Failed Prophecy: Primate Ayodele Embarrassed by Lookman’s Match-Winning Goal
Ademola Lookman delivered a commanding performance to help the Super Eagles secure a crucial victory, directly contradicting a widely circulated prophecy by Primate Elijah Ayodele that predicted misfortune for the team should the Atalanta forward feature in the match.
Before the game, Primate Ayodele had warned that Lookman’s inclusion would supposedly bring “bad luck” to the Super Eagles, a statement that sparked intense debate across social media and among football fans nationwide. However, events on the pitch told a completely different story.
Lookman not only justified his selection but also emerged as one of the standout performers of the encounter, finding the back of the net and energising the team with his pace, confidence, and attacking intelligence. His goal proved decisive, helping Nigeria overpower their opponents and secure all three points.
The result has since triggered widespread reactions online, with many fans mocking the failed prophecy and hailing Lookman for letting his football do the talking. Supporters praised the winger’s resilience and professionalism, noting that once again, performance on the pitch outweighed off-field predictions.
The Super Eagles’ victory strengthens their campaign and boosts morale within the squad, while Lookman’s display further cements his importance to the national team. As celebrations continue, the match serves as a reminder that in football, outcomes are ultimately decided by preparation, teamwork, and execution — not prophecies.
