The Nigerian entertainment industry is currently mourning after the death of Ifeanyi Adeleke, the only son of popular musician, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido.
Many people have expressed sadness over this news because Ifeanyi was always fun to watch, especially the fact that Davido treats him with so much care, gives him attention, and always showcases him on social media at every given time.
Apart from this, Ifeanyi was Chioma’s child, the one whom Davido plans to get married to in 2023 as it was announced some weeks earlier after they reconciled.
Ifeanyi was not just a celebrity’s child, everyone that loved Davido showed him the same affection and this is why I am seriously shattered by the sad occurrence. It should not have been Ifeanyi at all.
However, before this sad news happened, I once stumbled upon the prophecy of a Nigerian prophet, Primate Ayodele who is known for releasing prophecies concerning every sector of the country including sports, politics, entertainment, education, governance, and many more through his annual book of prophecy titled Warnings To The Nations.
During the release of the 2022/2023 edition of the prophecy book, Primate Ayodele mentioned some musicians and warned that they need to pray against unforeseen occurrences. Among the artists he mentioned are Davido, Obesere, Pasuma, Naira Marley and others.
The death of Ifeanyi Adeleke still remains the most unforeseen occurrence of this year because there was no sign that something of such would happen. He celebrated his birthday some days ago, Davido and Chioma still saw him yesterday before they travelled to a family function only for them to be told that he drowned in the swimming pool. It’s just a mysterious happening that is begging for clarity.
Although Primate Ayodele onlyis job as a prophet to warn the musician, I would blame him partially because as a prophet, he should have tried to reach out to Davido to at least pray for him and warn him personally ahead of what will befall him.
I believe the man of God saw clearly what was going to happen but as an elderly man, there was a need to wrap the words around what he said so he won’t be seen as a prophet of doom. Sincerely, Primate Ayodele should have tried to reach out to Davido, maybe he would have been saved from this unfortunate incident.
