Sealing them is not enough.

They should move in the bulldozers.

Enough of the mockery termed religious worship.

God is not deaf.

It's on the website of the regulator. The last time I checked, it was 42decibel or so but check to confirm.

There's a free app, Sound Meter, I use to measure it whenever we need to discharge messages out during evangelism.

As a personal value system, I really genuinely feel it's abhorrent to use your own sound to the discomfort of others. Both Bible and Quran preach to its faithfuls to live at peace with our neighbours and respect the authorities. As a Lagosian,I particularly carry the burden to comply with this law so others just coming to Lagos will know that we are law abiding in Lagos.

Let's support Lagos state Government to curb noise pollution please. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Chai, does that mean the pastors in those churches will not generate income tomorrow?

Because, we all know those centres are set up for business purposes.

As I read some comments here, I laughed 😂🤣🤣.
Those that head the Noise pollution unit are Deacon, Pastors and pastors' wives, Alfas, Alhaja and ardent religious. So, those saying stigmatization of religion cannot be more religious than those mentioned.

The laws were sign some years ago, as a treaty which Nigeria is a party to it. Lagos state is just enforcing it.

Keep quiet my friend. I am an ardent student of church history and the early Christians did not constitute a nuisance like Nigeria brand of Christian.
Most Christians in Nigeria have nothing to do with God to start with.
Stop noise polution or be prosecuted.

OBEY THE LAW!

Correct. Next step. Followed by those who deliberately block the streets or roads in the guise of praying to their god which in truth is to intimidate people and send a subtle signal of dominance.

The games are over.

You don't understand.
What you consider as Noise Pollution, may not be NP for some others. So in enforcing the Law, they must clearly state the allowed Noise Levels & some other criteria for NP.
