Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos has unveiled his prophecies for 2016.      

Primate Ayodele revealed the prophecies while speaking with SUN NEWS. He said: Let me start from the railways; the Nigerian government wanted to put the railways right, but what I foresee is a derailment, an accident. The government wants to improve the railways system, but the efforts will not work as expected. There will be improvement, but later it will be inefficient.

Banking sector
Some banks will collapse, if care is not taken. Intercontinental Bank, Bank PHB and Afribank will comeback if the shareholders seek the face of God – because they can win their case on the ground of due process, if only they seek the face of God. If the shareholders seek the face of God, the banks will come back. I repeat, these three banks – Intercontinental, Bank PHB and Afribank will comeback if they seek the face of God. They cannot fight the battle physically; the only way for the people involved to get back the banks is to seek the face of God, otherwise they cannot get back the banks. The governor of the Central Bank should seek the face of God otherwise he will be removed and some deputy governors will be redeployed.

First Bank, Zenith Bank, Fidelity and Skye bank will lay off some of their staff. These banks must be careful not to be attacked in Lagos, South West, South South. Diamond Bank must be prayerful so that one of their branches will not be engulfed by fire.

Some banking policy changes will not see the light of day. Some banks will be indicted for money laundering while some will be indicted for illegal transfers.

There will be leadership changes in First Bank, Skye Bank and Fidelity Bank. Some banks, Zenith Bank, Stanbic-IBTC, Heritage bank must be careful so that they will not face crisis.

The Islamic bank will go into commercial banking. The staff of the Central Bank of Nigeria must pray that none of their branches is burnt by fire.

NNPC

Government will have more problems by removing oil subsidy. If care is not taken, we are going to buy petrol at N200 per litre. The removal of oil subsidy will spur militant youths to vandalise pipelines to steal products for sale. Stoppage of the amnesty programme will cause a breakdown of peace in the oil industry. There is going to be more cleansing in NNPC.

Security

Nigeria Army will not be able to defeat Boko Haram if the Air Force is not fully involved. They can only defeat Boko Haram with combined air and ground assault and using satellite to target their leaders.

People in the South West and South South must be careful because terrorists will infiltrate these areas. The terrorists will still carry out more suicide bomb attacks in Plateau and Abuja.

Nigerians should set the first two weeks of 2016 January 1-14, for prayers to seek the face of God.

Politics

If the All Progressives Congress is not careful, the party will crack. Also if PDP does not go back to beg the founding fathers, the party may not recover, because some PDP governors will decamp to APC. But a northern party will emerge. CPC is not yet over. A group from the North will recreate CPC where a northern person will be incharge. APC as it is now will have problems if they are not careful. APC and PDP need a lot of prayers.

In Ondo State, if PDP does not pick the right candidate, they will lose the election. If they work with somebody called Saka, it will help the party. If APC wants to win the election, they should look towards Boroffice. Now Boroffice and Akeredolu may give them victory. For PDP, Saka and one other person, whose name I cannot pin down now will be good for them.

No matter what, Ladoja cannot defeat Ajimobi at the Supreme Court.

More political parties will be registered. Not all House of Assembly speakers will finish their terms. It is only prayers that will make the Taraba woman to go back to that seat.

Nuhu Ribadu must be very careful. Tambuwal must be more efficient because there is a move to disorganize his political structure. Atiku should seek the face of God very well because some people want to create trouble around him and destabilize his political machinery.

Jigawa State governor should be careful about accidents and political crisis within his domain. Some people want to hijack power from him. We must pray that we don’t lose any of our former first ladies. Let’s pray that the governors of Imo, Enugu, Cross River states will not have crisis. Anambra State governor must not decamp from APGA. If he dumps the party, he will have problem getting a second term.

Kogi, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom

Yahaya Bello must not underestimate James Faleke. He must seek the face of God, otherwise Faleke will win in court. Only the face of God will help him retain the governorship seat. When Yahaya is there, they will not give him peace of mind.

Seriake Dickson has to pray very well to retain his seat.

Wike needs divine intervention to retain the seat otherwise Dakuku Peterside will take it from him. Wike needs divine intervention.

Governor Udom Emmanuel must not joke at all with the rerun election. He must seek the face of God in order to retain the seat.

INEC

INEC officials must be prayerful against accidents. There will be a lot of criticisms against the INEC chairman, which will lead to a plot against him before the next election. He must be more prayerful.

Corruption

The Halliburton case will come up again. In probing Jonathan, Buhari will end up shooting himself in the leg. What I mean by that is that as he tries to trouble Jonathan, it will cause problems. He will only be able to hit corruption, but will not make much impact. In the process of the corruption battle, some people who are close to Buhari will be indicted. That is why I said that Buhari will shoot himself in the leg.

Buhari will make efforts to make Nigeria better, but his efforts will be frustrated by a cabal in his administration. He will step on many toes, but that would frustrate his administration the more.

Biafra

Buhari must not overlook Biafra. He should dialogue with them. He must not hold dialogue with Boko Haram. If he does it, he will destroy his administration. Nigeria will face a lot of agitations by different groups. Then Buhari will call for confab, but he will not do anything with the report. His government should not see these predictions as doom messages, but as a warning and follow the advice appropriately. It is very important.

Judiciary

Let’s hope and pray that we do not lose any judge or that lawyers don’t go on strike. Some judges will be indicted.

Other predictions

There will be too many fire disasters. The government must invest in firefighting equipment. The GSM networks (Airtel, Etisalat, MTN) will lay off some staff. There will be contest for the sponsorship of the league between GLO and some other networks. MTN must be particularly watchful to avoid explosion in a major storage facility.

Newspaper houses must pray that their staff will not riot because of salary issues. Let’s pray that no journalist is lost, that no Nollywood star is lost.

NFF will have crisis. If our club sides play very well they might win a cup. They have to be motivated or they might not perform well. Government efforts to alleviate poverty will not be easy, fruitful. I see a lot of crises: Kanuri-Fulani crisis, Hausa-Fulani crisis. We should pray against massive fish poisoning in the river.
