This prophecy has caused a stir, especially given the celebratory scenes at RAMS Park on Saturday, August 2nd, where Osimhen was joined by his long-time partner, Stefanie Kim Ladewig, 24, and their two-year-old daughter, Hailey True.

The family’s presence painted a picture of happiness and new beginnings, which now stands in stark contrast to the cleric's shocking words.

This isn't the first time Primate Elijah Ayodele has weighed in on Victor Osimhen's career decisions. 

The cleric previously made headlines when he cautioned the prolific striker against a move to Premier League giants Chelsea, who were long-time suitors for the Nigerian star.

 As reported by Pulse Sports, Primate Ayodele strongly advised Osimhen to reconsider his options, stating that the striker would not "shine" at Chelsea and that such a move would "kill his career." 

In a short video clip, he even went as far as to urge the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to be cautious about calling up Osimhen if he were to join the English club, saying as reported by Punch Online:

"NFF, if Osimhen should go to Chelsea, don’t call him again, and also calling him to the Super Eagles still needs to be previewed properly because we have what it takes to the World Cup and Nations Cup," he was quoted to have said.

With this history of prophetic warnings, many are left to wonder whether the latest prediction about his time at Galatasaray will come to pass.

The Nigerian goal machine outscored every single player in the league having netted 26 times in 30 matches.
