My brother, if they go about constituting a public nuisance or if their activities constitute it, it's still wrong. Whoever does it is wrong. But the topic is about a pastor, not an imam. You just want to implicate me by any means, which is wrong.
May God bless us all. okay bro u win, those early morning prayers come from their mosque, so they are on their right. If our Christian folks can restrict the preaching with megaphone or louder than average vocal chords to worship centre and churches, that will be better. 1 Like 1 Share |

I know the kind of hateful looks I get once I get close to them and they see the rosary beads in my rear view mirror.
I stare back at them in a more hateful manner too. You are going too far, in your place of work or business , the moment they notice you are Christian, you are a suspect and threat to their nefarious activities |

In as much as there is freedom of expression and worship, what I don't condone is waking people very early in the morning all in the name of morning cry.
If every religion should adopt the Christian's way of propagating their religion, I doubt if Christians will be happy with the development.
Imagine been waked up as early as 4 am with words like: "repent and follow Allah, or you'll go to hell".
The noise and public nuisance are appalling, and I hope you guys learn. You have your religion, I have mine. Let's respect each other's beliefs without wanting to convert the other.

I no d paiin This is how you people indulge in self pity and deceive yourselves. Abuja has some of the biggest churches in Nigeria and by extension in Africa. Some of them were commissioned in this very administration. Nigeria, for the past 5 years has been witnessing the world most rapid church growth, leading the world revival for Christ, people freely preaching the gosopel everywhere with the glorious liberty of the children of God...

Religion is one of the simplest tool used by politicians, government to resolve crisis, bring sentimental understanding and people to take side immediately.
Now, the poor masses are always to easiest fools to fall into this trap.
Division of the country would have been the simpkiest solution but because we have lived for a long period of time, so many ethnic groups so relies on other people's mineral resources to survive not knowing that every state or group has something God created for them to survive with. But on a lighter note, living together is better we we have tolerance and understanding for one another.
Finally, if only we know that religion is just a secondary thought and not meant to be used on anyone as a form of enmity, things would have been better for the society. In western world, developed states never remember religion as anything until the introduction of dress codes and one can now DIFFERIATE one another to his or her religion.
Please youths, never think religion amongst yourselves or feel a group of ethnic settlement has come to survive or is developing and dominating your state. Work hard like them and survive.
I once told my from Eze, you can never survive is the BDC market. That business is for the northern guy. They know the business more that you, Eze. And cos of them u exist in the same market for that period. Once they go, your business's flops. Likewise Eze who is in the market selling electronics. U can't take it away from him and etcetera....

The Day I Faced Police brutality For Preaching The Gospel Of Christ on The Streets Of Abuja
This actually took place in the outskirts of the FCT, Karu-site to be precise. It was after I had just began preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God with my megaphone on the streets, sometime in 2003, as I had often done since the beginning of that year.
All of a sudden, I saw a man get up from a bench he was seating on close by, come close to me and ordered someone else, a guy to take me, but they were both on mufti.
While I was yet wondering what was going on, someone else, another guy, came and said he was going to follow me to wherever they were taking me, to see what they up to and probably to stand as a witness, because he didn't see anything wrong in what I was doing. In fact he was already attentive waiting to hear what I had to say before the interruption.
Although I was moved by the gesture, it appeared to offend the men as they now, I think, handcuffed the both of us with one handcuff, and dragged us to the Karu-site Police Station which was just close by which confirmed that they were actually policemen.
But when we arrived at the Station, instead of taking us to its reception so we could be properly interrogated, they took us somewhere hidden, at the back the back of the Station, probably a room where they torture some of those they arrest, to show that the arrest was ulterior motivated and unwarranted.
Then once we had entered into the room, and the man who brought us there had leveled some accusations, which I can't remember, against me before the policemen inside the room, and the supposed offense of the other guy which was his decision to follow me, they began to brutalize us.
It wasn't that seriously though, but we had received a few slaps and blows to our body and our heads were hit together.
I can remember after one of them slapped me, i turned the other cheek for him, but he rejected the offer and still slapped me on the same cheek.
One of the policemen, probably their boss there appeared not to find any fault in what we had done that warranted our arrest, so was casually telling them to release us.
After they had stopped hitting us, one of them, the same who rejected my offer of the other cheek, compared us to Paul and Silas. He jokingly said something about both of us praying like Paul and Silas, and imagining what it would be like if the same thing which happened to the prison they were happened to the Police Station.
Not long after that they released us, so our brief stay there seemed to end on a lighter note since it was clear that we hadn't committed any offence that warranted our arrest. However by then, the guy who arrested us had already left, but before he left he had given me a stern warning me not to see me doing what I did again, which was to preach the Gospel of Christ on the streets of Abuja, otherwise I would see what he'd do to me.
To be honest, I was quite shaken a bit by his threat since it was the first time I got arrested and persecuted for such, but that wasn't enough to deter me as I continued preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom on the same streets probably that same day, and continued doing that for a while.
Although it was an experience which I took in my stride as part of what comes with the life i'd begun to live for the sake of the Gospel of Christ, because Jesus had already warned us that we would face such brutality for His Gospel and namesake, that doesn't justify what the policemen had done or absolve them of their wrongdoing.
And this took place as far back as 2003 during the tenure of Obasanjo to show that police brutality didn't begin today or with this government as some think, but has been here for a long time. It's only gotten worse over time.
Hence the #endpolicebrutality protest is a very welcome development, and perhaps long overdue, because the essence of the Police Force is not brutality but the security of lives and properties.
God bless Nigeria. Bottom line, police brutality is a crime and should not be condone. However, you should stop constituting public nuisance. Stop condemning and threatening people to hell Stop forcing your opinion, ideas and beliefs on people. |

The govt mouthpiece has arrived. He is all over Nairaland gaslighting people as he attempts to convince himself and his BMC cronies that Nigeria is a paradise where the govt is the best friend of the people. But the sweet thing about life is that such people always eventually feel the same pains of those they lied were never hurt. The pipe that carries water must surely get wet.

Thank you! The noise you talked about is nothing compared to the noise from the mosque's megaphone when they are calling for prayers. The Christians preaching, only do it once in a while but that of the Muslims is constant as the G in Newton's law of universal gravitation and theirs is irritating. |

While I strongly condemn police brutality, preaching in such a manner on the street is all wrong. Causing noise pollution, constituting a public nuisance on the street in the guise of "preaching" is absolutely wrong and should be condemned by all..
I know I will be attacked by those who have vowed to always oppose me and my opinion, but it won't stop me from speaking the bitter truth.
Pastor is right here. Police brutality and other vices didn't start with President Mohammadu Buhari. But the clowns wanted Buhari to resign. It's well.
May God bless Nigeria.
