A prominent Nigerian cleric, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has issued a fresh warning about impending floods in several parts of the country, calling on citizens and authorities to take proactive measures to mitigate potential damage. His warning highlights states such as Lagos, Abuja, Ekiti State, Kogi State, and Kaduna State as areas at significant risk.
Speaking during a recent address, Ayodele stressed that the warnings are not meant to incite fear but to encourage preparedness and spiritual reflection. According to him, unusual rainfall patterns and environmental neglect could combine to create severe flooding incidents in the coming months.

“In Lagos, Abuja, Ekiti, Kogi, and Kaduna, we must be watchful. The signs of heavy flooding are there, and we must pray against destruction,” he said. “This is also a time for the government to act swiftly and responsibly.”
Nigeria has in recent years experienced recurring floods, often linked to heavy rains, poor drainage systems, and rising water levels in major rivers. Ayodele’s warning comes amid growing concerns among environmental experts about the country’s vulnerability to climate change and extreme weather events.
Residents in low-lying areas, especially in Lagos and Kogi State, have historically borne the brunt of flooding, with homes submerged, livelihoods disrupted, and communities displaced. In Abuja, rapid urban expansion without adequate drainage infrastructure has also increased the risk of flash floods.
Ayodele urged both federal and state governments to intensify efforts in clearing drainage systems, enforcing environmental laws, and sensitizing the public on flood prevention measures. He also called on emergency response agencies to remain on high alert.
“Prayer is important, but action is equally necessary. Authorities must not wait until disaster strikes before responding,” he added.
In Ekiti State and Kaduna State, communities have previously reported seasonal flooding affecting farmlands and residential areas. Experts warn that without adequate intervention, food production could also be impacted, worsening economic challenges.
While some Nigerians view prophetic warnings like Ayodele’s with skepticism, others believe they serve as an early call to action. Religious leaders across the country have increasingly echoed similar concerns, urging citizens to combine faith with practical steps.
As the rainy season approaches, stakeholders emphasize the need for collective responsibility. From government agencies to local communities, coordinated efforts will be crucial in reducing the potential impact of floods.
For now, Ayodele’s message remains clear: vigilance, preparation, and prayer are essential in preventing a repeat of past disasters and safeguarding lives and property across the nation.
