Primate Ayodele Warns of Hardship and Economic Crisis in Nigeria by 2025
Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, made alarming predictions about Nigeria’s economic situation during a press conference on Friday.
He forewarned that the country would experience intensified hardship in 2025, stating that an “economic blackout” is on the horizon.
This dire forecast suggests that citizens may reach a breaking point and revolt against the government.
In his statement, delivered by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele emphasized the government’s failure to alleviate the suffering of Nigerian citizens.
He criticized the administration for neglecting its responsibilities, which has exacerbated the current economic challenges facing the nation.
The clergy highlighted that while Nigerians are already enduring significant hardships, conditions are expected to worsen unless immediate and effective action is taken by the government.
Primate Ayodele’s concerns are rooted in the rising costs of basic commodities.
He predicts that prices will skyrocket, with rice potentially costing as much as N150,000 and beans exceeding N200,000.
He expressed frustration over the government’s inability to address these issues, asserting that the lack of action to lower food prices is contributing to the growing suffering among citizens.
According to him, the government’s approach to tackling economic issues is insufficient, and he pointed out that the operational refineries would not resolve the broader problems plaguing Nigeria’s economy.
He stated, “People are suffering and have not enjoyed any benefits from this government; instead, they face increasing suffering and agony.”
Primate Ayodele warned that the economic difficulties facing Nigerians will escalate, predicting that the hardships in 2025 will be three times greater than what the populace currently endures.
He urged the government to act decisively to prevent widespread discontent among citizens, cautioning that failure to do so could lead to civil unrest.
The Primate pointed out that the rising costs of essential items such as kerosene, gas, and diesel are indicative of deeper systemic issues within the country.
He criticized the administration for its inability to remove ineffective officials, noting the surprising comfort of the president amid rampant economic irresponsibility.
“The economic situation will worsen significantly next year unless the government takes corrective measures,” he stated.
“There is a profound rot within our systems, and unless we see a commitment to genuine reform, we are bound to face severe consequences.”
Primate Ayodele’s statements highlight a growing concern among citizens regarding the government’s efficacy in addressing the pressing economic issues in Nigeria.
With many Nigerians feeling the strain of these challenges, his warnings serve as a call for urgent and meaningful action from those in power to avert potential unrest and ensure a more stable future for the nation.
The Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Attorneys General of several states seeking to abolish the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Act.
The suit, initially brought by Attorneys General from 16 states, aimed to challenge the legal establishment of the anti-graft agency. Over time, some states, including Anambra, Ebonyi, and Adamawa, withdrew from the case, while others, such as Imo, Bauchi, and Osun, joined as co-plaintiffs during the October 22 hearing.
The apex court subsequently struck out the suits of the withdrawing states and dismissed the broader case, upholding the EFCC Act.
The Deputy Comptroller of Corrections at the Suleja Custodial Facility in Niger State, Ibrahim Yau, has expressed concern over the difficulties in providing decent meals for inmates due to Nigeria’s harsh economic situation.
Speaking during a visit by Legal Aid Council officials, Yau highlighted the inadequacy of the daily feeding allowance and the overcrowding in the facility, which now houses 405 inmates despite a capacity of 250.
He commended NGOs for their support, acknowledging the government’s inability to fully address the welfare needs of the inmates. The visit aimed to improve prison conditions and provide free legal services to inmates.
Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State and a prominent political figure, has expressed deep sorrow following the passing of Justice Emmanuel Ogwuegbu, a respected former Supreme Court Justice.
In a message, Obi described Justice Ogwuegbu as a beacon of integrity whose legacy of truth, justice, and fairness has left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s judiciary.
Justice Ogwuegbu served in the Nigerian judiciary for several decades, with a distinguished 11-year tenure at the Supreme Court.
During his time on the bench, he earned a reputation for his unwavering commitment to justice and truth, holding fast to the principles of fairness, no matter the case or the parties involved.
His tenure was marked by a resolute dedication to ensuring that the rule of law prevailed in all matters, and his decisions were often seen as beacons of impartiality and reason.
Obi took a moment to reflect on the challenges facing Nigeria’s judiciary today, noting that it has come under pressure, much like the country’s political landscape.
In recent times, justice has sometimes been perceived as transactional, with fairness often compromised.
However, Justice Ogwuegbu stood as an example of what the judiciary should represent—an unwavering pillar of integrity that serves the common man, ensuring that the law applies equally to all.
As Obi mourned the loss, he praised the legacy left behind by Justice Ogwuegbu.
His career was a testament to the values of honesty, dedication, and fairness.
Obi encouraged current members of the judiciary to follow in Ogwuegbu’s footsteps, upholding the same high standards of justice and integrity.
He stressed that the judiciary’s role as a protector of fairness and truth is crucial, especially in today’s challenging times.
On behalf of his family and the Obidient family, Obi extended his heartfelt condolences to the Ogwuegbu family and the entire legal community.
He expressed sympathy for the loss, acknowledging the profound impact Justice Ogwuegbu had on the legal profession.
Obi prayed that God would grant strength to the Ogwuegbu family and the legal community in this difficult time, and that the late justice would be granted eternal peace.
