A popular Islamic Cleric who is also the Chief Imam of Offa in Kwara State was at function recently shaking 'big' table with his sermon. The Cleric ignored all the high and mighty at the corridors of power while delivering some bitter and candid sermon.
The words of the servant of God has caused mixed reactions, while some supported and hailed his outspokenness others condemned his act, saying his words were too heavy and inappropriate for an 'alfa'. Well here is the video below:
This message hit really hard and I glad there are still men like these who can face those in power and speak the truth to them.

This is so wrong. Very unislamic way of talking to the leaders. Nobody does this except someone who lack knowledge and adab.

There are ways prescribed to call leaders to order and this is not part of it. May Allah rectify us. Ameen
Imam Offa: if you check well, he may be having a grudge with someone in attendance.

He doesn't sound like this most often. Only Muhideen Bello do this with consistency.
This is why I value Yoruba Islamic preachers. Their preoccupation is to speak truth to power and truth to the people. They are daring in that way.

The cleric dished out bitter truth nd swears but see how they (politicians admonished) were all laughing? Shows how little the words could possibly influence them. After that gathering they've forgotten. Till there's severe penalty(ies) for anyone would does such, they won't stop
