August 15, 2023 Tinubu’s Ministers Won’t Perform Miracles: Yam Expected To Reach N4000, Garri At N500, Says Primate Ayodele

Tinubu’s Ministers Won’t Perform Miracles: Yam Expected To Reach N4000, Garri At N500, Says Primate Ayodele

Primate Elijah Ayodele, the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church leader, has issued a cautionary message about the anticipated rise in the cost of food items over the next three months.

He has predicted that the price of yam is projected to reach N4000, while a cup of garri could increase to N500.

On Tuesday, these predictions were conveyed through a statement issued by his spokesperson, Oluwatosin Osho.

Primate Ayodele's statement emphasised President Bola Tinubu's need to adopt a serious approach, as his appointed ministers may not possess magical solutions to these economic challenges.

The prophet further disclosed that the prices of essential commodities, particularly food items, are likely to experience further escalation unless the prevailing hardships are adequately addressed.

In his words, "If proper measures aren't taken, it's possible that in the coming three months, the cost of a large yam could climb to N4,000, a cup of garri might cost N500, and a bottle of groundnut oil could even reach N3,000. These potential scenarios underline the importance of tackling the economic situation proactively."

Primate Ayodele highlighted the need for a substantive focus and a team of technocrats and economic experts to resolve the ongoing economic concerns.

He emphasised that more than the ministers' efforts alone may be needed and urged the consideration of specialists to navigate these challenges effectively.

Chidinma Ekile Declines to Discuss Her Relationship with Kizz Daniel or Flavour

During a recent interview, the 32-year-old songstress directly confronted the rumours concerning her alleged connections with these prominent figures in the entertainment realm.

As mentioned earlier, when asked about her romantic involvement with either of the singers, she responded briefly, "I wouldn't even want to discuss that."

Chidinma clarified her current relationship status, confirming that she is not presently in a romantic partnership and experiences no pressure to settle down or embark on marriage.

She maintains her belief that the right person will come into her life at the appropriate time, and until then, she is content without any external pressure.

Throughout the past year, speculations and whispers about her purported relationships with these singers have circulated numerous times, spanning different periods.

Chidinma emphasised her skill in navigating the industry by maintaining a steadfast ability to tune out the harsh sounds of rumours and distractions that often arise in such situations. This capacity, she shared, has allowed her to remain focused and centred despite the ongoing speculation.

If I’m Not Given Awards, I Will Buy Them – Portable

Having burst onto the mainstream scene in 2021 with the hit single 'Zazzu Zeh,' featuring Olamide and Poco Lee, Portable has maintained his presence in the media with his bold and sometimes controversial actions.

In a recent appearance, Portable openly discussed his stance on awards, revealing that he's willing to purchase them if he's not awarded based on merit.

In 2022, Portable's achievements earned him two nominations at the Headies Awards for Rookie of the Year and Best Street Hop, owing to his track 'Zazzu Zeh.' However, his journey was marred by controversy as he was later disqualified from the awards for violating the Headies' code of conduct. This transpired after he verbally threatened fellow nominees and engaged in a physical altercation with DJ Chicken.

When questioned about his views on awards, Portable expressed his unreserved approach: "If they don't give me an award, I'll buy it... My music will generate the money for me to purchase an award," he said in Pidgin English.

Following his loss to Goya Menor in the Headies Street Pop category, Portable criticised the Headies Academy for selecting an artist whose song lacks recognition on the streets.

Still stung by his disqualification, Portable predicted that the brands that deny him awards now would eventually approach him, requesting payment for awards.
