Lagos state government warns mosque and churches in d state of disturbing the environment with noise

Lagosboy:

Does this include the adhan?

Abuzola:

If fashola is truly a muslim like he claimed during election he should get the scope of adhan and not Eyo festival

Governor Fashola declared, . "Here I am, a Muslim, my father is a Muslim, my mother is Anglican, my wife is Catholic and my siblings are of the pentecostal faith”, adding that the issue must be separated from sentiment and emotion.

muhsin:

If it includes Ahdan then the thing is not well thought of. Its rather a senseless act, for Ahdan doesn't normally last for more than 3 mins. maximum.

davidylan:

but it would have been "well thought of" and "sensible" if he had simply restricted it to churches right?

muhsin:

Did I say this?

$osisi:

Do you mean that loud noise from mosques early in ethe morning.
I hope Fashola has banned it too.
Do you know how annoying it is to be dreaming of someone about to dash you money and suddenly you're woken up to reality by a loudspeaker from a Mosque without receiving the money.

About time!

People need to stop taking the fucking piss in the name of religion

And this applies to all religions who dont show and have never shown consideration for other people's desire for peace and serenity!

[b]you no go kill person with laughter this woman. wetin we do you?[/b]if u tot lagos was bad try ibadan. you will hear their noise right inside the church service as early as 6am

muhsin:

On serious note; why should I care? But be very sincere you yourself; who disturbs people most between Muslim mosques and Christian churches? The latter, of course, with all your hymns, doxologies, canticle and the likes, which are accompanied with either heavy claps and/or musics. Be fair and just. It costs nothing to be so.

muhsin:

But we Muslims do mostly only call for prayers, i.e. ahdan. Though some mosques render other "services" like recitation of the Holy Qur'an, studying hadith and the likes. All these don't require the use of microphone and ample fires.

muhsin:

Moreover, Lagos is a Muslims majority state.

$osisi:

I hope you don't grow bia bia and change your stance

Brashy wont look sexy in bia bia!

muhsin:

A fortune, future or mind teller? I don't know which name would suitably describe your action, David.

@No2Atheism: Lagos is not based on the number of churches and not on the what I will refer to "Awon Omo atowun rewa." Thats yoruba idiom for you. If you don't know the meaning better ask somebody.

But I will give you an example: In Ibadan, the Ijebus are so many that they have significance in that ancient "village." The rose through the rank of chieftancy to "almost" become an "Olubadan." Have they? No. Do the indigenous Ibadan agree that the ijebus in Ibadan are Ibadan people? No, regardless of how many generations they may be. Ibadans are truly by bloodline history. So the Ijebus will always be traced back to outside Ibadan, city, towns and villages (Ijebuland) on the way to Lagos.

Do you get it now? Lagos belong to those who have real Lagos blood. Not the transcients. At the end of the day, their family names betray their origin. Its like being a new yorker. It belongs to those Mayflower people.

If Lagos is not Islamic city, I wonder if Ibadan is, or if Ijebu Ode is, etc? Or if Epe or Ikorodu is?
