Apostle Arome Osayi was clear that smaller amounts would not be accepted.
"If you are willing, the amount God told me is 1 million. If you are willing to give 1 million — willing and foolish like me to give 1 million — you have 5 minutes; these are the account details. I'm not saying 500,000, I'm not saying 10,000, don't bother. Don't bother. The amount was specific," Osayi said in the footage.
He directed members to the account details displayed on screen and justified his request by stating he had already given his own portion first.
"I'm not saying come to the front, please. No, you will not be seen; the people that fulfil this... If you are willing like me, because I have given my own before I'm asking you to give, and there's evidence to show that I've given. All right, so that's where I derive my authority from," he added.
Arome Osayi and VeryDarkMan controversy
The resurfacing of the video came against the backdrop of an ongoing public dispute between Arome Osayi and social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM).
The feud started after Apostle Arome Osayi preached that Nigeria's primary calling is spiritual revival.
VDM pushed back strongly, arguing that religious thinking was stalling the country's progress and that Nigerians should focus on technology, economic productivity, and infrastructure instead.

VDM questions Arome Osayi’s identity on flyer
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that VeryDarkMan criticised Arome Osayi after noticing that the cleric was listed as representing the United States on a flyer for an upcoming Cameroon for Jesus Crusade Conference.
VDM questioned why Osayi was associated with the US rather than Nigeria and argued that residency or citizenship abroad does not change a person’s Nigerian identity.
He also reminded the cleric of his Edo roots while urging him to embrace his Nigerian heritage.
