Advice Needed: Neighboring Church Noise by calabaman(m): 12:44pm On Dec 16, 2017
Dear All,

Please no bashing!

I am located at uyo, akwaibom and am staying besides a church that won't allow me rest in quiet.
Day and night, they have services which is not an issue to me.
THE PROBLEM IS, THEY HAVE A MEGAPHONE THAT MAKES LOADS OF NOISE KEEPING ME FROM SLEEP AND GIVING ME CONTINOUS HEADACHE as I can't sleep with all the noise.
I HAVE ASKED THEM TO TURN DOWN THE VOLUME OR RELOCATE THE MEGAPHONE TO NO AVAIL.
I AM A CHRISTIAN, AND FEEL ITS WRONG TO INFORM THE POLICE ABOUT THIS.... WHAT CAN I DO TO RESOLVE THIS PLEASE.

9ja is romanced with many problems and this is one of them.
religion aside, this is noise pollution naaundecided
I'll be very glad if a law is enacted for religious bodies to confine the sounds within their space alone, church or mosque.. whatever it is.

That’s not a Church, but a nuisance.

My advice: Make a strict complaint to the church prime members. Should they refuse to respect your person, burn down the church undecided

My guy, I learned this while living with my uncle. As you have warned them to stop and they don't want to hear, buy your own megaphone, a bigger one if you can. As them don start their noise, you sef play Olamide's Wo and Small Doctor's Penalty on repeat, make them go call police. I've come to conclusion that Nigerians are mad from birth. You have to treat their madness with madness, forget being a Christian. Your sanity is more important, because I assure you one day you'll run mad if you keep doing this to yourself.

Lol. This is a fulfillment to the prophecy of the Light of God Almighty who created Yahweh, Allah, Moloch, Atum, Vishnu, Olorun, Chuku, etc.
Far back in the days of the Neanderthals, the light of God Almighty gave this prophecy about Christianity(the philosophy of Yahweh) and it is happening right now:

Doctufos: Adspiramen 15:38-41


38. He shall forbid them do things that will make them use their brains, but instead, he shall set leaders over them to put their intentions into check such that they shall invent no single thing.

39. They shall also not discover any work of God because they shall think it as abomination and evil to discover the works of God.

40. And they shall die in their ignorances, creating no useful impact in the world but noise.

41. And they shall not invent anything but noise while they use the inventions of the people that are not afraid of death. Yet they shall condemn the people whose inventions they are using.
https://www.nairaland.com/2938907/doctrine-ufos/69#63262251

Now you can see in our days that pastors cannot invent keyboards, guitars, loudspeakers, etc, yet they condemn scientists while they make use of their devices. Hmm. cool

If you can't report because you are a Christian, then why complain?.... Continue to endure it because you are a Christian OK? Hypocrite everywhere..

Re: Advice Needed: Neighboring Church Noise by billionman: 9:24am On Dec 17, 2017
I attend a church where I'm in charge of sound. I discouraged the use of horn speakers and it has remained so. Whoever wants to hear what's happening in the church should come inside.

Until members of a congregation change their mentality about the fact that unnecessary public address systems are a menace to the society, and until the govt decide to curb it objectively, this issue will persist.

You may do well to know the prevailing noise pollution laws and regulations in your state and explore it knowing fully well that pleading with the church may fall on deaf ears. Better still, you can relocate.

you've done the right thing... I can quite relate with the scenario above. Nevertheless, I will implore you to exercise some more patience with them while constantly reminding them of the megaphone. HAPPY SUNDAY.

U don't have any choice than to report the issue to the police. It's either they relocate or change the direction of their megaphone. I still prefer u report to the police Sha!!!

You could change your location
It's only in Nigeria that churches use massive loudspeakers to disturb other people

If am not mistaken, the church was there before you parked in. So get use to it just like your co-tenants have done too.

If you can't report them to the appropriate authority, then try and ignore them as much as possible
