Did Primate Ayodele foretell emergence of Sadio Mane as CAF footballer of the year?

By Saheed Afolabi

Talented Senegal footballer, Sadio Mane has added a new feat to his football career when he was announced as the African footballer of the year at the CAF awards that held yesterday in Morocco.

This is coming after popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele who is the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church made mention of the player’s name some weeks ago during a prophetic moment.

Primate Ayodele had released his annual prophecy book titled Warnings To The Nations (2022/2023 edition­) on Saturday, 9th Of July 2022 at his Lagos church. This annual prophecy book always contains prophetic statements to countries around the world, government officials, politicians, professors, musicians and footballers are also not left out.

Infact, Primate Ayodele always lists out names of prominent footballers and talks about what they should be expecting in their careers in coming years. The previous edition of this prophecy book was the first place that it was ever mentioned that Christiano Ronaldo would leave Juventus even when there was no situation that pointed to the exit of the star footballer. The previous edition had it that Lionel Messi would not be appreciated in Barcelona, this was exactly what happened that led to the exit of the Football icon at FCB.

In the just released 2022/2023 edition of this prophecy book, Primate Ayodele spoke about Sadio Mane’s career among others and said that the player will be among the chosen best African players. The man of God continued by saying he will make his country proud and win international awards.

These were his words

‘’ SADIO MANE : I foresee he will be among the chosen best African players. He needs to pray for luck and success. The spirit of God says he will make his club and country proud. I foresee he will get an international award and apart from this, the player will make his club relevant. He needs to pray not to have problems with his coach even as he will want to leave his present club for another one.’’

With Sadio Mane’s emergence as African best player at the CAF awards yesterday, is it safe to say Primate Ayodele prophesied this?
