BECAUSE GOD IS REAL, YOU MUST BE DISTURBING PEOPLE EVERYWHERE?

DID WE NOT KNOW ABOUT GOD BEFORE YOUR WHITE MASTER INVADED WITH HIS BIBLE?

Whosoever propose this bill such person is digging his or her grave,the same thing goes for anyone of them voted in support of this devilish bill. Already you can't preach or sell inside government bus but extending this to public commercial buses is passing ones boundary. This is not about selling inside bus but codedly against evangelism. These people should not look for Gods anger.
You mean the made up concept of god sold to your ancestors by the colonial masters or which one?. undecided

Well said
Mattswaggz:
This is a great step towards sanity.... hopefully it will see the light of day as I know there are a lot of hypocritical Nigerian who are singing they want a better Nigeria all day but would change their tone and even fight against the right move if it will affect their archaic way of doing things somehow(even though common sense was supposed to tell them that some of those things they're doing isn't right) grin grin grin

Those overzealous people causing nuisance in public spaces should be put in their place for the country to be a better place and to move closer towards being referred to as a sane society. undecided

Your evangelical zeal should not be taken as license to infringe on the civil liberties of others. Keep it to yourself while travelling on commercial buses.

God does not need pretentious crusaders to lobby on his behalf. cool

Learn to think outside the box. How many times have you seen a mallam preaching inside a bus? The bill is targeted at Christians.

Listen, this is a public health and safety issue. If you have a problem with the bill, buy your own vehicle and preach to your heart's content while travelling in it!

Lawmakers said the provision was introduced to discourage distractions in commercial vehicles and improve the safety of commuters.
Stop constituting a nuisance all over town. cool

So Senate did not propose what penalty does stealing public funds, diverting public funds, mismanaging public funds attract.

That sums it up.....you're most certainly talking about that made up concept.

The God that created me and all is too big to make the mistake of not putting it into me or telling how He wants me to worship Him to the extent that I'll have to rely on thieving colonial and slave masters to tell me. grin grin grin

Except you're part of people that don't want the country to be sanitized, I don't see why any sane person should be against this bill. The rate at which people disobey traffic rules in Nigeria is alarming hence they need to be taught bitter lesson. You can't tell me you want Nigeria to be like UK and ordinary traffic rules you can't obey.
Which road safety rules are you shouting up and down?

How many roads that leads to your village is tarred and well maintained? The UK you are talking about has well constructed road networks and consistent maintenance. Or is it preaching and hawking that make our roads not motorable or life threatning? A journey a commercial driver should complete in one hour, he eventually end up spending two to three hours on the road, with heavy extortions from police and road safety officials themselves now someone is talking about fines. Until heavy fines and jail terms are levied on any form of road extortions from security officers then this is hypocrisy and satanic. Let road safetiness start with good roads and quality maintenance not all this frivolities that hides these criminals parading as reformers or politicians.

Whether you like it or not, many souls have been saved to God's Kingdom by these bus preachings.

So People can talk about any other rubbish topics in a commercial vehicle including toxic verbal arguments but no fine and jail term but the gospel that contribute positively to people's life is now what is life threatning.
Even most times, it is whole listening to these preachings that most drivers regain their senses not to over speed or drive roughly.

May God give an average Nigerian common sense to withstand the manipulations of those evil men leading this country.
