EL-RUFAI NEW LAWS * In Kaduna you cannot preach without license * Every preacher will have to go and get ONLY one year license (renewable every year). That is, you must always preach without an expired license or you risk 2 years imprisonment. * If you invite any external preacher (i.e. preacher outside kaduna state), such a person must be licensed for the duration of his/her stay and the body issuing the license has the right to reject external preacher they feel is not qualify to preach in Kaduna state. * Every preacher who want to be licensed will appear before a screening committee. If he/she scales through, he/she will only be given licensed for one year. * The law criminalizes the use of CDS, Flash Drive and other communication gadgets except in religious building or inside your house. * That means, you will be arrested for listening to preaching or religious music inside your cars or in any open place except in your house or religious building. * If you preach without license, you are guilty of offense punishable with 2 years imprisonment or a fine of 200,000. You can’t use microphone in your church after 8pm you are guilty of offense punishable with 2 years’ imprisonment or a fine of 200,000. * Since all preaching must be done within a building, it means public evangelism will be criminalized. Those who preach early morning, known by some as morning cry and preaching inside bus if arrested will be fined N200,000. * This could also means, people will not be allowed to go out for evangelism on streets or move with vehicles with address systems to advertise their programs.

This dwarf just dey enact laws anyhow, Leave bible and koran matter, focus on developing your state, By developing, i no mean, to dey give primary school children lunch oh.

can somebody tell me this is not true but if it is it means we are finish in this nation. when there is no freedom of worship in this secular nation. somebody should tell that short man devil that Nigeria is not an Islamic nation which Kaduna state is still part of , it is better we start believing fayose on what he said that this government want to Islamic Nigeria

Hope this law is applicable to other religious too? Persecution everywhere.May God grant us all the grace to overcome.

I thougt it was a joke when I first saw it on facebook, he should rather face real issues affecting Kaduna as a state than on religious matter. I know what he is driving at, his doings will surely catch up with him.

wtf!!! so I can't play religious music in my car who the hell does he think he is? A god that should be worshipped and feared? hell rufai I now believe you are the undisputed clueless one.

El Rufai is being proactive. Preachers can be very annoying, early morning noises from megaphones and micro phones constitute nuisance. Some would bang on your doors and windows for those living in shared houses and compounds trying to force people out to worship. Some people work at nights only to come back home in the morning to sleep but the preachers wouldn't allow you to have peace and quiet. When these people complain, they are branded witches, wizards, enemies of progress and all sorts.

There should be fairness in the implementation though. I do hope that the early morning calls from the sound systems mounted on the mosques would be affected too.

Blocking and disruption of traffic flow for religious reasons should be looked into and stopped.

There should be some regulation in the use of buildings for preachings. Noise from public address systems should be regulated especially in residential areas. It's a nightmare to live close to any of those people who use warehouses, flats and other open spaces to preach. You can't even hear yourself talking or having conversation with someone in your own house.

Ds law is null n void cus it contradicts freedm of rlgn as enshrine in consttn.

This dwafish Antichrist, may God help u Elfufai....

You voted for change so enjoy it

And all our mega Papas' and Mama's sat down like dindinrins without challenging this law specifically targeted at them my spirituality as a Christian has been in my heart for some years now and this has only vindicated me. Welcome to the Islamic republic of Nigeria Fayose was right after all

Is Kaduna now a Sharia state? When Christians there were joining Muslims to vote for an Islamic party I wonder what they were thinking, feel sorry for them, but this is part of the change they were promised

El rufai know it this day that you don't fight God. Our Lord Jesus Christ name will be heard to the ends of the earth.


Woe betide you if you try to hinder the gospel

I hate those ones more (not all though). They are just too fleshy for my liking. Just after money and human worship. After people calling them daddy and mummy.

Fayose was right on islamazation but they will fail

Am from kaduna but am nt in kaduna right now,, but does dat means dis is wat am comin back to meet?
The Lord we serve will surely protect us from d hand of dis antichrist...
I warn my frnd nt to vote dis man but dey refused.

Best law ever! El rufai na boss! All these useless pastors and imams should stop disturbing the peace!

Excellent! I love this man. Ambode learn and ban all r
them business center churches around.

I think Lagos should follow suit. Commendable, but I've got reservation on the license issue though

so if an American guest preacher like T D Jake or Joyce Mayer happens to storm Kaduna state,........

I thought this man is educated....educated illiterate......let's see if Kaduna indigenes are fools and will vote for him again....what is his deputy even doing cos I know he must be a christian

Too many cracks in the fibre of peace in this Nation. Never has this country been divided along religious,tribal and ethnic lines. Clouds are gathering,it might soon rain with a very devastating thunderstorm.

Another returned truckload of trash from GarbageCity!!


We dont need an expository from the media to know this is all about Sharia.( if this news is true)

All these laws affect Christian a 100%

why always Kano and Kaduna?


An eyeopener that the office of deputy, Vice has been watered down from its relevance to just a mere magnet for sympathy votes.

To him now, he's achieved something.

If Christian states do some cruel laws that affects other religions, i doubt they'l abide. So sad.


Logically, Nigeria is technically answering Chinua Achebe

I believe in God but I have to admit those all night crusades and early morning preaching that disrupts my night activity can be very annoying and frustrating most times.

Anyway back to the topic since he said preaching I think it should affect all religions that are currently practiced in Kaduna State and not just Christianity or Islam

I am not a Pentecostal Christian but it is obvious that these laws are targeted towards Christian Pentecostalism. Some people might be rejoicing that at least noise pollution by both Christians and Moslems will be gone but if you read in between the lines, there is trouble written all over this new laws.The noise pollution part is the dummy part to mask the real intentions of that law.
Banning listening or watching of religious media outside church is a basic breach of fundamental right of freedom of worship. "Preachers" having to face screening committee and obtain license before performing another fundamental human right is outrageous. So if TD Jakes for example is coming to Kaduna, he will have to come like a week earlier and be screened before being able to preach?
Again no use of microphone after 8pm who do you think that is for? So no mic in vigils and night crusades.
Let me see if the so called human rights lawyers and Kaduna will just sit back watch this happen.
Politicians are problem of this country. If they allow this to hold, soon other northern states will follow suit and may be some southern ones will make their revenge laws and the anarchy continues.

He knows what he is doing, this law is targeted more at his muslim brothers and sisters, many preachers twist doctrines and evil sects are born. Boko haram came from such flawed system. The el zazaky shia group islamic movement are evil fanatics who grew because they were not regulated.

Sorry can somebody define what this guy means by PREACHING ? what if I am to sell drugs in the public using a megaphone to advertise I hope that is not preaching and won' t I be arrested ?

Can you explain y anarchy will rain, this is one pro active / progressive law ever enacted in Nigeria.
Must T D Jake come to Nigeria to preach? Must one mullah come from Afghanistan to explain the Quran to you.
The next law I expecting is a HEAVY tax on religious activities in this country.

There is a fine line BTW preaching and advertising?
What of the CHOSEN LOGO I see everywhere? Uhhhm

This is wonderful. For all the religious bigot condemning him, I have a question for you, just mention one European country where this religion madness is allowed? Preach in the bus, train or public place in US, UK or any other country and have yourself bundle out of the place. You cannot constitute nuisance in the name of evangelism irrespective of religion. El-rufia ride on. We need it all over Nigeria.

crixtex:

No doubt about that but responsibility and concern for other people's welfare should be exercised in dispensing the gospel.

When the preaching methods constitute discomfort and nuisance to others then the aim of the preaching would have been defeated.
