Arome Osayi Critiques Odumeje, Sparks Online Backlash

Apostle Arome Osayi, founder of Remnant Christian Network (RCN), has come under scrutiny following the resurfacing of an old sermon where he criticized Prophet Chukwuemeka Odumeje, known as “Indaboski” and “Abidoshaker.” In the sermon, Osayi questioned the origins of some ministers and their unconventional approaches to prophetic ministry, alleging that certain ministers stage healing demonstrations using props like crutches. He suggested that the era of dramatic displays in churches was nearing its end.

This resurfaced video has reignited backlash against Osayi, who is already facing criticism for a recent sermon claiming that Nigeria's primary national purpose is spiritual "revival" rather than economic or technological advancement. The renewed attention comes at a time when Osayi is experiencing intense public scrutiny, particularly on social media.
