Popular Nigerian cleric Primate Elijah Ayodele has once again thrust himself into the center of national conversation after issuing a sweeping prophecy that has left many Nigerians equal parts entertained and perplexed.
Known for predictions that often spark controversy and heated debate, the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church announced what he described as a certainty about Nigeria’s distant future: the total disappearance of mosquitoes by the year 2033.
Speaking with characteristic confidence, Ayodele declared;
"In 2033, there will be no mosquito in Nigeria. Don’t believe it o, just write it and hold it. If you’re alive then, you will see it”.
A statement that quickly escaped the confines of the pulpit and found new life across social media platforms.
Within hours, the prophecy had gone viral, triggering waves of reactions from Nigerians online. For a country that has long battled mosquito-borne diseases, particularly malaria, the claim was received with a mix of sarcasm, cautious hope, and outright disbelief. Many users treated the prophecy as comedy gold, riffing on the idea that the disappearance of mosquitoes would automatically usher in a malaria-free era.
One social media commentator bluntly dismissed the claim, writing, “No be only mosquito, na malaria. Nigeria pastors and yeye prophecy ,” while another took a more playful approach, adding, “We will bookmark this one till 2033.” Memes, jokes, and speculative threads followed, with some Nigerians imagining a future where insecticide-treated nets become museum artifacts.
Despite the humor, others attempted to interpret the prophecy through a more analytical lens. Some suggested that Ayodele might be alluding to scientific breakthroughs, environmental changes, or aggressive public health interventions that could significantly reduce mosquito populations. Still, critics argue that the statement, as delivered, leaves little room for nuance and leans heavily into sensationalism.
Primate Ayodele’s reputation for bold pronouncements is well established. Over the years, he has issued predictions about elections, economic trends, natural disasters, and the political fortunes of key figures. While some of his followers insist that past prophecies have come to pass, skeptics maintain that many of his forecasts are either vague or unverifiable.
Beyond the mosquito prediction, the cleric has recently ventured into political commentary. He warned President Bola Tinubu against appointing governors who defected to the ruling party, particularly those from the northern region.
According to Ayodele, such political choices could ignite serious backlash and destabilize the administration, a caution that added another layer to his already headline-grabbing presence.
As 2033 remains nearly a decade away, Nigerians appear content for now to laugh, argue, and set digital reminders. Whether the prophecy proves prophetic, symbolic, or simply memorable, Primate Ayodele has once again succeeded in capturing national attention, reminding many that in Nigeria, faith, politics, and humor often collide in the public square.
