Twoclans: Residing close to a Church can be so uncomfortable. The Churches around us believe that they have to scream, use loud speakers to speak to their gods. Makes me conclude that their gods are deaf. I will never rent a house close to a Church, never again. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Not living close to a church though but something happened sometime last month. Was rushing to meet the deadline for a project and haven't slept well in days. I finished around 2am that night and tried to sleep to wake up at 6. It was 4:30 am when one idiot decided to play loud church music on his public address system before doing his morning preaching. I wan mad. Just small thing prevented me from opening my gate that night and confronting the guy....but I tried to sleep again but couldn't. So I picked up my phone, searched for Bluetooth devices and saw a new device. I connected and heard a ding sound. The new device was the public address system and looks like it supports multipoint connection. Don't even imagine what I did that night. I started by playing candy crush on my phone and all you could hear via the loud speaker was "sweet, divine, sugar crush" in th silence of the night. The guy was probably confused. He had to poweroff the device and ended the morning cry. I bet he got the memo. Disturbing people at 4:30 am. Wickedness 41 Likes 6 Shares |

I remember years ago when my family house was next to a MFM church in the next compound. Hmmm.... their night vigils was something else o.... Those mfm brethren can pray o They way they clap their hands and sing for hours without tiring, it always amazes me Me as a redeemed member, am used to gentle prayers, but these fiery hot prayer warriors can raise prayer points from 12am _5am without a quit notice. I was never against their prayers o... Sometimes I do pray them once a blue moon, but the noise they generate often robbed me of a good night sleep 3 Likes |

In 2010 when we visited Lagos, we stayed at the Rita Lori hotel in Surulere. There was a Church right across the road. They kept us awake all night with singing, clapping and bell-ringing. It wasn't a great experience. |

Some years back, i got an apartment without prior knowledge of church activities. So the 1st night while sleeping and then, boom, a CAC church with their megaphone started playing loud music without recourse to neighbours. It was so loud that my family and i jumped out of the bed thinking it was robbery, till we regained our senses to know it was music before the actual service. It was entering directly into my upstairs apartment and the man didn't care about others. We later left that area, thank God 1 Like |

There was one house I rented then when I began to work in Ibadan. At first, there was peace. Then one church rented a building right in front of the house, and my problem began. At first, every night was vigil. It was always so loud that you couldn't watch a movie even at the highest volume. Omoh, quickly I rallied youths in the area, and we complained at the landlord association meeting. So, the church reduced it to twice every week. Still, it was hell. I had to park out eventually. Since then, I have made it a part of me to warn agents that I DON'T want a house close to a church every time I am house hunting. 2 Likes |

Hmmm no be small experience oo We and this church were neighbors. But they stay in a different community, it was a small stream that divided our community and theirs. Naso the pastor come meet my papa one evening like that o. He said he wants my father to pls not to fence the land close to stream so that his church members can be able to cross easily to church instead of going through the long route which is more far. My father agreed, but later after some times. This pastor started chasing people away from the land like it was his. Telling strangers who are not member of his church who tries to cross to his own community that the road is not a valid route. This man will chase them back forcing them to go back and follow the normal long route. My father noticed this and challenged him that what right did he have to chase people away from pass through the land as if it was his. As my father see say he won dey claim am naso he collect him land o say he go fence am so that everyone including his church members won't pass that way again. This rest na story oo as this pastor go nack my papa spell . Na God save our family as I for don turn orphan by now. Today as I am talking the church don scatter. Dem catch the pastor sleeping with a church member. Apart from that noise and everything too join 17 Likes |

I currently live close to two churches. Indaboski's church and one other church I don't know their name. If you want to see me pissed, come to my house on Sunday morning. The worst part is that that nameless church have a very bad choir. With their cracked voice and a very loud speaker, they will disturb the whole street till 1pm. Indaboski is a kinda sound proof, so you won't really hear them. I just need to move out. 4 Likes |

PotatoSalad: Something very similar happened to me. As a freelancer, had worked all night, finished around 3.30 and wanted to catch some much needed sleep. 4.30 and this man with a coarse voice and extremely loud PA decided to start his morning cry. Worst part is that he directed the PA to my window. I wan mad that early morning. And I'm the type that gets a headache once my sleep is interrupted. Note, I'm a very good Christian who supports spreading the gospel, but this particular method of preaching the gospel is a no no for me. I had a very useless day filled with headache and fatigue due to the preacherman's noise. 5 Likes |
