This menace is so rampant in Lagos that you almost feel uncomfortable anyday you mistaking or by happenstance join the public transport. Molue is the mobile headquarter. Civilian and danfo buses are branches. In the above mentioned buses, it is always dual cases. It's either you find someone selling unregistered drugs or one yelling on top of his/her voice preaching. For how long will this madness last?

Thank God for Fashola who put a slap on their faces by stopping that in BRT/Lag Buses. With the ban, you will still find someone beside you playing a song from his phone or a terrible bus driver playing music.

All these constitute public nuisance. I don't think Christ himself encouraged disturbing the peace of the environment. Why doing it on his behalf?
it has been going on like forever mate
Re: Evangelism In Public Buses Is Madness by alienvirus: 4:11pm On Nov 19, 2011
To cap the madness up, the preacher would do everything possible to turn the bus into semi-church. Praying, singing songs of praise, not caring if someone is being disturbed or not. It must be 10 yrs in jail henceforth

I am of the opinion that religion should be banned from public/government setting, that is, Religion should be banned from public schools except in religious subjects like CRK and IRK which should be optional. Religion should also be banned from government TV stations and radio stations, it should only be gotten on paid TV like adult channels. Laws should be made to stop people from preaching in the bus; a preacher can talk to someone, one-on-one but not in a form of public announcement. Laws should also be made such that Churches and Mosque should have limits in residential and business districts, they should also be forced to have sound proof walls and should be stopped from having loud speakers that will cause noise pollution.

I am a Christian, at least by birth but it is annoying when I hear every prayer point tabled by a church 500m away from my house.

true talk. At least it engulfs all. I'm not in support of the so called bus preaching, but what won't take it those fUrKiNG MUSLIMS spitting on my grave!
Re: Evangelism In Public Buses Is Madness by tunde233(m): 4:54pm On Nov 19, 2011
When Muslim wakes you up with their sound from their loudspeakers at 5am,
no peace was disturbed?  Nigerians are tolerant which is a good virtue.

When we flew to Turkey. Right inside the Plane we sang praises to our God
who took us there safely. Mind you, Turkey is more Islamic.

No one can force you to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ but it is safer for you
to listen to whatever speech that is been made. You could gain something even
from the person you considered to be a Dumb Fool.

Lest I forget, your salvation is dependent on the gospel. So I advise
you not only to listen with rapt attention but to respond to the call of God.

I preach often in buses. I am grateful to God who had saved someone when
I preached even in the Bus. May be God will use me to save you whenever
we enter the same bus, I am looking ahead to see you saved.

so u're one of the people constututing the nuisance we are looking for angry

If i may ask u, why must you disturbe someone with your faith if u are tolerant enough to consider that not all the passengers are Xtian and not all want to be disturbe?

Why must you adopt that backward approach to preach your one sided opinion on diverse people, are you tolerant enough to allow Imam to start spitting what u consider fausehood judging by your belief? am sure u will never like it,

Do unto others what you want them do unto you, that what your gospel says,  and stop constituting nuisance in the public domain.

Pls try and safe urself before saving others as that is the rule of wearing the oxygen mask on urself first before helping others, if u understand what am saying.

Its funny how the xtains here are talking, I am a christain but i find preaching in public transport irritating. Xtain means christ like but christ only preached in the synagogue(church) or out of town, he never went to the market to disturb the peace of the people.
For those complaining about boko haram, Jesus said you should turn the other cheek, he also said revenge is for God.

No way. No god ,even if he is blind ,could have called such a figure judging by all standard jabbering from both sides of his mouth.
Re: Evangelism In Public Buses Is Madness by manny4life(m): 9:02pm On Nov 19, 2011
Freedom of Speech and Religion is a damn bit.ch, mmmmm

Although I've not seen this but I'll sure like to know how terrible this is. This is not freedom of speech but public nuisance. IMO freedom of speech is only guaranteed when you're not invading someone else "private space", but the bus is not a private place, it's public so y'all should deal with it though it's unacceptable. Unless, it's specifically written "do not disturb" or otherwise and as long as your speech is not causing any harm (inciting, provocative or offensive) to anyone else , then I think though irritating but a norm accepted by the society. However, since your preaching is causing other harm (not necessarily body harm), but discomfort, etc, then that's public nuisance, then again, we all have to deal with it.

After all, if you get on the train, you'll hear all these people with music on blaring without no headphones meanwhile it clearly says "no music without headphones", they are public nuisance, period and if you report them to the train operator (which is rare), they can escort them off the train or metro system. Freedom of Speech has limitations, even our court system has recognized that.
Re: Evangelism In Public Buses Is Madness by numo86(m): 9:11pm On Nov 19, 2011
While i love preachn its important we take d heart conditions of people into consideration, d truth is if Jesus existed on earth today he wil never preach out loud in buses, he will not face loud speakers to d publik to disturb d peace of others while tryin to dispense his message, infact Jesus was against showy preachins and prayers, he condemned d pharisees who did that, always wantin to pray out loud for people to hear in publik places, there are guidelines and principles guidin christianity,but many jus dont want to follow it, in a bus filled wit muslims,traditional worshipers and atheists it is best we use discernment in tryin to spread d gospel, it'l make more sense if 1 singled out an interested person in d bus n start a discussion and makin sure it doesnt disturb others,just as Jesus tactfully spoke to d samaritan woman by d well, rather than shoutin n prayin in a publik bus, that constitutes to nuisance,
The truth in watever way we try to preach d word let it not end up bein an object of abuse and a stumbling block to those who wuld rili wanna listen, lets be tactful, this is to all professed christians
Re: Evangelism In Public Buses Is Madness by ngozianu(m): 9:35pm On Nov 19, 2011

push the preachers and drug sellers down when the bus is moving, but remember that the preachers were showing you the way to heaven, period

How people feel comfortable with every other activities apart from messages that will benefit their souls. shocked

Even if the person preaching is doing it with wrong motives, the word of God is still powerful to save.

Very soon people will wish that they can hear the message of salvation again but it would have been too late.

SO you're saying you'd have no complaints if churches are suddenly built around your house and they hold very loud all nite midnight vigils every blessed day?
Re: Evangelism In Public Buses Is Madness by PHIPEX(m): 11:02pm On Nov 19, 2011
I hope to be careful here because as  Christians we must ensure that Christ is preached which is our primary responsibility but we must consider others in caring out our responsibility. As it stands now there is no law that says one should not preach and untill such laws are enacted whoever preaches BREAKS NO LAW. But

Ro 14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: (probably because)
1Co 10:23 ¶ All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

Let us not forget that there are several ways we can pass across the THE SAVING TRUTH without causing and unnecessary problems, one of such is Tracks and a forum like this where ur freedom of expression is more guarranteed.
If we all are offended by Boko men that said we MUST all become Moslems, I believe we must not Force our believe on other cos Christ told us that
Lu 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. As someone said earlier, can you imagine goin to a hospital and shouting one your voice for the patients to repent because they are about to die?

To all who care to listen, Remember that if u prefare ur quiet silence to message of salvation now, a time shall come when you will  here the statement below;
Luke 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Omg - This was so funny - Put a big smile on my face,

Spread the Gospel, but be considerate of people, and to those who say - Don't travel by public transport - That is quite stupid to say, Noone should be forced to listen or judged for not listening because Yes, when you are in these said buses, and you decide to exercise the Right not to listen and make a phone call, these preachers sometimes start abusing you and telling you to switch off your phone.

So yes Stop ramming down your version of your Christ and salvation down others throats, respect public spaces, and most importantly Ecc 3:3, there is a time for everything. Freedom of speech ko, freedom ni - Go and preach in a Saudi Arabia bus and you will definitely be punished.
Re: Evangelism In Public Buses Is Madness by Image123(m): 11:43pm On Nov 19, 2011
It's unfortunate that every opportunity's taken to mudsling christianity, the church or the government. There's indiscipline and corruption in the whole land. There's pollution and disregard everywhere. What with the family that rears animals like pigs, chicken, cats, dogs, goats etc. All the litter, the smell, the barkings and crowings. What of my friend that starts his lista generator anytime, and the noise and the exhaust directed right into my other friend's window. What with waste disposal early in the morning on my door and path. What of the leaking soak away and septic tanks that make me raise my skirts like i'm on the aisle leaving home. Can i forget the horror of noise once nepa brings my neighbour's light, and if begins to blast us with the latest songs when all i need is peace and quiet. Should i not mention the partition where the viewing centre now stands, and the shouts of goal and chelsea,barca fans override our home's discussion. And those bus drivers who attach subwoofers and speakers into buses and cabs, and you only know some respite if you had to receive a call. And when there's two friends in the same bus with you, the go on in lively chatter and gossip about what you do not need to know? And on and on i can go, abegi, carry go preacher, you're not our biggest problem.
