One mistake one could make is residing near a Church, mosque or an event centre...
One would be lucky to be sane during one's rent duration.
OP, I don't think you can do anything about it. Just consider moving out atleast you got yur sanity intact.

My advice: Make a strict complaint to the church prime members. Should they refuse to respect your person, burn down the church undecided

Ever heard of Nuisance, get a lawyer and sue them, the law provides you with a right to enjoy your land and property and where anyone interferes with this right you can go ahead to institute an action against them.

Re: Advice Needed: Neighboring Church Noise by dabeto: 9:36am On Dec 17, 2017
In Lagos state there is law regulating public noise and there is an agency that handles such complaints. Check if you have such law in your state and there's an agency handling that.
If there is one, report to agency for action. If there's none, form an advocacy group. Get a copy of what Lagos State has and present it to your state House of Assembly for them to adopt and enact it into law.
By your inconvenience, God might use you to solve the common problem of the people.
Caveat: if you have a road side recording studio as business and you position your speaker outside to attract customers, don't try it because the law will make you a victim grin

Dear All,

Please no bashing!

I am located at uyo, akwaibom and am staying besides a church that won't allow me rest in quiet.
Day and night, they have services which is not an issue to me.
THE PROBLEM IS, THEY HAVE A MEGAPHONE THAT MAKES LOADS OF NOISE KEEPING ME FROM SLEEP AND GIVING ME CONTINOUS HEADACHE as I can't sleep with all the noise.
I HAVE ASKED THEM TO TURN DOWN THE VOLUME OR RELOCATE THE MEGAPHONE TO NO AVAIL.
I AM A CHRISTIAN, AND FEEL ITS WRONG TO INFORM THE POLICE ABOUT THIS.... WHAT CAN I DO TO RESOLVE THIS PLEASE.
The first thing I look for when I want to buy or rent a flat is the presence of a church/mosque..... If I see any, I run

My guy, I learned this while living with my uncle. As you have warned them to stop and they don't want to hear, buy your own megaphone, a bigger one if you can. As them don start their noise, you sef play Olamide's Wo and Small Doctor's Penalty on repeat, make them go call police. I've come to conclusion that Nigerians are mad from birth. You have to treat their madness with madness, forget being a Christian. Your sanity is more important, because I assure you one day you'll run mad if you keep doing this to yourself.
good advice. grin

If am not mistaken, the church was there before you parked in. So get use to it just like your co-tenants have done too.
this is like sayinh:

Slavery existed before a person was born, so he should get used to it like the other slaves have

People should not be made to get used to inconveniences. I cannot be paying house rent and a bunch of noise makers will be disturbing my peace in the name of Church.

what you are experiencing is refer to as Tort of Nuisance in law and it is actionable per se. However, certain elements will need to be considered: The Location of the church, weather the church is located in a residential area or a remote or public place where noisy activities are allow. Another element to considered is weather the church has been in the place before your house. If the aforementioned conditions are in your favoured, then you have every right to complain. What you need to do is to write them officially and tell them how their activities are constituting disturbance and inconvenient to your right of private enjoyment. If they refuse to change, then go get a court injunction and serve them.

Re: Advice Needed: Neighboring Church Noise by Nobody: 10:16am On Dec 17, 2017
My own question is this. Since everyone has a right to religion, and churches feel it is right for them to use big megaphone to disturb the neighborhood at night and yet people living in the neighborhood won't complain. So what will happen if a traditionalist also decides to carry out his own meeting at night and puts a megaphone in front of his shrine and start making all the eriwooo yaaa, Aya gbo aya to Aya je Aya mu... Eyin iya mi oshoronga with all Bata drums. I'm sure people in the neighborhood won't sleep. But if there's nothing wrong in churches using their night vigils to disturb, I see nothing wrong in that either.

I will try this when next I am home and cannot get some peace and quietness.


For me, the annoying part is when they start disturbing the neighbourhood as early as 4am

U don't have any choice than to report the issue to the police. It's either they relocate or change the direction of their megaphone. I still prefer u report to the police Sha!!!

Nigerian police will show you signs and wonders, truth is Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria. If it is your personal house then get a lawyer to write to the church, if its rented just start looking for another house to move to.

One terrorist from another Religion advised you to burn down the church. In the north, neighbouring mosques use massive loud speakers from 3 a.m. If it's north even heavy military barracks can't stop them. If Muslims block road during prayers and nobody complains . I suggest the church should use more heavy microphone too. I am a Hausa Christian from Kano.
