A video of Archbishop Cyril Odutemu’s fiery sermon at E.K. Clark’s burial has gone viral, according to social media reports. Preaching before top politicians, including Senate President Akpabio, Governors of Bayelsa and Delta, and former President Jonathan, Odutemu declared: “God will judge us.” His sermon turned the church into a hall of uneasy seats.
- Odutemu criticised corruption and warned that “God will judge those who steal and teach others to steal.”
- He said Nigerians come to his bishopric daily begging for food in an oil-rich nation.
- Quoting scripture, he reminded leaders that “a good name is better than riches.”
- Reactions online praised his boldness, noting the awkward silence among the elite.
Uneasy seats aren’t just pews; they’re the moral discomfort of power hearing truth. The moment wasn’t a performance. It was pressure. A church transformed into a court, where robes couldn’t cover conscience
When last time you witnessed someone speak the truth that made uneasy seats of the powerful?
