Pastor Iren's Warning Resurfaces Amid Osayi-VDM Feud

A sermon clip by Pastor Iren has gained renewed attention as a public dispute unfolds between Apostle Arome Osayi and social commentator VDM. In the sermon, Iren cautioned against speaking negatively about men of God, referencing biblical passages from Luke 10 and Matthew 10:40, emphasizing that God takes such actions personally.

He clarified that his message was not a defense of clergy misconduct, acknowledging the appropriateness of legal action in cases of genuine abuse. This resurfacing was prompted by Osayi's comments at the International Eagles Conference (IEC) 2026, where he suggested that Nigeria's hardships are part of a divine calling rather than a reflection of failed governance.

VDM countered Osayi's message, arguing it promotes prayer over practical ambition, while noting Osayi's relocation to the United States. VDM also announced a week dedicated to Osayi and his supporters, intensifying the ongoing feud.
