean, He has reached the peak of his career and people really look up to him. Although in recent times, some have called him names for his view on some issues but I have never for once joined bandwagon because I feel they are not being sincere in their criticisms. However, Thursday night actually confirmed what people have always said, I couldn’t believe my eyes as journalism suddenly went down the drain in the hands of its custodian, Mr Femi Adesina, arguably the most envied journalist in Nigeria at the moment.

Mr Femi Adesina as usual made a long paragraphed post titled ‘Some Prophets See Nothing’ talking about Prophets in Africa. He started by mentioning a man who prophesied the victory of England at the just concluded Euro 2020 cup before moving to the main target of his post, Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church.

Primate Ayodele is a very popular man of God who has made several warnings to power, he is known for his courage and boldness in speaking the truth to power, I quickly focused on the post to see what the highly respected writer has written this time around. Shockingly, Femi Adesina went on by stating some prophecies of Primate Ayodele that didn’t come to pass according to him, continued by saying Primate Ayodele is a very good humanitarian, and ended with advising him to focus on his philanthropic activities and leave the prophetic ministry.

If Femi Adesina was factual with the prophecies he listed as not coming to pass, there wouldn’t have been needing to pay attention but for the sake of excellent journalism, the need to call him to order is highly important.

Let’s take a look at his list of unfulfilled prophecies of Primate Elijah Ayodele which will be quoted below

‘’ Let’s look at all these facts: in the build-up to 2015 presidential elections, Primate Ayodele said Goodluck Jonathan would win. The man lost. He said the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) would take Kaduna by a narrow margin. Nasir el-Rufai of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won. Again, he said Yobe, Gombe, Benue, Delta, and Akwa Ibom States would be won by PDP. The APC won three of those States. Who hit the crossbar? You know the answer.

PDP will shock APC in Lagos. It didn’t happen. Boko Haram would bomb South West. Mercifully, it didn’t happen. APC would break, Buhari won’t do the second term. You know the truth. And in 2017, when the President was on medical vacation abroad for many months, he said the seat was vacant, and the man would never return. You now know who didn’t speak the truth, who didn’t hear from God’’

To start with, Primate Ayodele never said Goodluck Jonathan would win election in 2015, I wonder where Femi Adesina was when Vanguard Newspapers published a detailed story on how what Primate Ayodele said about Goodluck Jonathan’s fate in his second term bid. The man of God started talking about it since 2013 that Goodluck Jonathan’s victory is dicey and that He will not win. (https://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/my-warnings-to-the-nation-have-come-to-pass-primate-ayodele/)

On PDP Shocking Lagos in 2015, it seems Femi Adesina was too busy with campaigning to secure an appointment when PDP nearly took Lagos from APC if not for the intervention of some leaders of the party in a crooked way. PDP won seats in the house of the assembly which was unusual and till date, every political analyst still maintains that PDP was robbed of that election, was that not shocking enough that PDP shook APC’s stronghold?

On the Kaduna Election that Nasir El Rufai won, Primate Ayodele never said PDP would win, He categorically said it will be difficult for PDP to retain the state, and for the other states Femi Adesina mentioned, it would be best for him to make his findings and provide video proof of Primate Ayodele making these statements because as far as I know, the man of God never said this and as a journalist that Femi Adesina is, wouldn’t it have been proper for him to call Primate Ayodele then to confirm if he said all of these? The official statement from the man of God media office is stating a different thing with the record on prestigious media publications. Funny enough, Femi Adesina used to have a personal relationship with Primate Ayodele, he was even at his church to preach at a time, how come he never resorted to hearing directly from the man of God on these prophecies or is this one of his pull him down syndrome tactic against Primate Elijah Ayodele as ordered by his paymasters?

On Buhari’s seat becoming vacant, Primate Ayodele never meant death for President Buhari, infact Primate Ayodele ordered Nigeria to pray for President Buhari’s health when he was away. This was even published on a popular website (https://thewhistler.ng/i-see-nigerian-flag-flown-half-mast-cabal-dethroning-osinbajo-primate-ayodele/)
so we wonder where Femi Adesina got his version from.
Talking about the All progressive congress breaking, if truly Femi Adesina is informed, even the blind man knows APC has broken into pieces, it has not just being admitted publicly. We see the national leader of the party kicking against policies made by the acting national chairman, we saw how this played out during the party’s registration, another crisis is also rocking the party’s national congress which has been shifted twice, how then can we describe this as togetherness?

On Boko Haram bombing South west, that prophecy was just made this year as a warning to awaken the security system of the south west in general, if a man of God has made some revelations or warnings, the fact that it is yet to come to pass doesn’t mean it won’t and why should Femi Adesina expect bombings in South west. Who should go and start praying to God to avert if it not him? It’s unfortunate that everything Femi Adesina mentioned on this post of his are nothing but false. It’s sad that one of the longest serving journalists in Nigeria has given himself out to hearsays and unconfirmed reports to attack a man of God who does nothing but reveal God’s mind and warnings to nations beyond Nigeria and Africa.

The main reason for his post was to talk about the recent prophecy of Primate Ayodele that talked about Nigeria breaking before 2040. Femi Adesina beastly described the prophecy as one that wasn’t heard from God and assured that Nigeria will survive beyond 2040, the question is, How can a man who doesn’t see beyond his nose, a mere man who operates in the physical realm be sure of what will happen in the next minute not to talk of many years to come? A prophet sees things long before they happen, Femi Adesina should not read prophecy like novels or articles. These are very important warnings and instead of praying to God, he is out there attacking Primate Ayodele for speaking God’s mind, may God forgive him.

He also frowned at Primate Ayodele’s negative prophecies, explaining that prophecies are supposed to edify the soul. Maybe we should ask him if he didn’t hear about Prophet Jeremiah’s prophecy to Judah in the bible or Prophet Elijah’s many prophecies that were not palatable. A prophet says what he sees, not for anyone’s edification but for the name of God to be glorified.

Of course, I know for sure that Femi Adesina would never have soiled his reputable journalism career for this cheap campaign of calumny against Primate Ayodele whose tentacles have spread far and wide by God’s grace, he has only sacrificed himself as a tool to shut down every one speaking truth to the power but unfortunately, even if the whole media team, joined by all appointees of the Presidency come together as a force against Primate Ayodele, they will flee in seven ways because no one dares touch God’s project ‘’Touch Not My Anointed And Do My Prophets No Harm’’.

For the record, Primate Elijah Ayodele is the only prophet in Africa to consistently produce an annual book of prophecy titled Warnings To The Nation since 1994. The 27th edition was launched on Saturday, 10th Of July, 2021. He is also the only prophet to have over 10,000 fulfilled prophecies with a compendium published for record purposes. Primate Ayodele isn’t someone that will be easily pulled down by this unprofessional article by Femi Adesina, it can’t even touch the hair on his body but there’s really a need to call Femi Adesina to order before he loses track.

Let’s even talk about the recent fulfilled prophecies of this man of God. Primate Ayodele had warned that He foresees assassination of an African leader, this came to pass in Haiti recently, in the newly released Annual book of prophecy which was compiled from March to June, Primate Ayodele noted that there will be the destruction of lives and properties in South Africa if Zuma’s case isn’t handled well, we all know what’s happening now, the sudden change in leadership of GTBank was mentioned in this book, in the areas of sports too, Primate Ayodele accurately prophesied the outcome of Euro 2020 and COPA America semi-finals and final matches during live services on his Facebook page, this was not recorded, it was a live broadcast before the match was played, they came to pass exactly how he said it (see his Facebook page here https://web.facebook.com/inrievangelical) , these are just 0.01% of Primate Ayodele’s prophecies.

Finally, I would love to advise him to remember that Southwest remains his home after President Buhari’s tenure ends, He has allowed himself to be used as a weapon against his people for too long, the remaining years of his in power should be to retrace his steps and not cause more damages for himself, if not for his sake but for his family who is also full of shame on his behalf.

Grey CEO Urges Africa to Ditch Dollar for Trade

Grey CEO Idorenyin Obong says intra-African trade payments should bypass the dollar, as the fintech expands direct currency conversion routes

African businesses should be able to pay suppliers across the continent without routing transactions through the United States dollar, Grey co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Idorenyin Obong, has said, as the cross-border payments company expands its currency conversion infrastructure.

Obong made the remarks on Thursday, October 29, on the sidelines of Moonshot by TechCabal 2026, a two-day technology conference held at the National Theatre in Lagos.

He said reliance on intermediary currencies, particularly the dollar, adds complexity to transactions between African countries and can worsen existing foreign exchange liquidity challenges.

According to him, Grey has developed direct currency conversion routes that allow payments between selected African currencies without requiring businesses to convert their funds into dollars first.

“Most times, if you’re trading within Africa, there’s always some form of intermediary currency,” Obong said.

“We’ve built out these currency pairs, these exotic currency pairs, such that you never have to go in between to the USD.”

The issue is significant for businesses operating across African markets, where differences in currency availability, banking arrangements and payment infrastructure can make cross-border transactions expensive or unpredictable.

For example, a Nigerian company paying a supplier in Kenya may traditionally have to convert naira into dollars before exchanging the dollars for Kenyan shillings.

Each conversion introduces another stage in the transaction, potentially increasing costs and exposing the payment to additional delays.

Grey says its direct currency routes are designed to simplify that process by connecting supported currencies more efficiently.

The company said its payment infrastructure currently enables customers in Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana to send and receive money, with liquidity arrangements supporting transactions in multiple currencies.

It also said payments can be settled in real time across several supported currencies.

However, the availability of direct routes does not mean that all African currencies can be exchanged freely or that every transaction will avoid dollar intermediation.

Currency coverage, liquidity and regulatory requirements remain important considerations in cross-border payments.

Obong identified foreign exchange liquidity and payment reliability as two of the biggest difficulties confronting businesses that trade internationally.

He said uncertainty over when suppliers will receive their money can disrupt procurement schedules and weaken commercial relationships.

Grey has therefore invested in infrastructure intended to improve the predictability of international payouts, including providing customers with estimated delivery times.

“We spent the last six years building the infrastructure to ensure that we’re delivering at the last mile at 99.99% to our customers,” Obong said.

He also disclosed that Grey had processed more than 40 million transactions and nearly $5bn in payments since the company began operations in 2020.

The company has expanded beyond individual currency exchange services into business payments and international salary management.

Its Grey Business platform, designed for startups and small businesses, has processed nearly $100m since launching in February, according to the company.

Grey previously reported that the business platform processed $61.4m in its first four months, with demand partly driven by stablecoin-based payments.

The fintech has also extended its payout services to China, allowing businesses to pay suppliers in Chinese yuan.

The expansion reflects its effort to serve companies whose international supply chains extend beyond African markets.

Grey’s development has followed changes in customer demand since its launch in 2020.

Obong said the company initially operated as a currency exchange service but discovered that many customers were primarily using the platform to receive salaries earned abroad.

“Most of our customers were using Grey to receive their foreign salary. And so we decided to build what I would call simply a salary account for these customers,” he said.

That shift led to Paycheck, a product that enables professionals earning in dollars, pounds and euros to receive and manage their salaries.

The service also integrates with Pouch, Grey’s savings feature, which allows users to set aside money for goals such as education, travel and major purchases.

The company’s expansion comes amid wider efforts to improve financial connectivity across African markets.

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which seeks to create a more integrated continental market, has made trade facilitation, payment systems and currency-related barriers important parts of the conversation about intra-African commerce.

One initiative in this area is the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS), developed to facilitate cross-border payments in local African currencies.

The system is intended to reduce reliance on third-party currencies and make intra-African trade payments more efficient.

Grey’s direct currency routes address a related challenge through its own commercial payment infrastructure, although the company’s services and PAPSS are separate initiatives with different operating models.

Obong’s comments also came as the company faced questions about customer experiences, including difficulties accessing foreign currency accounts and obtaining support.

Grey said it provides round-the-clock digital assistance and operates a physical office, while maintaining that online support is more effective for directing customer complaints to its distributed teams.

Grey was the headline sponsor of Moonshot by TechCabal 2026, held on October 28 and 29 in Lagos.

The conference brought together technology companies, investors, entrepreneurs and other industry participants to discuss innovation, investment and business opportunities across Africa.

For Grey, the ambition is to make international payments less complicated for businesses and individuals.

Its push towards direct currency conversion reflects a broader question facing African commerce: how much more efficiently could companies trade across the continent if paying a supplier did not routinely require passing through the dollar?
