A UK-based Nigerian lady has taken to social media to share her experience after her neighbour allegedly reported her to local authorities for ‘noise pollution.’
In a post that has since gone viral, the woman who appeared to be taking part in the Christian worship session hosted by gospel artist Nathaniel Bassey, received a letter from the city council notifying her that a complaint has been filed against her and that investigations would be carried out in due time.
According to her, she was surprised by the report, because she had no idea that worshipping and singing praises to God from the comfort of her home would be an issue.
The incident has sparked mixed reactions online. While some social media users sympathized with her, others reminded her that the UK has strict noise control laws that apply regardless of religious activity.
The Hallelujah Challenge, led by Nathaniel Bassey, is a virtual worship program where thousands of Christians around the world gather online particularly at midnight to praise and pray.
Below are some of the comments;
“There’s a terminology called ‘Moderation’.”
“Good for you! Why can’t you keep it low. I stream too but the days I’m so tired and really want to sleep, the noise from my neighbor’s won’t let me“
“Oyinbo people no send you Ooo! Do your thing quietly, praise God without disturbing others and HIS name will forever be glorified. Peace and love“
“When your heart is the communication point. I can just be silent but am praying a lot of people don’t know that your heart speaks louder than your mouth.“
