Senate’s ₦50,000 Fine for In-Transit Preaching Stirs Free Speech Debate

The Federal Government must tread carefully in religious matters. The Senate just passed the FRSC Act Amendment Bill, imposing a ₦50,000 fine on anyone preaching, hawking, or trading inside commercial vehicles. This measure defies common sense. Preaching is no different from ordinary conversation. If loud music, political debate, or chatting is allowed on transit, why single out preaching? As long as it’s by consent and doesn’t distract the driver, it shouldn’t be banned. We need to rethink this restriction. Don’t persecute Christ, or the nation will face consequences.
