Pastor Newman under fire for saying God asked late Osinachi to remain in an abusive marriage

Nigerians are visibly angry with Newman’s rather ‘insensitive’ reaction to what the late Osinachi went through.

In reaction to the sad death of popular Nigerian minister, singer Osinachi Nwachukwu due to domestic abuse from her husband, another pastor by the name Newman has expressed his own angle to the viral story.

WITHIN NIGERIA had reported how the late singer’s husband cultivated the habit of maltreating her which led to her untimely death.

For the cleric, he believes people should do away with the criticism surroundings the untimely death of Nwachukwu’s perhaps it is God that told her to remain in the abusive marriage.

According to pastor Newman, Sister Osinachi suffered and died, in the Lord. He wrote:

“Away from the criticisms surrounding her death, whether she should have left the marriage or not, we don’t know what God told her…

Whether God asked her to remain in the marriage or not will only be revealed in eternity… someone would say “God cannot say that”, Really? Well done Jehovah’s classmate.
Brethren, That was her own cup of suffering… For everyone has his own portion of suffering for the sake of Christ!

If you dodge your own cup of suffering, you may not receive the WELL DONE reward.
“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” 2 Tim. 3:12
Let us cry for ourselves.”

Netizens are however not having it, as they went ahead to lambast the pastor, calling him all sorts of names including being a wife beater. See some comments below:
