"Buhari has done a terrible job as President of Nigeria"- Bishop Matthew Kukah
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 เม.ย. 2022
- Yesterday, the Presidency of Nigeria reacted to the criticism of the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Reverend Matthew Hassan Kukah, who in his Easter message titled, 'To mend a broken nation: The Easter metaphor', had alleged that every aspect of life in the country had been destroyed while corruption was enthroned under President Muhammadu Buhari.
The bishop, who also criticised the president over his government's "inability to tackle insecurity and corruption", further claimed that President Buhari had divided Nigerians on the basis of ethnicity, religion, and region.
In a press release by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, he said that "For a man who has been spreading hate for decades, nothing new in the homily, except for the fact that while millions of Christians were remembering the Lord's crucifixion on Friday, His descent on Saturday, His resurrection on Sunday, and subsequent appearance to his disciples, Bishop Matthew Kukah was playing politics. From his pulpit he devoted his Easter message not to Christ's death and rebirth so Man might be saved - but to damning the government in the most un-Christian terms.
Our guest is Reverend Matthew Hassan Kukah, from Sokoto State of Northern Nigeria.

Truthful, Straightforward, Brilliant, Exposed, Sound and Educated. These are what define Bishop Matthew Kukah. You are a shining light to this nation.
I have utmost respect for Bishop Matthew Kukah. A scholar extraordinaire. He took the special assistants to the cleaners.
Powerful presentation as usual!

Spot On/ Don't Take Lecture From Illiterate, I Completely Agree 💯%
It only takes love of a beloved country to speak truth to power. It’s only the truth that can set Nigeria and Nigerians free especially in a word where truth is elusive.
Nigeria is a failed experimental country and irredeemable.
DISSOLUTION IS THE ONLY SOLUTION.
HigH£uk£
An eloquent speaker of truth, the way the Bishop schooled the illiterate presidential spokesmen is unprecedented..God bless you Bishop.

Arise News, whenever you're inviting such person in your studio, please do extent the interview time to 1hr or more. I enjoyed every word that came out of his mouth.
I have loved this Bishop Kukah right from my childhood. Very eloquent and intelligent speaker. May you live long to speak truth to power ijmn. We love you always sir
Swerugahd,same here man,took cognizance of him in the 2000s via my dad always listening to him
He reps the word LEARNED.
"Conscience is an open wound, only the Truth can heal it". I am a Muslim, but if there is one Christian leader I respect so deeply, it's Bishop Kukah. Candid, Open minded and Honest especially on Public issues. I like the way he put Femi and Garba in their rightful places. I also remember vividly in 2016 he made the comment about the fight against corruption and making sure the Economy shouldn't suffer...BMC guys went berserk but how ironic he's now been validated.
May God help Nigeria but President Buhari has done a pretty terrible job especially as it relates to the Economy and the Unity of the country. Let's hope 2023 ushers in a new dawn.
Fairplay to you 👍🏿
Were you around during Jonathan regime when kukah was one of the benefit of the Jonathan government?
Do you realize that he's currently a member of the presidential advisory committee. If that amounts to being a beneficiary of Buhari's government. You guys just comment without thinking. So dumb
I appreciate your candour but I don't share your optimism about 2023. You and I need to do so much more than hope. We need to take position, opposition and challenge the status quo. The future of Nigeria is at the very least bleak. We need to stand up to determine what that future ought to look like. A future we cannot see clearly is not promised to us. At this stage of Nigeria's evolution, we need a vision of the nation we need our children and their children will grow old in. Will they live? Will they live long enough to be proud of the sacrifices this generation would have made? Are we going to make these needed sacrifices?
President Buhari lacks ability to manage Diversity, he is so tribalistic, and this is one reason why the economy is suffering, we have security problems and the government has failed, everyone in a society should be carried along, anyone who has studied diversity under social studies would tell you this, it looks very insignificant but it carries a lot of weight in every society.
Bishop Kukah is one of the rarest gift to Nigeria at least for saying the truth like God Himself. He a potential Saint if he continues on this track.
When an intellectual with wisdom and passion speaks, you listen to update your knowledge to empower you to do the things right. Thank you my Lord, God bless your courage.
Revrend Kukah is the original jagaban of Nigerian politics.Everything he said 7 and half years ago have been fulfilled.Happy 70th birthday, I wish you many happy returns, llnp sir.

God bless Bishop Kukah and others who speak the Truth !!!! Buhari's Regime is indeed undemocratic !!!!
Brilliant human!!!!!!!!!. He is an example of our sound human capital that government have failed to create an environment for.
Bishop Kukah is a blessing to Nigeria - North and South! A man with understanding of the now. Your exposition on Caesar and God is excellent. God is sovereign over peoples, government and money! When it comes to Christianity they shout separate faith and politics, but for Muslims faith is politics... This robbery must now stop, the house owners are woken from slumber!
Bishop Kukah God bless and keep you Sir. Keep saying the truth Sir. May God give us more truthful Nigerians who can speak the truth irrespective of whose ox is gored. Thank you sir.

Illiteracy and incompetence in this subject called Nigeria just got humbled by those with superiority and mastery of the same subject. Thank you Bishop.
Nigeria as a nation must accept the truth and make corrections instead of causing pains to the masses. Bishop Kukah has spoken very well and shouldn't be called bad names by anyone at all.
A colossus. His use of words is admirable. Top notch. Thank you Bishop Kukah
You have made my day Bishop and God bless you sir! In the eyes of someone that think he is smart all others are fools whereas he is the biggest fool. Thank you sir!
The part he said 'I am not going to take lecture from illiterate' got me rolling on the flaw. Bishop M Kukah God bless you sir.
This man exudes intelligence... I love you Bishop. God keep you
Can other men of God come out and speak up? This country is sinking for heaven sake.🤦🏼
God bless you reverend kukah.
You want their benefactors to stop giving them money?
@@georgeokoro1149 That's the problem with us in this country. Some of the so called men of God see all this politician as there god cos of the money they give them.
@@mosesrino.g3209One governor who has been owing the state workers for six months donated 100 million to a Catholic Church in the East. The bishop gave him a prestigious title in the Church as a result. That was the day I decided I was done with it all.
Oh you mean miners of gold aka "men of God" who have endowed carnality with a good name?! Do you want them to lose their sources of "prosperity"? 'nuff said.
I wish the interview didn't finish. My God, this man is an intellectual. Garba Shehu & Femi Adesina has been taken to the 🗑. Good for both of you.
Well said Rev we need more of this to expose this evil leaders in Nigeria. Most of these in government are blind folded by the truth the Country is not moving forward. We need a leader with passion and vision.
EWOOOOOOOOOO I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW THIS MAN WILL BE THIS TRUTHFUL. THIS MAN IS WHAT WE NEED IN NIGERIA. GREAT JOB BISHOP. I HAVE A BIG AND HUGE HUG FOR HIM.
Bishop love you so much from Germany. You are one thousand. Keep on saying the truth. Truth will set you free.
Holy Spirit speaking through the voice of God’s messenger!
Bishop Kukah is what we need now
I love you His Lordship, Bishop M.H. Kukah, you have paid your dues sir. There's no need debating with illiterate figures in the villa.
President Buhari has failed us as a country.
Nigerians, You need to pay very close attention to what this inteligent man is saying, despite religión, tribe or party. Go back to the 44 page political Manifestó of the Buhari administration coming into office and ask yourselves what have they achieved on it. Then ask them to account for their failures before you decide to vote in 2023. Their report card should be based on their successful completion of Manifestó items. Would you promote the APC if their peformance is an F? You couldn't chance Nigeria if you did so. Come on Nigerians, in a democracy, you, the People, are in charge. Demostrarte your power to change things by letting your vote count. Vote in a government that is accountable to you and hold them accountable every step of the way. You cannot afford to be spectators in this game of Survival. The future of your country dependes on what you do now!
God bless you Bishop. You are one in a million. We adore you my lord Bishop
Wow,I never knew this bishop is so sound and well exposed like this,infact,bishop kukah is well intelligent than all the ministers in buahri's cabinet
This man is the best,Bishop Kukah speaks the truth,buhari is by far the worst president ever in the history of Nigeria, buhari is extremely tribal,Bishop Mathew Kukah,a man of God,a defender of truth a man who tells it like it,his criticism of the failed government is valid, no truthful person will say this are well under this hateful buhari government,bravo to you Bishop KUkah
Watched it twice & saved. ….Simply Brilliant.
It's worth being on repeat,we've been shy of ppl feigning men of God speaking up directly to power in this countrt
Truth is like a large pill heavy to swallow. Man I'd always honor.
We need more Bishops and top ministers to speak up like this.
God bless you Bishop. You are a blessing to our generation 🙏. We need more of you in Nigeria. Voice of the voiceless!
Another intellect I don't regret listening to!
Only that it ended sooner than the guest, the audience and even the anchors expected.
I swear,had to pause my going out just to finish listening to him.
I wonder how those spokesmen sleep in the night listening to words like these n still feigning all is well

"I am political but I am not a politician"
Word
Very deep
Love listening to Fr Kukah anyday.The panel couldn't shake this one.They just listened.
Where the truth is, it is completely devoid of argument. They have to listen because that is the true position. Dr. Abati could relate to most instances Fr. Kuka cited.
This ones always listen. But Somna Sambo does not listen. He likes to interject and interrupt the trend of flow of his guests.
Hahahahah no journalist of any calibre would have interupt such submission
Thank you Rev Kukah for your passion and service to Nigeria. I love Rev Kukah's sound mind and his ability to disect issues intellectually. If Nigeria has 10 Kukahs, we would have a different country today.
"I am not going to take lectures from ILLITERATES"... I love that. The Bishop has put that circus of lai, femi, and garba exactly where it belongs.
I love that sentence as well. 'I am not going to take lectures from ILLITERATES' I think the Rev Father describes them well.
And they are not willing to take up his challenge for a debate. They know it won't end well for them
@@francisugwu5638 NEVER it will only expose their ignorance more
I would buy this man's book. A northern Christian this eloquent and brave, needs his words on marble because he's a rare gem, an endangered and precious species.
Bishop Kukah is an intelligent man. Well spotted.
I know he writes and his books would be vitally useful for the validation of documentation of chronicles of this very dark period of Nigeria's history. Initially, I was upset that he kept mentioning that upcoming book. But I changed my mind. We need that book for the sanity of the coming generations. Not just the small money that Kukah will raise to do better things than those we have managing our resourses in Nigeria today. I also admire his intellectual arrogance.
OMG this is the my first hear this bishop speaks. He is a genius and courageous.
Very apt, my lord bishop! Always speaking truth to power. "If you agree with me, if you don't agree with me, let's clarify the issues". A true leader

Well said Bishop Kukah. You are a great man of God and a public intellectual. Don't take lectures from illiterates.

Hahahah u spot on the issues
Very rich conversation indeed. Bishop Kukah is a man any reasonable person will love to listen to anytime any day. Of course he has analyse everything. May God continue to strengthen you with the courage to speak truth to power at all times.
I have goose pimples just listening to the self evident truths in Bishop Kukah's statements, 'what makes democracy work is intangible, things like freedom of expression, expanding the frontiers of human knowledge...' Beautiful expressions of the idea of democracy that is often lost to us!
Very few people heard that... Very deep.

Omoh see books now 😲 No wonder he is so super intellectual!
I my self have gone through the whole of that speech and the fact is: anyone who finds fault in bishop kukahs speech is seriously suffering from amnesia and should go see a psychiatrist for that. Lack of comprehension is what is worrying that gullible sycophant and to think that he is a presidential spokesperson is what is instigating the more. His lordship you have said it all because this country is completely broken and it takes only the grace of God for it to be revived. And that can only happen if we Nigerians our way especially our politicians so to say.
Your excellence sir, thank you so much for telling our president the truth from the office of or Most High God. You've said it all sir. And may the truth set and keep you for us. In Jesus Name .Amen.
May the Almighty God bless Father Kukah with long life and everything good. Amen.
Amen
Amen
Amen and Amen
Thank you Bishop Kukah for always boldly speaking the truth. God please intervene in our country Nigeria.Things are terribly bad. Nepotism, insecurity,bad economy, selfish and clueless leaders.
A blistering rebuke from Bishop Kukah. They met their match.
I love it. Those illiterates & crumb chasers spokesmen need to be called what they are.
He is beyond their Match. He is much more..... And Exceeding their excellence.
He is not their match n can never be , he schooled them they are illiterates

Keep speaking truth to power Bishop Kukah , the Lord is your strength. You're a very brilliant man father.
I'm Muslim but this man of God is one of genuine leaders of religion God bless you sir ❤
I can listen to Bishop Kukah all day. His views on national issues are topnotch. Great man. Great interview.
Padre Kukah ain't bereft of knowledge at all
If I could like this 1 million times I would. God bless and protect you always Bishop Matthew. Amazing intelligence and the truth. May God judge Buhari and his administration who are mostly just yes men.
Wow!!! Bishop Kukah, my hubby forwarded this to me and he texted underneath it that if I dont read any other article again this week, this interview should make my wee, and it actually did. God made you for this period, and he will continually strengthen and protect you father Kukah, the voice of the voiceless.
I'm glad we still have people who have not lost hope in this country but are within the confine of their God given positions advocating for good governance which is equally beneficial to both the godly and the ungodly. God bless you father Kukah!
Wow this Bishop is among those who will save Nigeria. It's sad, he's kind are not enough.
Rev father Kukah God bless you for standing for the truth. Other political and materialistic pastors can not be upright like Bishop Kukah.
Bishop Hassan Mathew Kukah...the last Bishop standing in Nigeria. God bless you continually your Lordship. 🙇♀🙏
Yes, You have said it All
Articulate, cerebral, stimulating and speaking truth to power. In addition to the sacked imam of Abuja mosque, listening to Bishop Kukah gave one a bit of hope that not everyone has thrown in the towel to allow this incompetent govt have a field day.
Intellectual ability has always been the strength of Bishop Kukah and I respect him a great deal that he has remained steadfast over the years. What I find missing in the leadership circle is the absence of healthy intellectual debate. Truth is Nigerians always elect leaders with shallow intellectual ability. Until we shift from this position it will be difficult to reach the political promised land. We must engage our politicians in healthy political discourse to access their ability to lead us. Sentiments must take the back seat. We need more of Father Kukah in Nigeria.

Very intelligent Bishop. God bless you His Grace.
Bishop Matthew Kukah whenever I hear you, you deh give me JOY
Garba and Adesina forgot that hot soup does not spare the finger neither does a well ripe banana peel the legs. They both matched the poo of a vulture and must dance to the tunes of the spirits.
Rev.Kukah was even magnanimous in describing their redundancy as well as mismatch for the positions they occupy, running Nigeria for the president as a badly managed cobler's shop.
Thank you very much Arise TV and His Lordship, Most Reverend Matthew Kukah, for this highly educative and insightful interview. The Bishop is a Priest, a true Leader, and an awe-inspiring intellectual.
My Bishop, May God Almighty continue to bless, keep and provide for all your needs, in Jesus name, Amen.

Forget the slave boy.

"We are killing democracy in Nigeria"- Bishop Kukah
Arewa greedy selfish elites are killing democracy in your fake wan nijeryaah...
BMK Always on point...no contest,no faking,.He is no doubt a straight talker that always speaks truth to power.
Thank you Bishop Kukah for this insightful, truthful, profound, robust and highly intellectual expose! A true patriot who fearlessly speaks truth to power. No matter how hard they try, you cannot be gagged! That's the beauty of democracy!
Nothing can be done against the truth! Weldone sir,for all your efforts,you have indeed consistently paid your dues! Looking forward to your book!
Right on, preacher. "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32).
Bishop Kukah am proud of you. May God continue to renew His grace and protection on you as you continue to speak the truth to power.
Unbeatable Bishop, ordained to fight the cause of the poor.
Bishop you are really a man of the most High God and God is always with you. Thank you for coming out to say the raw truth. LONG LIFE TO YOU SIR.
Thank you for speaking out the unadulterated truth. You are the voice of the voiceless Nigerians.
Thank you BISHOP KUKAH.....you are a truly great man of GOD, you tell and suggest it as it should be..

Bishop kuka reminds me Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa. Dr . Uche
People that says the truth aren’t ask too much questions because their words are straight
سيد. انت مبارك. جزاك الله خير. Sayid Anta Mubarak Jazakallahu khaira Sir you are blessed God would reward you excellently The truth is better "bamu bamu ni moyo emi komo pe ebi pa baba enikokan" meaning they are enjoying the goodies of this administration with no care of Nigerians suffering
This is appropriate, enjoyed every question and reply from Bishop Kukah. Better to answer a fool lest he thinks he is wise. Worst collection of fools in offices. Wasters of life and material resources. Nigeria will heal, Femi and Garba will remember how nasty they have lived these past years... Power will soon change hands.
Great rebuttal from Bishop Kukah. In my opinion, Adesina, Garba and Lia have been in a terrible fix serving this government. Ordinarily, their job would have been to clarify government policies, bridge communication gaps between the government and the people and help to make the government stand well with the people. They are unable to fulfil these roles because the government they are serving is bereaved of sellable content. Unfortunately, they see only one way out of the fix: Attack and discredit anyone who attempts to criticize the government. Bishop Kukah served them very hot.
If anybody listens to the Bishop and still finds fault in him then something is wrong.
I love this interview. Bishop Kukah is an extremely brilliant and well read person. Thanks for your beautiful comments.
I love you my Lord Bishop! For your ways of life: fearlessness, boldness, truthfulness, outspokenness, competency, genuineness, persistence, forthsightness, consistency and intelligent! So stand firm, bold, strong and tall forever through Jesus Christ Our Lord, amen.
God bless you sir! You have spoken well, I salute you!
Father, God Bless and keep you, you are simply a blessing to our Nation
For the very first time I listened to Bishop with keen interest to unravel the mystery behind his Easter message. Wow!!!
Learned. Wise. Truthful. Passionate. Fearless. I just wish Garba Shehu and Femi Adeshina would pick up the challenge to discuss Nigeria with the Bishop!!!
My Highest Respect Bishop Kukah!
Bishop kukah continue to educate the public. God never separated the church from governance and politics. Ride on . Silence at this time is sin for any man of God. Elijah was never silent in national crisis. God bless you.
God bless you Bishop Kukah Mathew may God keep protecting you and keep you for us.
That was a patriot talking there. when you are speaking the truth, you don't have to think hard.
We did not Elect Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu. They can’t if defend the policies that their master is implementing, rather they resorted to personal attacks of critics.
Insightful. Bishop, I pray to God to prolong your life to continue to enlighten Nigerians. The insecurity and other economic down being experienced are reflections of leadership in Nigeria
I never regret listen to this Bishop.
