Public disturbance, distractions and disrespectful to the country's secular status in a public space on the path of the preacher.... knowing fully well how sensitive religion can be, a small misunderstanding can lead to bigger problems like a heated argument, religious crisis, physical attack etc....all it takes is to not be sentimental to see all these things.

what makes it noise that others are not?

For goodness sake did I say the other are not noise?.🙁.

And why did you ignore the other points?

Does preaching in the bus distract drivers?. The senators that supported such bill, should better beg God for mercy before the anger of God will come upon them.
That is why muslim - muslim ticket is satanic agenda from the pit of hell.

Mad people!

I don't need to pray about Nigeria folly; I don't need to pray about this. Idiocy is overrated. Monkeys trying to claim modernity. Hooligans trying to wear suit for the first time; it will shock the fools.

Catapault:

DON'T LET THEM SPREAD THEIR COLONIAL ENSLAVEMENT TO OTHERS

You will soon hit that bald head of yours on the floor, your little idols can't help you bra

jaephoenix:
Which atheist told you that?
Why do you christians pull out all kinds of lies just to discredit atheists? Can you tell me why?

So what caused the big bang? Stop shooting yourself in the foot. Something that was already in existence had to have triggered it..
Atheists won't accept it's Someone

Mattswaggz:
see the type of people I am talking about.....you guys really love how backward this country is...was any specific religion named in the report.

Do Muslims or traditionalists preach in commercial buses ? You're just being deluded. And how do preaching in buses being backwardness ? I have never seen you on this forum condemn the reintegration of Boko Haram members into the society and Nigerian army. Stop being delusional

Even though this is a trivial matter,, it is actually becoming nauseating..!!

Even those who preach (or beg) at motor parks ==>> just before a filled bus leaves the park.
Parks that allow such nuisance should all be fined mercilessly.

Preachers know where to preach.!!
Not inside motor parks or buses.

The most that may happen inside a bus is a short prayer.
and it shouldn't be loud to disturb other passengers -- neither should it be accompanied with any form of compelling words for persons who wouldn't want to join in the prayer.

Guestmale:
How did preaching in bus compromise public safety?.

I will explain how it does once you provide the reference I asked for. Fair deal?

For those who have defaulted to the usual puerile arguments concerning a faith under attack, here are a list of countries where there are similar bans in place. The last time I checked Jamaica is one of the most 'Christian' nations on earth!

1. Countries with Explicit Bans on Preaching/Evangelism on Public Transport
Jamaica: The government-run Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) explicitly banned preaching on public buses. The policy was enacted following passenger complaints, with authorities stating that bus riders are a "captive audience" and should not be subjected to unsolicited evangelism
www.christianitytoday.com
.
Ghana: Preaching in public transport vehicles (commonly known as "trotros" is considered a legal offense punishable by a fine or imprisonment
www.instagram.com
. The Ghana Private Road and Transport Union (GPRTU) also actively enforces a ban on all preaching and solicitation activities in public vehicles to maintain order
www.facebook.com
.
Nigeria: The Nigerian Senate has approved bills proposing significant fines (e.g., ₦50,000) for preaching, hawking, or trading inside commercial buses to maintain public order and safety
www.nairaland.com
. Several state governments have also enacted and enforced similar local bans
www.facebook.com
.
South Africa: The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) implemented regulations banning preaching, singing, and informal trading on its trains to maintain order and security
www.facebook.com
. While this has faced public and legal pushback from religious groups, the ban remains part of PRASA's operational rules

.
2. Countries Where All Public Evangelism is Illegal
In these nations, proselytizing or preaching any religion in public spaces is strictly prohibited by national law, which inherently makes evangelism on public transport illegal:
North Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, and Eritrea: All unauthorized religious activity, including evangelism, is strictly banned, heavily monitored, and severely punished by the state
globalchristianrelief.org
,
faithandselfdefense.com
.
Maldives, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Mauritania: These countries have strict laws against non-Islamic public religious expression and proselytizing. For example, in the Maldives, the public profession of non-Islamic religions is prohibited, and importing religious texts (like Bibles) for distribution is a criminal offense under local Islamic law

.
3. Countries with Ongoing Debates or Localized Restrictions
Kenya: While not uniformly codified as a nationwide criminal offense, there are ongoing legal and public efforts to restrict preaching in "matatus" (public minibuses). Authorities increasingly crack down on the practice under public order and transport safety guidelines due to noise and passenger disturbance complaints
www.facebook.com
,
www.facebook.com
.
United Kingdom: There is no nationwide law banning preaching on public transport. However, some local councils have occasionally attempted to restrict street preaching and evangelism near transport hubs (like London Tube stations) using public order or nuisance laws, though such broad bans have frequently been challenged and overturned in court

.
Important Considerations
"Nuisance" and "Public Order" Laws: Even in countries without explicit religious bans (like many in Europe or North America), preachers on public transport can still be fined or removed under general "disturbing the peace," "harassment," or "solicitation" laws if passengers complain.
Enforcement Variability: The strictness of enforcement can vary widely depending on the region, the specific transport authority, and local cultural norms.

Misplaced priority

Honestly, real misplaced priorities.

Bro,no atheist says they know how the world comes to be. Its you theists that tell us all kinds of stories. We dont know how the big bang came to be. Scientists are still uncertain
The problem with the stories theists provide about creation is that not only have they been proven to be lies,but they are inconsistent.

So you guys pretty much believe in a theory without proof or basis. Mere guess, conjecture and speculation..
By the way, many Atheists actually believe there's an impersonal eternal force.. those ones are closer to the truth.. your so called "big bang", logic demands, must've been triggered by something.. also the intricately designed you live in which you attribute to an intelligent process of "evolution" that you again think just occurred without an intelligent designer (preposterous!)..
Same error when you guys speak of "mother nature" that is not a person.. it's actually "Father of Creation" dude

Ewedegubbler:
Suffer not the terrorists to live

i strongly support israel and wish they raise the number to 2 million instead of your 200k

the world is tired of you terrorists that contribute nothing positive to humanity.

THANKS FOR CONFIRMING THAT YOU CHRISTIANS DO NOT DESERVE TO PREACH TO ANYBODY WITH YOUR THIRST FOR THE BLOOD OF MILLIONS OF INNOCENT CHILDREN.

WE MIGHT AS WELL CALL SATAN TO PREACH TO US.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
