In the clip, Osayi recalled an outdoor preaching session in Port Harcourt, where heavy rainfall threatened to disrupt the event. According to him, he commanded the rain to stop, and it did, allowing the service to continue. He also claimed a woman who had been deaf for 30 years regained her hearing during the same meeting.
Apostle Osayi's bold weather claims
The cleric went further, stating that he prays to "loosen" the rain again before sleeping after shutting it. "When you shut the heavens before you sleep, loosen it," he said, recounting what he described as a divine instruction.

Osayi was emphatic that his claimed ability is not performed through human effort but granted through spiritual authority.
"I have power. I know I have that power. "It is given unto me, and I'm not saying it boastfully, I say it in the authority of a missionary, the one that Jesus has sent for."
The cleric also extended an open invitation, telling listeners: "If maybe you want to do an outdoor meeting and it's raining, call me; I will stop it, for good reasons."
Here is the Instagram video of the cleric speaking about his power over the weather:

Bishop Ibro Zion on VDM and Apostle Arome
Legit.ng reported that Bishop Ibro Zion publicly called out Verydarkman over remarks the activist made about Apostle Arome Osayi, accusing him of crossing a line in his comments about the prominent clergyman.
Zion defended Arome’s background in Nigeria’s petrochemical industry and also backed his views concerning Nigeria’s potential role in the end-time Christian revival.
In making his case, Bishop Zion highlighted several Nigerian ministers whom he said have made a significant impact globally. He also argued that churches contribute more to Nigeria’s development than the federal government, adding another dimension to the ongoing discussion about the influence and contributions of religious institutions in the country.
