Controversial Nigerian Pastor Babatunde Ayodele has predicted a doomsday for Liberia saying that Liberians will see inflation next year and will see paper and call it money. In his latest ‘prophecy’ on Liberia, the Nigerian clergyman turned on President Joseph Nyuma Boakai for the second time saying, “Boakai, you have messed up this country. The people of this country will live in pain because of your bad policies; wrong policies.
He added, “You have used those policies to kill the nation. Liberia, shine your eyes! You are not responsible, but next year you will see inflation. You will see paper and call it money. You will see the sand and call it rice. Because of this, your President will not get things right. Things will be totally unstable.”
Prelate Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in Oke-Afa, Lagos, Nigeria noted, “You said I would not enter your country. I have entered Liberia and come out. I went there to pray. Check now: I have entered Liberia and come out. You said if I came to Liberia, they would arrest me. Arrest me for what? Tell me, beloved, Bunker cannot arrest me. We will take power to show power.”
Primate Elijah Ayodele continues to predict a doomsday for Liberia with the issuance of another grim warning about Liberia’s economic future, predicting that by 2027, poverty could become so severe that people might mistake ordinary paper for money. His prediction raises serious questions, not only about Liberia’s leadership, but also about the responsibility of religious leaders who publicly forecast the suffering of other nations.
Following his latest prediction about Liberia, many Liberians turned on him with some questioning him, saying, “But, Primate Ayodele, before predicting Liberia’s economic misery, have you examined the hardship facing ordinary Nigerians in your own country?
According to some who responded to the prelate’s doomsday prediction, Nigeria continues to grapple with high living costs, food inflation, insecurity, and widespread poverty. They added that the International Monetary Fund reported in June 2026 that poverty had reached an estimated 63 percent under Nigeria’s national poverty line, while approximately 27 million Nigerians faced food insecurity in the fall of 2025.
“If you are warning Liberians about their future, are you equally warning Nigerians about the consequences of leadership decisions that have left millions struggling to afford food and other basic necessities?” Abraham Sallah questioned.
He went on, “Where are your equally forceful warnings to Nigeria’s political leaders about the suffering of their own people? Have you publicly challenged the hardship confronting Nigerians with the same urgency you use when predicting disaster for Liberia? And if your prophecy is intended as a warning to leaders, should it not also demand accountability, responsible governance, and practical action rather than simply predict suffering?”
Sallah argued that Liberia’s economic problems should not be dismissed, and President Joseph Nyuma Boakai’s administration must answer legitimate questions about poverty, unemployment, public spending, and the living conditions of ordinary citizens. He said no government should be shielded from criticism.
“But why should a prophecy about Liberia receive more attention than the measurable economic challenges confronting Nigeria itself? Primate Ayodele, what evidence supports your prediction that Liberians will mistake paper for money in 2027? Is this a spiritual warning, a political opinion, or an economic forecast? And how should citizens distinguish between prophecy and evidence-based analysis?” he further questioned the Nigerian prelate.
Another Liberia Martha Stephenson of the University of Liberia informed Primate Elijah Ayodele that if he believes leaders must be warned about the suffering of their people, let that message cross every border, including Nigeria. “The poor in Liberia deserve concern, but so do the millions of Nigerians confronting hardship in their own country. Her final question for the Nigerian Primate, “Are you speaking truth to power wherever poverty exists, or are your loudest warnings reserved for the leaders of other nations?”
