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.

Andrew and Tristan Tate Lose Over £2 Million in Seized Funds Amid Tax Evasion Allegations
Westminster Magistrates Court has ruled against Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan, leading to the seizure of over £2 million from their accounts due to unpaid taxes linked to their online businesses.
The funds, held in seven frozen bank accounts, were traced to the Tates and a woman identified as J. Authorities allege the brothers funneled substantial sums, including cryptocurrency, through accounts in J’s name, despite her lack of involvement in their ventures.
Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring described the scheme as a “straightforward cheat of the revenue,” uncovering years of alleged tax evasion and money laundering. Devon and Cornwall Police revealed the brothers accrued millions between 2014 and 2022 without paying taxes or VAT.
Andrew Tate, however, criticized the ruling, claiming it is part of a “coordinated attack” to silence dissent. “This is not justice; it’s theft disguised as legal action,” Tate said in a statement.
The brothers are also facing separate criminal charges in Romania, including allegations of human trafficking and rape, and are set to be extradited to the UK.
