  Your article on noise pollution is an issue most Ghanaians do not know it's importance. I've been complaining about the level noise in all aspects that you've aforementioned. People just brush it off, and say we have more pressing needs to think about, not realizing it's a major health issue. I hope the Government finally wakes up and smell the coffee. I do not have anything against my muslim brothers, but the loudspeaker at 3am is also a sleep buster and irritating. Can we all come together and make Ghana a civilized world and noise free ?

  God bless you for this article. My brother, I am considering selling my house and re-locating to a rented apartment because an incredibly noisy church in my neighbourhood. I am somebody with a high blood pressure and each time the church has an all night programme, I must visit the clinic the next day.
  
  In the civilized world you cannot even flush your toilet at certain times of the night for fear of waking up neighbours. I have complained to the pastor and his team but the more I complained the louder it gets. I have complained to the police and all the do is refer me to the environmental unit. Indeed, I have complained to the environmental unit and they have done. I am just sorry for this country. Sometimes when people cannot find channels to complain they resort to taking the law into their hands. I have thought of many options to seek redress, but the only options now left is to leave a building I have spent all my life putting up. Indeed, God is witness to all what we do. And I do not think he will listen to a prayer that upsets the next door neighbour.
