Primate Elijah Ayodele, Servant of the Most High God, Founder and Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in Lagos, Nigeria, has delivered a significant prophetic warning to the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) and the National Sports Commission (NSC). He stated that a lack of teamwork could jeopardise the Super Eagles’ aspirations for the World Cup.
Primate Ayodele expressed his thoughts on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, during a discussion on current matters at his church located in Ejigbo, Lagos, Nigeria.
He emphasised that God is prepared to lead Nigeria to the World Cup, but the NFF and NSC need to collaborate effectively. He remarked that this is not a time for self-aggrandisement, betrayal of trust, or poor coordination.
He further insisted that the NFF and NSC must unite and coordinate with the Nigerian Supporters Club, ensuring that the appropriate individuals receive their due recognition.
The oracle of God noted that Nigeria has a strong chance of qualifying for the World Cup, as its remaining opponents in the qualification process are not insurmountable.
Primate Ayodele also advised the Super Eagles’ management to ensure that the team wears the same jersey they donned during the final match.
He reiterated that victory can only be assured when the NFF and NSC function as a cohesive unit.

Primate Ayodele stated, “God is ready to take Nigeria to the World Cup, but the critical factor that could hinder Nigeria’s success is the lack of cooperation between the NFF and NSC.
”Indeed, when the NSC and NFF do not collaborate, if there is a betrayal of trust, if they fail to coordinate effectively, or if individuals pursue self-glorification, it will be challenging for Nigeria to reach the World Cup.
Nigeria is meant to be at the World Cup.
”That is what the Lord has declared; God will create a path for Nigeria to qualify for the World Cup. The NSC and NFF must work in unison, harmonise the Nigerian Supporters Club, and ensure that the right individuals receive their due, as this is what is hindering Nigeria.
