The Founder of Mount Zion Faith Ministries, Pastor Mike Bamiloye, has criticized some female ministers for prioritizing frequent ministry travels over their marital responsibilities, leaving their husbands to struggle alone.
In a Facebook post on Monday, Bamiloye lamented that these women often abandon their husbands to manage local churches alone while they travel extensively for ministrations.
He highlighted how these ministers enjoy luxurious accommodations and lavish meals provided by their hosts, while their husbands endure loneliness and isolation at home.
“There is a class of female ministers who never stay home with their husbands.

“They travel everywhere, staying in hotels and suites as they minister, enjoying the best of sumptuous meals provided by their hosts, while their husbands remain at home, managing the local church alone”, he wrote.
Bamiloye further pointed out that when such husbands raise concerns or attempt to set boundaries, they are often accused of suppressing their wives’ visions and callings.
He added, “They can be away on ministrations for two or three months, ‘preaching’ the gospel around the world, while their husbands languish at home, relying on cousins, nephews, or housemaids for meals.
“When the husband tries to stop them or reduce their frequent ‘mission’ trips, they accuse him of killing their visions and suppressing their callings.”
He also criticized the practice of these ministers publicly praising their husbands during sermons, saying, “I bring you greetings from my husband, the owner of my head, the payer of my dowry, without whom I would not be here today. He sends his warm greetings,’ even while the man is suffering in loneliness at home.”
