 "If your husband slaps you down and you call the cops, you are evil" – Pastor calls women evil for calling police on their husbands A pastor has sparked outrage after describing women who call the police when physically assaulted by their husbands as "evil" and accusing them of harming their spouses. In a sermon, the pastor said a woman who reports her husband to the police after he slaps her is doing something wicked. He criticised Cassandra McMurtry, a pastor's wife, for advising women experiencing physical abuse to seek help and report it to the authorities. The pastor described the advice as "unbiblical trash" and argued that women should remain with their husbands even when they are bad spouses, citing biblical teachings on submission and marriage. He also warned women against recording their husbands during disputes or reporting them to the police, claiming such actions could damage their reputations, cost them their jobs and expose them to the ...

  TUC, PENGASSAN Protest at Finance Ministry Over Unpaid Pensions, Allowances


Members of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) staged a protest on Tuesday at the Federal Ministry of Finance in Abuja, demanding the payment of pension, allowance arrears, and other emoluments for workers. The protesters, dressed in red T-shirts and wielding placards, locked the ministry’s gate, preventing vehicles from entering or leaving and forcing workers to turn back.


TUC Secretary General, Nuhu Toro, explained that the protest was prompted by the ministry’s withholding of internally generated revenue (IGR) from the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA), which funds workers’ salaries, pensions, and allowances. “We are here because of withheld IGR accrued to the NNRA, and we are finding it difficult to reconcile why. Their contemporaries in the same sector have been paid,” Toro said. He noted that the withheld funds have left workers and pensioners unpaid, exacerbating financial strain amid inflation and the eroded value of the N70,000 minimum wage.


Toro disclosed that the Minister of Finance had approved the payments following discussions with the Permanent Secretary, but the TUC would only suspend the protest until Wednesday, May 21, 2025, pending confirmation of the disbursements. “The Honourable Minister of Finance has graciously granted approval today. The Permanent Secretary has assured us that the approval will translate into naira and kobo within a very reasonable time,” he stated.


Addressing the protesters, Permanent Secretary for Special Duties, Raymond Omachi, assured that the payments would be processed within 48 hours. “I have heard your grievances, and I have reached out to the Minister of Finance and the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, who has given me approval to ensure that what you are looking for is paid,” Omachi said. “In the next 48 hours, you will receive your payments. Your voice has been heard, and we will not disappoint you.”


The protesters agreed to allow ministry staff access to the premises to facilitate the payment process. The TUC plans to reconvene and reassess the situation on Wednesday to determine whether to resume the protest or call it off, depending on the fulfillment of the ministry’s commitment.
