The Federal and State Governments in Nigeria should emulate the directives of the Kaduna State Governor El Rufai, below. There is need of an enforced Bill for religious practise reform and public sanity.

Religious practices in Nigeria has fast deteriorated. Moreso with these so-called new age churches with unbearable loud playing drums, instruments, music with external and internal speakers, with wreckless abandon and impunity. Advertising their ignorance and emptiness (empty vessels make loud noise - the emptier in the holy spirit, the louder they get) at the expense of neighbors and the general public.

Totally illegal and unethical display of gross irresponsibilty and sheer lunacy. Maybe their God is DEAF... too bad. You cannot worship at your neighbor's expense and peace. It is unGodly.

These worship centers actions, behaviors and noise pollution is abominable, dismal, grossly irresponsible, selfish, irritating, annoying, inconsiderate, abusive, noisely terrorising, exploitative, deceptive, dishonorable, repelling, criminal, violent, murderous, uncontrolable, unregarding, unholy, scamming, fraudulent, illiterate-infested, unethical, immoral, most importantly a cesspool of noise-pollution nuisance, neighborhood and community disregarding, a bombastic hulabaloo.

They are reputedly notorious for disobeying the teachings of the bible which they profess. In this instance, the book of Matthew chapter 6, teaches that:

6. ''But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
7. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
8. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name, ...

So what God are they praying to? Surely not the Living God. They only make unprecedented noise advertsing their worship center business for the sake of unholy profit.

It should also be made unlawful that no worship center be established within 100 metres of a residential home, and not more than one within the space of 3 streets combined.

License to preach should only be granted to graduates of bonafide and accredited religious institutions with approved and endorsed certificates from such institutions.

Worship buildings must be approved prior to construction by the commissioner's offices for lands, housing and survey statewide, with commercial and residential zoning edicts instituted and enforced. Structures of new and existing violators should be destroyed.

A designated complaint hotline with phone numbers should be made available and texts/ calls investigated. A complainant need not come or write to any office to be heard. It promotes delay of justice.

Today 2016, the call for worship by mosques using external speakers should also be banned. It is also noise pollution. Besides everyone today have access to alarm clocks, watches or phones which can be set accordingly.

If the Bill is passed by the national or respective state house of assembly, customary courts should prosecute all violators with fines ranging from N250,000 or 2 years jail term.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!
All must live and co-exist responsibly under the rule of law or pay the price.

Worship Responsibly!

Relegating it to religion alone is witch-hunt. There are numerous sources of noise pollution in the land and all should be held accountable. From churches/mosques/worships to vehicles to bars and clubs to parties to shops to people and neighbours; any sound level above the recommended decibels in residential areas should be cautioned.

even you !!!!!, you are a noise maker.

jcross19:
even you !!!!!, you are a noise maker.

No qualms.
Opinions are like assholes...everyone has one.

I also suggest you check the dictionary definition of 'noise'.

So how does this improve the exchange rate of the naira?

How does it improve the living standard of the masses?

How does it stop our politicians(El-rufai included) from milking us dry?

Has this bill stopped power holding from increasing energy bill without commensurate power supply?

Has it stoped FG from cutting #50 from our accounts even without carrying out any transaction?

Elrufai should please send a bill to the house stating that any governor that embezles or misappropriates state fund SHALL BE STONED TO DEATH!!!

cckris:
Regulate how people worship their God?

How is that the business of Govt?

1. When it constitutes noise pollution nuisance.
2. When it disturbs the public and neighbors peace.

Religiously, for christians, CAN should also make it their business when it violates and misrepresents the directives of the Bible stated in the book of Matthew and mentioned above.

Each one has a right to worship as chosen, but that right stops when its at the expense of the peace of the neighbor or environ.

Take out just a lil time to read.

Be informed.

Agreed, and the governor addressed the bars, shops, music peddlers etc in the other write up.

Focus on religion is because by scriptural teachings, guidelines, references, etc, worship centers should know better, living by example; been Christ-like.

If Jesus walked the face of the earth today, will he condone arbitrary noise pollution nuisance by these worship centers or condemn it?

What stinks, stinks; air-freshners are 'band-aid measures'.
The stench remains there.

Apples are not grapes.

True, the state of the economy sucks. However, if seeming 'trivial' issues of noise pollution nuisance (which is by no means trivial, as it has serious economic, social, psychological, mental, medical, etc implications) is not or cannot be addressed and nipped in the bud by government, they are bound to and should be anticipated to fail on bigger issues of governance.

You don't start to climb a tree from the top. You must learn to dot the (i) and cross the (t).

cckris:
hell-Rufai, in your Govt, within eight months, 705 injudiciously sentenced Nigerian CITIZENS, all Shiite Youths, were MASSACRED. Now you're targeting the Christian Church.
This is too heavy a spiritual load for one man.

keep things in context please.

Are the perpetrators of the act of noise pollution nuisance, the church inclusive, innocent?


If you want a discuss of Shites, etc, create a post for it.
