The respected spiritual leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has once again raised a strong prophetic alarm concerning Nigeria’s fragile unity. During a prophetic service at his church in Oke-Afa, Lagos, the man of God revealed that Nigeria stands on the brink of division, warning that the government’s complacency and lack of national cohesion could lead to a major crisis.
Speaking passionately to his congregation, Primate Ayodele declared that the spirit of division along ethnic and religious lines has grown stronger, threatening the peace and survival of the nation. He cautioned that unless urgent steps are taken by those in power to restore genuine unity and national trust, the country could face unprecedented turmoil.
“Honestly, I tell you this Nigeria is not unified,” he said.
“Ethnicity and religion can break this country if our leaders fail to act wisely. The government must be watchful and do the right thing. The unity of this nation is paramount, the country can break anytime”
This is not the first time Primate Ayodele has sounded the alarm on the issue of national unity. For years, he has consistently urged successive governments to prioritize fairness, inclusion, and justice, warning that the nation’s diversity if not properly managed could become its greatest threat rather than its strength.
The man of God had earlier cautioned that ethnic bias and religious sentiment would worsen political tension and deepen distrust among Nigerians if leaders continued to govern with favoritism. He prophesied that a time would come when tribal loyalty would override national identity, and if left unchecked, such division could spark civil unrest.
The years that followed saw Nigeria experience numerous ethnic and religious flashpoints from tensions in the North-Central region to inter-communal clashes in parts of the South. These incidents, according to observers, reflect exactly what Primate Ayodele warned against a growing disconnection between the people and the idea of national unity.
In his latest revelation, Primate Ayodele stressed that Nigeria’s leaders at every level must see unity as a moral and spiritual obligation, not just a political slogan. He emphasized that government policies must reflect inclusivity, fairness, and respect for the country’s multi-ethnic and multi-religious composition.
He warned that continued division could lead to chaos that would not only affect politics but also cripple the economy and social stability. The man of God called on religious leaders, traditional rulers, and political stakeholders to rise above selfish interests and put the nation first.
Primate Ayodele’s message comes as a sober reminder in a time of deep political polarization and economic hardship. Many analysts believe his warnings echo the sentiments of millions of Nigerians who feel alienated by systemic inequality and growing regional mistrust.
Over the years, Primate Ayodele’s prophecies about Nigeria’s political, social, and economic challenges have been remarkably accurate. From predictions about insecurity to government instability, his consistent call for unity has always been at the heart of his national warnings.
This latest prophecy, focusing on ethnic and religious divisions, serves as a wake-up call to Nigeria’s leadership, reminding them that peace cannot be achieved without justice and inclusivity. If ignored, the consequences, according to the man of God, could shake the very foundation of the nation.
