Kukah: I’ve Never Been As Unsure About The Future Of This Country As I Am Now by ijustdey: 7:00am On Jan 13, 2017
Matthew Kukah, Catholic arch-bishop of Sokoto diocese, says though he is an optimist, he has never “been as unsure about the future of this country as I am now.”

Speaking on Thursday at the launch of a book, ‘Religion and the making of Nigeria’, Kukah said Nigeria may not be able to stop killings because it has not been able to separate criminality from religion.

He also lamented that the Buhari administration had not been able to deliver on his promises.

“As a Nigerian and a citizen, I have always been an incurable optimist. But I have never been as unsure about the future of this country as I am now,” Kukah said.

“People say they are killing for religion, but intentions are not enough. As it is, we may never be able to prosecute anybody because we have not been able to separate criminality from religion. In Nigeria, we have a feeling that somehow, people can genuinely kill in the name of religion.

“I think that unless Nigeria as a country is prepared to make laws and ensure that all citizens live by same and be answerable by the same law, what we are witnessing is a symptom, not the disease. The creeping inequalities, the inability of this system to deliver has made us uncomfortable.

“The point, therefore, is not for us to keep praying. Should religion lead to the un-making of Nigeria? The answer is ‘No’. But the government of Nigeria should separate religion from politics and economics and let everybody make his claims.”

The 336-page book launched was written by Olufemi Vaughan, a professor for Africana Studies and History at Bowdoin College, in the US.

Kukah, Jonathan's lapdog. You hated Buhari from the start so whatever your position is, I see it as sentimental

Nigeria should separate politics from religion

Why didn't you separate religion from politics when you used your altar as a platform for Jonathan's campaign.

Though the things you said are right but it only makes you a fucking hypocrite and a damn bigot

Looks like religious leaders now support that the country should be divided for good. First it was CAN, then winners GO, now kukah apart from other renown MOGs.


Suddenly they realize we only have two cheeks, if you slap one and we turn the other and you slap it, there is none to turn again. The passivity of Christians during crises has been the major reason these animals won't think twice before they slaughter Christians in the north.

I have said it before, if you hurt me, I'll forgive you. But if my life is threatened or that of my family, I wouldn't mind picking up arms to defend myself, I'll not just kill you if it comes to that, I'll kill all your kinds that are a potential threat to live. I have the right to live as every other person.

If the muslims are hell bent on making this country terrible for the Christians, its high time we prove to them we have a choice. We aren't taking this shit any more.

If the govt has also proven that our lives are no better that the Fulani cows, then its high time we think of defending ourselves.

There is no need been hypocritical about this, if you want to do your Muslim agenda, divide this country now, but as long as this country remain one Nigeria, I have the constitutional right to live and practice my religion at any part of it.

This nonsense must stop.

That your personal opinion not of God because i believe in the God i serve and Will never fail though religion killings are not justifiable but our religious institutions needs to preach and emphasise on religious tolerance and avoid statements that can stair up the system

In summary -prosecute those who kill in the name of religion, criminality is not the same as religion.
How is that hypocrisy?
