Days ago, I came across this news online and I was stunned by the content. without wasting much time I will go straight to it.

EL-RUFAI NEW LAWS
the government of kaduna state is about to pass a bill that will hurt christans in that state. Here are some of the laws.

* In Kaduna you cannot preach without license
* Every preacher will have to 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.

The bill, if pasted into law will prohibit sales
of religious books too.

Brothers/sisters in the Lord, this is same persecution talked about in the bible by the apostles.

This is a time to include the Christians all over the nation in your daily prayers especially those in the north.

yes, based on the reports of past inquiries into kaduna crisis plus the recent findings on the SHIA case. successive government have had these reports but couldn't find a subtle way of acting on them till now for concerns as the ones you raised.

So in your mind the ways of acting on them is to stop people from practicing their religion? ? do you realise if a particular church is not given license, that church is closed automatically? ?

why try to cover the truth?

this has to be done for security reasons until such a time kaduna indigens show enough civility and maturity to practice their belief without hatred,rancour,hence, the measure is only temporal.
NB; crisis in kaduna have always been political but disguised as religious so the instigators can walk free,this will check that.

I get your point but one simple question. Does it affect other religion in northern kaduna just like it's affecting those (Christians) in the southern part??

because u claim for security reasons, churches need to be checked, to the extent of closing some by refusing them license and halting ministers from outside kaduna to minister in any church.

Is it the preaching of the christians that incited the unrest /riots?
Will a ban on religious activity, prevent riots? No.
It is the muslims that need to be checked because they're intolerant radicals.
Using, islamic motivated unrest to clamp down on christian activity is evil. The main thrust of that law is to silence christianity.
Christian books,illegal.
Cant listen to preaching in your car ,hunh!
Total b.s.
Watch, other nothern states will follow suite under the guise of "preventing religious unrest"
