CITIZENS COMPASS – As we move towards the end of 2024 when people anticipate what God has to say through his prophets about the new year we are approaching, it is important to do a review of how prophecies shared at the beginning of the year 2024 fared.
Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church ranks among the men of God people listen to regarding new year prophecies and as usual, He released a booklet in December 2023 containing the mind of God about 2024.
His prophecies are not always about Nigeria alone, this prophecies booklet always contain prophetic revelation to nations, companies, ministries, different sectors, and several others.
As we unwind for the year 2024, Below are 100 among the prophecies of Primate Ayodele for the year:
1 Nigerian economy: Primate Ayodele in his prophecy for the year 2024 about Nigerian economy was that it would be difficult to achieve results. He stated that it would take a lot of effort for the economy to be revived. In the light of the economy, the prophet made it known that the Naira exchange against dollar will hit N1400.
These were his words
“The spirit of God says the Nigeria economy needs a lot of prayers for it to be revived. The economic policies and activities need to be well moderated and coordinated in order to achieve desired results. I foresee that under the current realities, the cefa will be stronger than the Naira. Also, the Dollar to Naira will rise to #1400 and this will shake the economy so badly there are forces that are hell bent at frustrating the Tinubu led Federal government but they will not be successful. The spirit of God says those who are scheming to frustrate it are people that he is closer to.”
As it stands, this was fulfilled before the year came to an end.
2 Prices of commodities: Primate Ayodele in his uniqueness made it known that the price of essential commodities will increase and also gave what the commodities would cost in the course of the year.
“Local rice will go to #45,000 Imported rice will be #80,000 Coca cola will be #300 Pure water will be sold at the rate of two for #100. The government is yet to structure the salary properly. The Salary will not help the economy to grow, the workers have not noticed this. Biscuit will go to #100, #150, #200 while a bottle of palm oil will go to #2,000.”, As we speak, some of these commodities have even exceeded these prices.
3 Petrol Price: Primate Ayodele in his prophecies for the year noted that there will be increment in petrol prices no matter what the government tries to do. He also revealed that petroleum products would be scarce in the course of the year.
“There is nothing the government will do as regards Petroleum products for I foresee there will still be increment in the Pump price of petrol even as there will scarcity of petroleum products in 2024.”

“Furthermore, I foresee the Nigeria economy will be fluctuating, it will be unstable and inflation rates will rise up astronomically. The economic stability will crash down to very low levels despite the fact that Central Bank of Nigeria {CBN} and the federal government will be working to find a way forward. I have not seen anything better for the future looks gloomy”
At the moment, Nigeria’s inflation rate is currently at 33%, the highest so far.
