Little wonder you speak the way you do! You can only appreciate spiritual things by faith. It is foolishness to those who are perishing
1 Corinthians 1:18-19
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

Don't quote your nonsense bible to me. Religion is the greatest enemy of mankind.

Tighter regulation of religious groups doesn't lead to extremism. On the contrary, it promotes secularism. Communist states were usually hostile to religion, and there is less religious conflict in places like Russia or China. Rwanda's President has passed laws cracking down on religious groups in the country and it hasn't led to any extremism. Rwanda is probably Africa's most peaceful country today.

Nigeria is different from those other countries...

Was it not the same bill that made pastor Suleiman predict death for el-rufai about 4 years ago and el-Rufai challenged him to specify the exact date of his death?

Why is this pastor just raking it up again?

Na lie you are not, you are a church goer and it doesn't make you a Christian my dear. The soul of Christianity is evangelism and it was even done at the market places in the bible. If you doubt me go and study the book of Acts of the Apostles.

The founder of Liberation City, Pastor Chris Okafor, has warned Kaduna State Governor to avoid persecuting Christians and preachers in the state or risk the wrath of God.

The preacher gave El-Rufai seven days to reverse bill at the state House of Assembly to license religious bodies or would be visited by God.

The bill proposes that any person found guilty of preaching without a valid licence and other offences under the law “shall be liable to two years in prison or pay a fine of N200, 000.”

Under this new edict, the government seeks to create an inter-faith Ministerial Committee to be appointed by the governor which will exercise control over Jama’atu Nasril Islam, JNI, and the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN.

The bill ensures that the ministerial committee shall issue licenses to religious bodies without which the body cannot preach.
It also stipulates that no external preacher can preach in Kaduna without a permit.

Speaking on the development, the cleric in a video shared on his wall on Monday night described El-Rufai as Herod, who cannot withstand the wrath of God.

In his words: “The God we serve is not a dead God, he is alive, and alive to fight for Himself. If El-Rufai refuses to reverse or change the law, let him start to prepare for the wrath of God.”
“Within two years of his re-election , God will visit him. So, it is better he listens to advise before it’s too late,” the Pastor also known as, “ The Oracle of God said.

This is exactly what the world doesn't like about Muslims. When they are in minority they require special status but once they are in majority they do away with existing laws and impose their religion for others to follow. That is why there is rising hate crime against them in the west cos people now see them for who they are. If elrufai had passed a bill banning display of loudspeakers outside religious buildings then fine, but the whole idea of doing it to churches and requesting permission to preach especially from pastors outside the state is nothing but a subtle jihad. The constitution gives people the right to freely move around and associate within Nigeria. U can pass laws that ban noise pollution in your state don't limit it to churches.

This is how hitlers genocide started. He took away the Jews freedom of speech, associations and rights to gather in a crowd. They needed permits to exercise their rights. After a while, permits were stopped completely.

Don’t mind them. They praised Rwanda president’s action making a degree in theology minimum qualification for you to preach, yet criticized Kaduna government that want to set up a religious body to regulate practice of religions

To hell with the church and the mosque combined. What I however detest is injustice, human right abuses and stifling of free speech.
EVERY Nigerian citizen has the right to preach whatever the Fvck he likes , this is an attack on free speech and I am not having it.
May el rufai die in his sleep.

That was how Boko Haram came about. Enjoying freedom to preach religious extremism.

Many of you think that freedom is limitless. You do not understand that we also have the law which ensures to check our freedom and establish limits.

Yes, there is freedom, but this freedom is still decided by the law, which means you can't really do what you like.

You can't just take a drive or walk in the middle night just because you feel like?

What is this Pastor saying? If he doesn't like, he should go to the neighbouring state .

This bill has been in the pipeline for a while and it's to bring Sanity to Kaduna.

It's even the Muslim clerics that will be most affected as well as those who play Muslim sermon indiscriminately in their cars.

I remembered Pastor Suleiman telling El rufai that he will die when the proposal first came out and nothing happened till date .

Africans, don't let foreign religions cause hatred between you and your brothers .

The Constitution stipulated freedom of thought, speech and religion hence overrides this Kaduna state law. If one is arrested for preaching the gospel, it can be contested in the temple of justice. Chikena.

As for me i see nothing wrong with this excellent bill. Christianity especially needs to be regulated with iron hand. The nuisance of Christianity abound in almost every street of the federation. What fvcking message are you people evangelising that several lunatics just wake up and set up churches even in shops disturbing the peace of neighbors with loud speakers spewing thrash called preaching. Christianity has been abused by useless men parading as preachers and present day Christianity makes people dumb and zombiefied in nature. If not how can a sane Human being believe that Adeboye drove to Lagos with empty tank? How can someone with functional brain believe that Adeboye and God drank tea together? How can people still follow Oyedepo blindly despite his partisanship and obvious interest in frolicking with thieving politicians? How has religion helped the average poor Nigerian? The north has the highest population of poor people despite praying five times daily. The Christians keeps attending Shiloh, Redeem Camp e.t.c yearly but no meaningful changes occurs in their lives while their mega pastors keeps building universities, estates and enjoying worldly riches. Pastor enjoying material things in life and telling you to make heaven for your own enjoyment. Are you not super dumb? While Islam and other religions has their flaws, i think every state should follow the Kaduna model by reforming and licensing those mentally deranged bastards parading as pastors/imams.

Have you heard the mosques crying five times a day with loud noisy preaching? Does this bill affect them, too? Also an environmental bill because of the water and saliva used to clean themselves.
