This is absolutely true.I have said this times without number that the problem is not entirely from the occupant of that seat but mainly from the system the occupant finds himself.If the system is not restructured the same outcome will still be obtained.The system is structured in such a way that the president is given so much powers to the extent that he can easily oppress the other arms of government without bathing an eyelid.This is the bane of Nigeria.Nigeria cannot develop with the present system of governance.Not just the executive,even the legislative and the judiciary are all culprits.The system of governance made it so.

A Nigerian president cannot go and start a war in Iraq or remove Libyan president.

You thus can’t be a man of honour and live in a country like Nigeria and not be angry,” he said.

Re: Bishop Kukah: No President In World Can Be Irresponsible As Nigerian President by wink2015(m): 8:23pm On Oct 05, 2018
The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Dr. Matthew Hassan Kukah, has said that no President of any country in the world can be as irresponsible in the usage of power as a Nigerian president.

He made this known in Akure, Ondo State on Friday while delivering the annual Ulefunta/Oyemekun Festival lecture entitled “Building blocks for a good society” held at the Francis Idibiye Lecture hall of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA).

According to Kukah, the structure of the Nigerian presidential office makes the holders of the office extremely powerful, so much that he can deploy power the way he wants.

“No president in the world has the kind of power the Nigerian president has and as such, no president in the world can be as irresponsible as the Nigerian president. His power is so much that he can give oil bloc to his girlfriend and many others. You thus can’t be a man of honour and live in a country like Nigeria and not be angry,” he said.

Kukah said that from the first Nigerian Prime Minister, Alhaji Tafawa Balewa to President Muhammadu Buhari, virtually all of them were dragged into the presidential office, maintaining that this was unlike the presidency of the United States of America where the president does not emerge by circumstance.

“What is the problem? It is the dilemma of leadership. In America, there are basic expectations of what a president should be. For instance, he must have gone through Harvard as an institution, he must have language and track records, not even wealth. You can’t surprise the system.

Here in Nigeria, local government chairman wants to be governor; the governor wants to be president and the president doesn’t want to go! Many states have two governors representing them at the National Assembly. Governors have control and monopoly of resources of state and they use same resources to oppress them,” he said.

Kukah, who said that the Nigerian society is in ferment, maintained that the instability type that Nigeria faces as a country is inevitable in any system.

He, however, said that developing mechanisms that will confront the instability is the hallmark of great countries.

In Nigeria, it is not a question of looking for trouble because trouble is already here. The Nigerian state has no capacity to protect itself and there is no loyalty to Nigeria from its citizens but to those who help individuals to get to positions in the system,” he said.

Kukah, however, singled two former Nigerian leaders out of the leadership rot, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Alhaji Aminu Kano, whom he called “architects of a good society.”

“Awolowo, for his major quintessential evidence as somebody who already figured out what he would do with power if he got it. He understood the building blocks for an egalitarian society. Aminu Kano single handedly took on the feudal class in Northern society and had a deep understanding of society, even as he textually talked about a free society in a way and manner that didn’t offend religion,” he said.

While stating that it is not enough for a people to have the building blocks of a good society alone, Kukah also maintained that Nigeria has not been able to build a good society because the country has not obeyed the rules of design.

“We have to understand the building blocks of society which is not too different from the rules of building a house. A good society is not different from the building blocks of society. When a building collapses, it didn’t collapse in a day. It began to collapse a long time ago. For us to build a good society, we have to have eyes that monitor the needs, growth and development and feelings of that society. Then you can be sure of the quality of that society,” he said.

While reviewing the lecture, Professor Kole Omotoso, lauded Kukah for what he called a very profound lecture and said that the only point of departure he had in the lecture was Kukah’s submission that education has the potential to remedy the problems of Nigeria’s existence.

Guests at the occasion included the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, the chairman of the occasion, and many others.

Very touching and factual comment.

I also think a great Nigeria will be built on the ground that Nigeria is restructured.

We can not continue to operate an oppressive military imposed federalism that share the crude oil money of the good people of the Niger delta region while other region just sit idle.

Leaders emerge by consensus from the people, even when that is inadvertent. Nigerian leaders are just archetype of the people themselves. The values they portray is a reflection of the values the society stands for. Even though many of us will denounce what our leaders do but we are hardly better than them in the way we reason, talk and act. If given opportunity, many of us will behave not differently, if not even worse than our leaders. We are a people who rather than take responsibility for our woes, we always look for others to blame. Proper education might help us, but the question is who will give that education? Same people who can't differentiate left from right? Those who can't separate right from wrong. Our situation is quite precarious. We are in a big dilemma, only miracle of a great magnitude can save us.

On the contrary, after reading reverend Kukah's speech i would say that you are the one not only high of expired weed but also delusional. How can you read such as a Nigerian experiencing the mess our leaders have made of our dear country and you still made such a senseless statement.

Your statement doesn't invalidate reverend kukah's point. Try thinking before you talk. Don't attack the individual, what he said, does it make sense or not? simple

the Nigeria constitution separated the powers very clearly and what it means is the implementation of the said laws. past and present presidents have guilty of this abuse of powers. the law enforcement agency are the people to blame. Nigeria is a failed project Lord Federeck Lugard was short shitted and empty headed. he was the most dumbest British lord of all time.
