Prophet Primate Elijah Ayodele’s prediction suffered a setback on Tuesday night after Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman scored the decisive goal to secure victory for his side.
Ahead of the encounter, the cleric had publicly predicted that Lookman would fail to find the back of the net, a prophecy that quickly went viral across social media. However, events on the pitch proved otherwise as the Atalanta star delivered a clinical finish that settled the contest.
Lookman’s goal not only handed his team maximum points but also sparked reactions online, with football fans contrasting the outcome of the match with the controversial prediction.
The latest development adds to a growing list of high-profile prophecies by Prophet Ayodele that have drawn public attention, particularly when they intersect with major sporting and political events.
For Lookman, the goal further underlined his importance to his team, capping a strong performance on the night and reinforcing his reputation as one of Nigeria’s most in-form attackers.
