This is a small issue, same thing happened to me in my residence at onitsha.
Use the following effective guidelines :
1. Warn them- if cautioning them yield no results then
2. Report to the street head - if this doesn't work then
3. Go to any electronic shop and get the biggest, loudest and noisiest speaker you can find.
4. Install those speakers directly at the church building
5. Anytime the church holds any program and you feel your peace is being threatened.
6. Put on your music(especially music with deep bass and lewd lyrics)
7. Increase the volume to the highest.
8. Watch that church flee from your area or control their noise.

Redeem don't run services concurrently like this, I think this is an attempt to make their presence known and all.

No wahala, let Christmas pass and let's see if they would continue or stop.

Compliments of the season!

Hoping that they will stop the nuisance is like expecting to see a ship at the airport.

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 you are lucky I have 3 behind me ,never knew I will live with it.they conduct weekly n Sunday services. You need to see competition but I raised my concern and some one tried to twist it that am fighting the spread of the gospel.

@Op you and your neighbours are gentle oh. I remember back then in school na so one new generation church dey disturb us everyday for night. Na so we plan them, everyone in my lodge donates their speakers in the night and connect to my theather for night. I would start streaming better blue film, highest volume for that matter. the pastor could not concentrate every night , he had to relocate within two weeks. adopt that method or report to the authorities in charge .

Politely talk to them about it, if they refuse report to the police. How can people be disturbing others in the name of their religion.

Churches are the most troublesome group of people when you talk about disregarding the existence of others in their religious activities.

The way they shout as if nobody else lives in the same environment or as if God won't hear them if they reduce their voice, is sickening.

If you complain, you are automatically labelled evil who their prayers are tormenting.

I advice the Op to approach the nearest court and get an injunction.

The only place you can visit is nesrea. National environmental standards and regulations enforcement Agency. They are in charge of noise pollution and any other environmental problem in the country. The reason is that, they have a regulation that deals with issue of noise pollution called noise pollution control. They also have a standards on the level if noise in a particular place be it residential or industrial. They have solve many issues like this which I know about it. So, contact them through their state offices or at their headquarters.

Honestly it's just too bad. There is one behind my house. They bought the building, unknown to us we didn't know it's for church. Mehn see how these pastors and their members disturb people's sleep. All through lastnight I couldn't sleep. I was like what kind of problem is this? angry

Is it by force to advertise church even at midnight? Is day time not enough? What kind of wickedness is this? Disturbing people's rest. angry
I virtually slept around 5am. cry honestly we all need to lay complains to. Ambode. This is becoming too much to bear. It's pure wickedness!
Any church with Loud speakers outside should be closed down! Haba
They will claim they are saving souls.. Saving souls my foot!
It's pure Evil!

I have experienced something like that in Abuja.


I walked up the pastor and complained to him how the noise was disturbing US and they all concluded that I am possessed. They said the power in their praises was tormenting the demon that possessed me and that was why I feel uncomfortable when they sing.

I didn't say anything again.

I simply went to the market and bought a Tecno phone. I think it was a T series. the one that have big speaker at the bottom side of it.

people that have used the phone can attest to the loudness of the speaker.

I loaded a 4G memory card with all Terry G's song and waited for the next Sunday service


On that day, I charged the phone to the fullest and placed it on the window that's closes to the Pastor.

I waited for them to be silent before I played Terry G's free madness.

The pastor was on my door before I could play half of themusic that I loaded on the phone.

Guess what...... he was the one calling for peace.

There should be consideration for other people in whatever one is doing. The greatest commandment is to love God and love your neighbour like you love yourself.

The issue of noise pollution especially when it concerns religious centres can be likened to a nauseating insect that is perched on the scrotum. To put it succinctly, it's a vexing conundrum, and the fact that most of this christian companies lack content and genuineness compounds the travesty. I'll suggest you approach the people responsible for the noise and explain how its disturbing you, chances are they might misunderstand you and label you an agent of the devil; or they may just realize how discomforting their noise has become and reduce it. It's a shame that our society is yet to grasp just how terrible noise pollution is and its adverse effects such as forced insomnia, hearing disorders, listlessness etc. When we eventually understand the danger that noise pollution poses to our health even your neighbour wont need you to remind him to lower his stereo

I don't subscribe to the saying that there's nothing you can do. There are steps in which you can take to sort it out. First report to the CDA or CDC chairman verbally and in print. If the issue is not resolved write the ministry of environment in your state.

From my own experience wot i did was that i warned them not to put their speakers outside to disturb d neighbourhood. Secondly, itz a matter of reporting to d police or better stil look for a lawyers to scare them by giving them a court injunction for noise pollution. we r in a civilized world now, dont be scare to express urself or get intimidated by some pple who feel u dnt know ur right. mind you i am a christian but where is it written in the bible that Jesus christ used his ministry to disturb people .

The only thing you can do, is to soundproof your home if you can afford, as the soundproof recording studios to prevent any noise that may interfere with recording.It can be very expensive though but if you can afford, that would be your option.
