If it is Port Harcourt , there is nothing you can do. But if it is Lagos, you can petition the ministry of environment, and justice will be done.

So, our close used to be the most serene place I know, now this church just moved into a building behind mine and they have had like 3 services since yesterday. We cannot live peacefully again with all the instruments and noise and FYI, we have a church in our close and we don't even hear from them save on Sundays, they don't disturb at all.

What authorities can one report this to that would be swift to act.

This is madness!

I am a liberal and I never read anywhere in the Bible where Jesus or any of the apostle for that matter disturb people to pass their message.

Who has had similar experience and how did you handle this?

@Op, Well there was a similar story some years back in orile area of Lagos.
There was a church building beside this man's building and they were giving the man and his family a serious nightmare. So what the man did was he went to Alaba International and bought a special speaker called AHIJO or some name like that, he mounted the powerful speaker by his balcony rail facing the church building, and connected the speaker to his powerful home theater. So on the first Sunday after fixing the speaker, the church started their usual Sunday service, then the man went on and played a song titled OSONDI OWENDI by OSITA OSADEBE, and turned the volume to the highest, and whitin some minutes some members of the church went to the Man's house trying to talk to him, but he refused to see them, he made sure they could not achieve anything in that church on that very Sunday.

Then the next day some church members returned to the man's house, and that was when the man told them the reason for his actions, and told them to stop disturbing him or he will continue to play his music every other Sunday.
That was it and it worked like magic.

So i suggest you try the same method, and i can assure you it will work for you perfectly just like that man.

Give it a go and please share your testimony here.

Good luck!

Am waiting to see if you'll get help. The church beside ours is been there for 3 yrs in fact I can't come to Nigeria with my family this Christmas.
I was in Nigeria, March of this year and it was terrible, these people will pray till 11:20 pm. Many times am woken up by the noise and can't go back to bed. Called & sent several e-mails to Lasepa but nothing has been done till now.

I am going thru the same shit right now. They are right beside my house with their AHUJA speakers sticking out facing my window. The mjsvroom church hall can barely contain 20 people so what do they need a public address system for? Sometimes they hold night vigils for 40 days and continue shouting in the morning till 10am.

I have done eveything possible to make them reduce the volume of their microphones and speakers in the dead of the night to no avail. Thd worst of it all, I cant even find any soft side to it: at least one can resolve to fall asleep with their music but, their voices are so discordant like toads and frogs. They sing like they are drunk, making the whole experience so frustrating. And to think that neighbours do not want to talk for fear that God will get angry with them.

Can Jesus do this to anybody? Can he then encourage anyone to keep others awake against their will? What can I do? The pastor seems to have a special privilege to violate my right to live and sleep peacefully in a quiet environment.

I am helpless

Hello. You can report to the Lagos Ministry of environment via their watsapp channel. Pic below

Or send an sms or watsapp msg only(no calls) on 08099183777
Or call on 09095555580 and 09095555878
Or send an Email: info@moelagos.gov.ng , publicaffairs@moelagos.gov.ng

I myself reported a church to them. They came to demolish the church but everyone was begging. I was angry when I heard. I have been sending countless messages but they are oblivious. I hope they help you.

Please let me know how it turns out

Nothing. Condition your mind to enjoy the so called noise as a way of sanitizing the spiritual atmosphere in your area. Take it as a pleasure and a privilege.

You are complaining because you haven't lived close to a mosque.
Re: What Can I Do About Noise Pollution By A Church? by blackfase(m): 8:30pm On Dec 24, 2016
There's legislation against it in Lagos if you reside in lag. Search for LASEPA's numbers or social media handles and report. They seal up these places periodically....

Re: What Can I Do About Noise Pollution By A Church? by naptu2: 8:31pm On Dec 24, 2016
Lasepa has taken action against lots of churches, mosques, music stores, hotels and factories that have been engaged in noise pollution and there are many nairaland threads about those incidents, so I'll encourage you to complain, because the system works.

what? why should you suffer like that because of a church?

Don't contact anybody because nothing will be done.

Just check my post, the second post before your post and use that method, its the best way to deal with them.

Good luck
