Ishilove: If he Tries this, the Pastor will use him Preach the next Sunday. ππ A Friend of mine faced sth similar.π His Apartment was close to a Church. Every Sunday, when the Church has close and everyone Gone, the Choir Boys will be Playing Instruments and Banging their Drums, thereby Disturbing My Guy's Afternoon Sleep.ππ He complained to the Pastor but the Young Man used him to Preach the next Sunday.π That 'Enemies of the Word always Oppose Godly things'! π―π―π 1 Like |

XtraFortunes:The simple fix is to preach against religion. But to do so, you have to stop being a Christian yourself. You can't cure ugliness by merely fixing makeups. |

meekparagon: Sacrifice what please?!! On what grounds?!! Is that what your nation's constitution says?!! Abi you don't know there is something called "Environmental Laws" which prohibit noise pollution in any form?!! Every church can restrict their service sounds to within their auditorium... It is not a crusade. 3 Likes |

Janosky: You are sick upstairs. You JW always eager to fault other christians. Calling them all manner of bad names. 21st centuries Pharisees. Your own disturbance pass using loud speakers to disturb people. The other day taking a stroll on my street in the afternoon. About five JW were there with their bags as usual. Three of them some meters away waiting for the remaining two banging on a metal gate. I believe the old man must be having a nap. The man came to the gate furiously. He must have thought it was NEPA guys. He got to the gate and saw these guys and did not allow them to start their preaching before sending them away. The man was so mad that he shouted and scolded these guys. Why must you bang people's gates because you want to preach. 4 Likes |

geoworldedu: This has nothing to do with Religion please. It is just a case of insensitivity which is a human trait that cuts across both religious and irreligious people. Abi, haven't you seen guys who play ridiculously loud home theater systems disturbing entire blocks of flats and even the streets?!! What about those who raise the volumes of their car stereo system to the annoyance and irritation of others?!! Are they also being religious?!! Don't be too quick to castigate religion instead of the lawlessness in your nation. 2 Likes |

Tetraozonaitera: That's not the same thing... Your analogy sucks. Churches need to stop constituting public nuisance. Simple! Restrict your sound to the four walls of your church auditorium. Well, I blame the lack of law enforcement for such nonsense. 3 Likes |

Angelfrost: Religion birthed noise pollution and does more evil than good. Why do you still want to be a religionist and complain to us when those you evangelised gave their lives to your god, built a church next door and disturb you? If you had deconverted and discourage them from being religious, then they wouldn't have built such structure beside your door to disturb you. Please Christians and Muslims should stop complaining that their co-faithfuls are disturbing them with religious stuffs anymore. At least those ones whom you mentioned above didn't put speakers outside their rooms to disturb you and it can be quickly fixed by talking to them as opposed to church and mosques whose loud noises can be heard in the third Street. I don't think any home theatre volume has ever been raised to the point of hearing it in the third Street. |

geoworldedu: Lol... You can hate religion without losing your intelligence. The issue here is beyond religion... It's a glaring lapse in leadership and law enforcement. There are several other religious nations without such complaints of public disturbance. Enforce the law today, and most of these will stop. Are night clubs also religious?!! Smh! 1 Like |

XtraFortunes: You don't have to wait for law; law in Nigeria is not proactive. Please, institute an action in nuisance against them. It's winnable. I hate nuisances. |

XtraFortunes: Personally, I feel every church in residential areas should be demolished. You can't be making people's life a living hell with noise. Nobody wants that. These people are very wicked and insensitive. If you live in Lagos, there are organizations to contact that'll help solve your problem. 3 Likes |

Angelfrost: Says an angel with a 'frozen' intelligence. How does it sound to you that a supposed holy people who should be the ones to set the pace in leading people to do the right thing are the criminals themselves. It's like vindicating a pastor who steals and rapes because the law is weak and unenforced. Isn't it right for you to criticise such pastor for his deeds? Someone like you will justify Jesus or Mohammed if they come today to sleep with girls and impregnate them in multitude and harvest their organs for trafficking, as long as the arms of the laws didn't catch up with them. You're an example of isi ewu mama Ngozi. |

As a child, on my street and directly facing my house, was a Deeper Life Church. The owner of the property had ceeded the building to his Church, which was quickly converted. They mounted their PA system outside, facing our house. Damn!!!...the noise emanating from there was deafening and irritating. So, one day I summoned up courage and approached them to air my displeasure about the noise , and that they should put the speakers right inside their hall, or take it out completely. They never obliged, instead continued with their nuisance for another week. Then, on this particular day I and my younger brother brought out one of my uncle's big,loudspeakers, who was a musician. We placed the speakers outside, facing the church, and slotted in a Heavy Metal tape, which is a genre of Rock music.. Γmo, the sound, as we increased the volume from the amplifier was times 100 compared to what was coming out from their irritating, speakers. They didn't have any option but to shut themselves inside their hall. I went and disconnected the wire connected to their own speaker. In fact the whole street came out to beg us to turn down our volume. The church came and reported to our dad but we're disappointed at my dad's response. Since that day till now, they haven't tried that again. Even the last time I went home for Xmas, I noticed they are still abiding by the rules. I also have sworn not to ever live in areas where they have churches or mosques, no matter what. XtraFortunes: 6 Likes |

Event centres..religious buildings and any building that is prone to make noise should be made to be in isolated locations based on building laws..every estate should have areas where organisations prone to making noise should be based. 3 Likes |

XtraFortunes:Your own better, my own there are 3 churches surrounding my compound, like bothisde of the building and the back. You know who close Lagos building is to each other? That's how close these churches are. The hold weekly programs almost everyday, if one is absent, the others won't be absent. Vigils every Fridays, the blast speakers on the fullest... It's so bad I don't return home from work sometimes for weeks or month. If you approach them, you become the next topic on Sunday. I did not even mention mosque, there are 2 mosque, these ones...

AntiChristian: Best quote. When I was in Lagos and staying in Somolu, I could barely sleep because of noise. I engaged LASEPA and they did something about it. I am christian too, but there are somethings which cant be tolerated after a hard days work. Best thing to do before renting a house is to check that house on a Sunday and see whatsup. Noisy areas are a no for me. 3 Likes |

XtraFortunes: Endure their noise till the time pastor is ready to preach or collect offering/tithe.....let the sermon keeps going....prior to that...go get a good powerful and very loud sound system and install it close to them too. Blast Davido, Asake, Bob Marley......if you wan vex them...record moslim praying...and blast it in their head. Make sure you don't allow them to take offering and tithe in peace. No one will tell them before they respect themselves. I have bent a church like that. The pastor ran to my place and was doing like "innocenti". We welcome him and played Ron Kenoly for him to confuse him more cos na moslim prayer we take scatter his head with the sound system. He talked and complained...and all I did was to flip through the next set of songs I have in the cooler for him. I just told him...you disturb my sleep, I will disturb you from taking your tithe. 50 - 50. Shikena. No one told him to remove the loudspeaker. And I removed mine too. Problem solved. If na mosque, I will do same. I am sure those ones are violent and I will give them back. Na so. 1 Like |
