iled to a roaring crowd at Rams Park, Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has become the subject of a controversial prophecy. Primate Elijah Ayodele, founder of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has declared that the striker “won’t enjoy” his four-year deal with Turkish giants “Galatasaray”.
In a now-viral clip, the pastor warned: “Osimhen… four years deal… is failed. That four years deal, you will not enjoy it.
You better have a rethink.”The declaration comes shortly after the striker’s €75 million move from Napoli, making him the most expensive player in Turkish football history.
Record Deal, Family Joy, and a Shocking Warning
Osimhen signed a lucrative €15 million-per-season contract, potentially rising to €16 million with bonuses.
His official presentation on August 2nd, 2025, saw the striker flanked by his longtime partner “Stefanie Kim Ladewig” and their daughter “Hailey True”, basking in the joy of a new beginning.
But the prophecy has thrown cold water on the celebrations, igniting widespread debate among fans and pundits. Some dismissed the cleric’s statement as mere sensationalism, while others urged caution, recalling the pastor’s previous warnings.
Not His First Prophetic Target
This is not Primate Ayodele’s first spiritual intervention in Osimhen’s career. He had earlier warned against a move to Chelsea, claiming it would “kill his career”. He even went as far as urging the Nigerian Football Federation to stop calling him a Super Eagle, if such a move ever happened.
