From reliable sources, the new deputy might be defecting to Apc soon.

In civilised climes, no matter how fast or far an offender runs, the long arms of the law will eventually catch him. Kashamu may have some respite now, it won't be long before justice would corner and confront him. There can be no peace for the "wicked" , so says the lord . Same goes for all those who have been molesting and criminally impoverishing nigerians.

Hero10001:
Preventable or not, death is certain as much as ignorance abounds.
Ignorance has been killing since the begining of time, you
can't stop it now.
Even if they ban it, it won't stop pple to stop consuming it.
Anybody that wants to die, let him die.
Afterall, if you do anyhow, you go see anyhow.
"Dem no dey tell mad man say war don start"
Everybody's got a life to live
, live and let live.

The government has a primary responsibility of protecting its people and educating the ignorant. I will leave readers to figure out the rest.

Hero10001:
Ogogoro or no ogogoro, pple must die.
Death is made to complete life.
There are million ways to die.

Death is inevitable but some causes of death are preventable especially in poor societies like ours where ignorance still rules the psyche and mentality of many

litetias:
I think all-night should be banned too because when most people are sleeping is not the best time to be making noise

Babies, the aged ,the weak and the sick also sleep during the day and they all deserve our consideration. Some hospitals are located near worship centers and they also need protection from greedy pastors, imams and overzealous worshippers. .

The most effective way of reducing or stopping crimes is giving maximum punishment to proven offenders. Our courts must be rejiged to perform their functions effectively if we are serious about curbing crimes in our society.

Many Nigerians still gullibly believe much in the endless powers of prayer to right a wrong or to bring a dead thing back to life as in the days of old. We must begin to get real by realising that prayer is a spriritual tool and its not meant to address all life's physical challenges. Our pastors must begin to be honest with their followers by telling them that there is no sure substitute for integrity, honesty, mental capability , persistence and hardwork for anyone who desires success in life. And those pastors should confess to their members that the concept of forgiveness of sins in the bible has no place in present day social and justice systems. That is the reason why the constitution and other law books are more important than the bible or quran in our regular courts. But dreamers can still continue to dream if they so wish .

Good and welcome development. The next thing I am appealing to the government to ban is the use of loud speakers by worship centers.

FOLYKAZE:
The Federal Government on Monday disclosed its plan to enforce a ban on locally brewed gin, popularly called ogogoro.

Details later.. . . . .

The federal government should also ban the use of loud speakers by religious worship centers. This menace is quietly destroying the health of many nigerians.

Nigerians are not good learners of etiquette. We hate being corrected or being taught new things that would enhance our social life. The grown ups are the most culpable.

These pastors should stop commenting on national issues because they can no longer be trusted as being reliable leaders judging by their antecedents. They are a big part of nigeria's woes.

I think funke should sue the garrulous prophet. Even if this is going to be so, it should not be a message for public consumption. Am sorry for Nigerian pastors for their aggravated ignorance. Having a baby these days has become a matter of choice and time especially for those who are rich and educated like akindele because the world is presently awash with medical options. These ignorant so called pastors must be taught how to respect the privacy of others and how not to be a public nuisance. Bunch of lazy buffoons.

The two guys look superb in those dresses. Bygone to ridiculous flowing gowns called agbada or babarigas. My dreams come true. Thank God for Nigeria.

Lucasbalo:
Gbam. In a country where an average citizen makes less than $2 a day, how can this Politicians and Mega Pastors live such opulent lifestyles ?. They are flying all over the world in their private Jets while their gullible 10% thithers are looking for Danfo or Okada to transport them to their various endeavors. Some things are just beyond belief.

You are correct. Religion has been used for centuries as a weapon of oppression and enslavement. Most advanced countries today were once religious nations but they rescued themselves at a point when they realized it was a scam. Pastors and their ilks use religion as a scare tactic to intimidate and exploit their congregation for self enrichment. Religion and poverty are deadly twin brothers. Having suffered in the hands of politicians, nigerians do not deserve the raw deal they are being given by these ' gods of men ' called pastors.

Nigerians have been irredeemably scammed by politicians and pastors. What a pity.

cramjones:
Dear Nairlanders,

It has come to my attention that not up to 2weeks of our president's take over of Nigeria's governance, some of you have been using unprintable words on him.

It is highly regrettable that we sit behind our computers and phones and call the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria a dullard. This is not right! We must learn to respect those in authority. What has Buhari done that warrants him to be called a dullard? The two religions most Nigerians practice tells us to respect those in authority.

Nevertheless, we must criticize where we believe PMB has erred, but we must refrain from using demeaning and derogatory terms. This must stop.

I urge the moderators of Nairaland to follow this trend closely, lest Nairaland becomes a forum to insult a sitting president.

We will not tolerate this!

God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

I sincerely share your views on this issue. I have severally advised posters on this forum to engage in constructive criticism instead of hateful and destructive posts ( you may wish to refer to the posts ). Having said this, i think the moderators have a lot to do in checking these excesses. If they continue to feign ignorance of the possible future consequences, it might become too unpleasant for nairaland to bear when it eventually happens. I dont want to believe that this forum is on autopilot.

kettykings:
Auction it and not burn it fools

The word 'fools' is too strong to use in this context. You can simply give your advice to the authorities as a well-meaning nigerian without being indecent.

What we have in ekiti presently is kakistocracy . I doubt if the people actually deserved this. Very sad for ekiti state.

This is the way i like our officials to dress to work; simple, clean and smart. I think we've had enough of those expensive but unimpressive and heavy flowing gowns which often hinder ability or agility and potray our officials as unserious on the job. Good one by Ambode. I wish more of them will emulate him.

klax:
Tell apc that. Because they are the ones who destroyed Nigeria and ran to apc and started shouting change so since devil turn overnight angel still sit on top of billion they loot yet calling other people evil are free from probe so let us carrying on deceiving ourselves ok.

Please, my advise is to all well-meaning and cerebral nigerians who truly want prosperity for the nation and not to everyone on this forum.

I am advising nigerians, especially those on nairaland to begin to view issues objectively and comment on them constructively rather than emotionally or destructively. It is by so doing that we can together take our country to greater heights. Since the politicians have succeeded in deceiving nigerians to impoverish us , we must not help them by deceiving ourselves.

lorddubic:
Please good people viewing this thread.

I want to ask. Is it good for a so called church to be playing music at this hour of the day? A church that has its speakers placed outside the neighbourhood.

As I type this message, I am in my sitting room. I can't sleep because of the noise.

After this noise, by 4.30 5am they will wake up and start shouting on top of their voices commanding people to wake up and come for prayer.....but its not by force na.

Saturdays and Sundays are usually the worse.

But my worry is this....Can't they keep their speakers inside ? Can't they pray on their own without disturbing peoples sleep?

Is this what religion means

I do not mean to insult anyone but I think this isn't right.

The best solution that has been tested is as follows. Buy 2 or 3 horn speakers, connect to your home theater and point them in the direction of the noise-making church. Start to play some LOUD ISLAMIC MUSIC before and throughout their worship . Within 7 days, the church will approach you for an "amicable settlement". This is cheaper than personally confronting them and it is more effective. You can sell the speakers after concluding the operation. You can never regret taking this action.

mikolo80:
keep calm buy or sent projector and home theatre and play mojo for them

This is the best solution to the problem. Buy some horn speakers and connect to your home theatre, point it to the direction of the church or mosque and produce more noise . If the culprit is a church, play loud islamic music, and vice versa. You can never regret trying it and it costs you less than personally confronting them. You can resell the speakers after the entire operations.

The press and other organizations will rise against this law and that might lead to its being repealed eventually. The public must also not keep quiet over this because the law has abused the sensibilities of all well meaning nigerians. The civilized world must not hear of it... !!!

Pavore9:
l personalty saw to one moving out from my neighbourhood, l codedly harassed the owner of the property and he was forced to give them quit notice! They have right to worship but l have a greater right to peaceful night rest!

Right to worship, yes. Right to violate the peace of others, NO.
We must begin to explain these terms to enlighten the ignorant. The last thing most nigerians care about is their health and this may explain the reason for the low life expectancy in the society.

omenka:
Rotf.

Sorry I'm laughing bro.

Honestly, I feel your pains. It is such a pity we situate religious houses within residential areas in this country. The disturbance on gets either from the sound system in churches or the public address system in mosques could make a sane guy almost go mad, especially when one desperately needs peace and quiet. This is why I would never live in a place close to any of these two structures no matter how cheap they may be.

I wonder what our urban planning laws say about this. If there isn't any legislation prohibiting the erection of such religious centres in the middle of residential areas, I really think it is time we had some egghead within the National Assembly take up such.

The problem with such move is that, being as sentimental as we are in this country in matters of religion, one could easily be seen as anti Christian or anti Islam, and none of us wanna be so tagged. We could boast of the highest number of Churches per square kilometre in the world yet we are one of the most morally bankrupt people in the world.

God help you bro.

Noise pollution is a societal vice that is capable of destroying lives but the advantages of confronting it far outweighs the negative reactions from the adherents. For the general good of the people, pollution of all forms must be legislated against and such laws must be strictly enforced.

This is an area where our government and the people are failing. While most people are ignorant of the dangers posed by noise pollution, the government is afraid to confront the menace. I raised a petition on change.org to call the attention of our authorities to this malady but Nigerians refused to sign the petition. This monster will destroy the health and peace of our people if something definite is not done as soon as possible.

Report them to LASEPA (Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency) if you stay in Lagos.

LASEPA = 07027951351

Please to whom can i report in ogun state?

The flood situation is worse than that at sango-ota, Ogun state.

PointB:
Lol,

The brainless one should direct that question to Cambridge, if them born am well!

Did you really mean to call him that derogatory name? If so we do not yet have future leaders in this country judging from the way today's youths address their best leaders and adore the worst of them.

The same old nigerian attitude. If someone is disputing another person's opinion ( or accusation ) , it is reasonable to do so by supporting your own 'correct' claim with facts and figures to convince the reading and listening public. We need to get real in our conducts if this country will make progress .

To most of the posts on this topic, i think that generally, nigerians urgently need moral reorientation as most of the comments are laden with words of indiscipline, hate and recklessness. Most of our moral , social and national values have been eroded over time. Nigeria cannot continue like this if we must prosper.
