ON MALLAM EL-RUFAI'S "ANTI-CHRISTIAN" BILL

Here's the comment I made on the post where I got a copy of the Bill (Thanks Samuel and Brymore).

"I think it is wise to know what is involved in obtaining a license. My gut feeling is that this bill conflicts with a fundamental human right - freedom of association. Some people do not believe in the "ideals" of CAN. There's PFN so why have they been excluded? I believe the bill addresses fundamental issues BUT it violates at least one fundamental human right. I hope the Kaduna State Assembly does not pass this bill in its current form..."

Some may think it's just about addressing Noise Pollution and stopping false prophets from milking the people. What I know is that when the promoters of this bill talk, they will not tell us how the bill makes all Christians in Kaduna become CAN stooges or how Shias are excluded...I sincerely hope the Kaduna State House of Assembly does not pass the bill as it is. They should ask the governor to deal with the part that takes away people's freedom of worship/association then reintroduce the bill...After all, the NASS rejected Senator Olujimi's bill and we're told it would be reintroduced after the portions that conflict with religion and cultural practices are expunged...

An injustice in Kaduna is an injustice in Nigeria...
