Apostle Arome Osayi's Viral Rain Control Claim Amid Feud

An old video featuring Apostle Arome Osayi has resurfaced, gaining attention due to his claims of having the spiritual authority to control weather. The video, which circulated on Instagram on September 28, 2026, shows Osayi recounting an outdoor preaching event where he commanded rain to stop, allowing the service to proceed uninterrupted.

He also mentioned a miraculous healing of a woman who had been deaf for 30 years during the same meeting. Osayi stated that his ability to control the rain is not a result of human effort but is granted through divine authority.

He invited listeners to contact him if they needed assistance with outdoor events affected by rain. The video gained traction particularly because of Osayi's ongoing public dispute with activist Verydarkman, who has made critical remarks about the cleric.

Bishop Ibro Zion defended Osayi, emphasizing the positive contributions of churches to Nigeria's development.
