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.
So ur god isnt angry enough at the state of the corntree,hes not angry enough that his people are abducted even in his house he's not angry enough that his priests are graping children but he's angry they are stopping people from spraying other people saliva in the name of preaching? Issorite

So praying on the tarmac and obstructing free flow of vehicular movement is not a traffic offence?
Re: Senate Proposes N50,000 Fine For Preaching, Hawking In Buses by SonofElElyonRet: 1:39am On Jul 17
So I can't preach inside bus anymore? Even if driver and passengers are interested in listening and no one objects? This conflicts with section 38 (1) of the constitution as amended.
You might as well ban drivers from listening to music or the radio while driving because the sound can also distract him! Rubbish!

This is wrong!

N50k fine? No!

Anything worth doing is worth doing well. It should be mandatory 1 year imprisonment with hard labour in manufacturing sector.

People should learn to keep their beliefs to themselves.

One again the end times is confirmed.
Using the bad and the ugly called Religion to justify a blanket ban on preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. The spirit of the Antichrist is rising. But it won't last long!

Oga Sir. Can you explain to us how this law improves the standard of living of any Nigerian? They are more pressing issues bedeviling this country Sir. This bill is a misplaced priority. Imagine painting a house that has not been roofed and plastered!

Must you preach your nonsensical idea of Jesus is God to us all the time?, we're sick of it and moreover let others enjoy their peace.

Christian genocide on another level. Suppression of the truth isn't possible na.

Because the word of God is not bound.

WHILE I COMMEND THE BILL AGAINST ALCOHOLISM AND RECKLESS DRIVING, I AM CERTAINLY AT A LOSS AS TO HOW PREACHING IN A BUS COULD JEOPARDIZE SAFE DRIVING. IS THIS ANOTHER SUBTLE DIMENSIONAL ATTEMPT TO SUBDUE CHRISTIANITY IN NIGERIA? OUR LORD IS ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE SITUATION!

Be sincere and swear with your life, since you've been meeting Muslims have you or family members of yours had encountered terrorist act from 95 percent of Muslim populations you've met?

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
And all those causing nuisance on public roads in the name of praying should be put in their place also, it will also be a step in the right direction, don't you think so.

This bill is an attack to freedom of speech and religious activities. It is an attack to Christian faith,as they are religious group that undertakes public preaching in commercial buses.
Then those religious groups should be ready to pay fines till their brain is reset
Re: Senate Proposes N50,000 Fine For Preaching, Hawking In Buses by LLMG: 3:58am On Jul 17
They should keep plotting against the church and Christians, one thing is sure the church and Christians will survive them all until the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Does those your so called 95per stop the impact or activities of terrorists. As far as this issue is concerned, that your 95per is insignificant because they seem to be happy and okay with it, it is obvious that the fact they are not participating in it doesn't mean they are not in agreement with it, it is part of their religion, this is the truth and you know it.

What about those who pray on public roads, shouldn't their brains be reset too with fines.

Saying 95 percent is insignificant shows your level pf illiteracy and I'm sorry to have dignified your rants with a response.

Is it not well known that it is Christians that preach, why don't you be sincere with yourself and address the issues really causing the country backwardness e.g, almajiri system, out of school children menace etc are these not more pressing issues, what harm has preaching done to anyone, the insecurity of these people is nauseating.

Of all things or problems facing the country, this is misplaced priority, not necessarily needed at all. Imagine what they are sitting down to discuss. Smh.

Christianity brought freedom and liberty to the world. Majority of the good things the world enjoys today is because of Christianity. If you want to talk about real enslavement look towards the middle east.

You just showed your level pf illiteracy if you can't see the amount of damage your non 95per is doing to the society.
