The Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Matthew Kukah has charged the Federal Government of Nigeria to settle out of Court with leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

Kukah added that the violence erupting the Southeast region of Nigeria could be nipped in the bud by the Federal Government and Southeast leaders.

The fiery bishop, in an interview with BBC News Pidgin, stated that the violence in Southeast was avoidable.

According to Kukah, the sit-at-home tactics adopted by IPOB would not solve the situation, as it would further entrenched poverty in the region.

He asked the people in the Southeast to learn from what is happening in the north and decide if that was what they wanted.

“You told people to sit at home and they must eat. You told people not to do things, but what is their reward? The something is that when it entered a situation when brothers kill brothers everyday, it means the people are not using their head,” he said.

Kukah said agitation was not a bad thing, but that he did not under the kind of agitation by IPOB, saying that the best thing they should have done was to join politics and vote their people into power to fight their matter.

Kukah is an idiot.

Nnamdi kanu should first apologise to buhari and Igbo's and beg for mercy.

Kukah is not a Christian but a businessman.

If you hadn't realised that by now, then I'm sorry for you.

CaptainAyub:

Lol.
You are an islamabad man so you won't understand what it is to be a Catholic priest talk more of Bishop.
You obviously don't know Kukah is from southern Kaduna and his ppl have been in d receiving end of buhari and his brothers' terror.
Why does Kukah need to engage in business when when he dies,his car and everything he owns includes his clothes will go back to the church?

Philistine:
Settle out of Court with a Terrorist group? Maybe FG should also explore the option of settling out of Court with Boko haram. Some of this men of God will just be opening their mouth like fowl Nyash.

Nnamdi kanu should first apologise to buhari and Igbo's and beg for mercy.

So after settling out of court what happens to these people?

He goes back to his radio to incite violence and kill more Igbo's and increase donations?

Commentor:


Which car?

Is Mbaka not Catholic as well?

Eating in the name of the Lord is as old as the gospel itself.

Better upgrade.
