Primate Elijah Ayodele, Founder and Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, Nigeria, has issued a strong prophetic warning to the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) and the National Sports Commission (NSC), saying that failure to work as a team would spell doom for the Super Eagles’ World Cup dream.
Primate Ayodele made his views known on Tuesday, 5th of August, 2025, while speaking on current issues at his church at Ejigbo Lagos, Nigeria.
He said God is ready to take Nigeria to the World Cup but the NFF and NSC must work together.
He said this is not time for self glorification, betrayal of trust and not coordinating properly.
He added that NFF and NSC must work together and harmonise the Nigerian Supporters Cub and must not give due to whom it is not meant for.
The oracle of God added that Nigeria has very bright chances to be at the World Cup as their remaining qualification opponents cannot be said to be insurmountable.
Primate Ayodele also advised the Super Eagles handlers to make sure that the Super Eagles wear the same Jessy they wore on the day of the final match.
He still maintained that in all, it is only when NFF and NSC work as a team that victory would be guaranteed.
Primate Ayodele said, “God is ready to take Nigeria to the World Cup, but the factor that will fail Nigeria is when NFF and NSC are not working together.
“Yes when NSC and NFF are not working together. If there is betrayal of trust, if they are not coordinating properly, if somebody is seeking self glorification, it will be difficult for Nigeria to go to World Cup.
“Nigeria is supposed to be at World Cup.
“That is what the lord says, God will pave way for Nigeria to go to World Cup, let NSC and NFF work together, let them harmonise the Nigerian Supporters Club, and they must not give the right dues to a wrong person, that is what is killing Nigeria.
“And that t-shirt we used to play the final, is what they should use in the matches that are coming ahead. Who says we cannot beat, is it Angola or Rwanda for the qualification, we stand on a very bright note.
“If they don’t work hand in hand, it can jeopardize our chances,” Primate Ayodele stated.
