Primate Ayodele Predicts Mosquitoes Will Disappear from Nigeria by 2033

The founder and leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele, has stirred widespread reactions after predicting that mosquitoes will completely disappear from Nigeria by the year 2033.

The cleric made the statement in a viral video currently circulating across social media platforms, where he declared that the country would witness a future without mosquitoes within the next decade.

According to him, Nigerians should document the prophecy rather than immediately believe it.

“2033, there will be no mosquito in Nigeria. Don’t believe it o, just write it and hold it. If you’re alive then, you will see it,” he said.

The prophecy has since generated intense reactions across Nigeria’s online space, with many expressing disbelief while others reacted with humour and curiosity over the possibility of such an occurrence.

Reports indicate that the statement quickly went viral, with Nigerians debating whether the disappearance of mosquitoes would also mean the end of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, which remains a major public health concern across the country.

Some social media users described the prophecy as one of the boldest predictions yet from the outspoken cleric, while others questioned the scientific feasibility of eliminating mosquitoes entirely from a tropical country like Nigeria.

The prediction also revived conversations around malaria eradication efforts in Nigeria. Health experts have repeatedly emphasised that malaria is transmitted mainly by female Anopheles mosquitoes, making mosquito control a key strategy in reducing infection rates.

Primate Ayodele, known for issuing spiritual and socio-political prophecies, has in the past made several predictions concerning Nigeria’s political, economic and security outlook, many of which have attracted public debate and criticism.

Meanwhile, social media reactions to the latest prophecy ranged from scepticism to satire, with some Nigerians suggesting the prophecy should be “bookmarked till 2033” to verify its accuracy, while others joked about mosquitoes staging a “national protest” against extinction.

The cleric’s latest statement adds to the long list of controversial and widely discussed prophecies attributed to him, reinforcing his reputation as one of Nigeria’s most talked-about religious figures.

Whether taken seriously or dismissed as symbolic, the prophecy has once again ignited nationwide conversations, with many Nigerians waiting to see how future events unfold.
