The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Rev. Matthew Kukah, has said nothing was wrong with the agitation for Biafra by members of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra.Kukah, who said this on Friday night at the convocation lecture of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, added that the pro-Biafra agitators were exercising the freedom of expression.

The clergyman advised the Federal Government to partner with the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, saying the government should seek to do business with him because of his charisma.

The bishop further said no Nigerian politician could mobilise a huge number of supporters like Kanu without paying them, saying the government did not need to hound this kind of person but to partner with him.Kukah said: “This country cannot continue this way. MASSOB has right to demand Biafra since we have freedom of expression. The problem of Nigeria should not be with Kanu but should be with who let the door open.

“The President of Nigeria or any governor, unless he pays, cannot bring the number of people that Kanu brought out. The anxiety of Nigeria should be that a young man who can bring out such great number of people is worth doing business with.”

The cleric also bemoaned the state of Nigerian universities. He said the management as well as lecturers should be blamed if some students failed to graduate.

Kukah stated that students had a say in the promotion of their lecturers in some universities but that was not the case in the nation’s varsities.

“Elsewhere, students have a say in the promotion of their teachers but here in Nigeria, too many evils are being committed. We need a generation of lawyers and judges who can bend the arc of justice in favour of the poor,” he added.

In his opening remarks, the Vice-Chancellor of the OAU, Prof. Bamitale Omole, said the university remained the best in the country, saying many feats had been achieved since he assumed office.

True story. And I envy the nigga for that.

Other than that, I do not agree with his methods. NO true nation is built on hate and casting aspersions on the 'other'.

'Na dem, na dem'.... na so Hitler use start to dey kill Jews.
'Na dem, na dem" na so South Africans start to dey attack fellow Africans
'Na dem, na dem' na so we Igbos dey use dey die for Northern States..

Till date, no one has been charged for the atrocities so called 'fellow' citizens inflicted on us. Yet, we still stand And that's all that matters.

Nnamdi Kanu, by his actions, has used a 'legitimate struggle' for illegitimate means. If he had directed this anger at our Igbo representatives and Governors who failed to represent our struggles at the Federal, but rather chose to represent their pockets, I'd be fully in support of IPOB. It's the same manner the militants from the creeks claimed to be fighting for the people, while they've enriched themselves and set up schools and business outside the region.

ka Chukwu mere anyi n'ile ebere.

bishop kukah and prof wale soyinka are some of the few Nigerians I respect so well...they always stand in reality and truth

He is popular because he Is truthful and loves his people and hates injustice . People who did not understand him will never understand him Nnamdi kanu is full of wisdom .. just listen to him on radio . Such personality is very scarce in black race

I think the bishop was paid by GEJ and Nnamdi KANU to say that...

hope am right my brothers...... from the W
No, maybe he has a girl friend from the East like FFK. abi.....


maybe he is saying this so that the Easterners will vote for him come 2019 to become PDP Presidential flag bearer .

God bless you Man of God...

He is a charismatic leader of a sect. He appeals to peoples interest through emotional tantrums. People of his kind always pull more crowd than politicians.
Kukah should know better.

He should delve into partisan politics and seek political office. His popularity and followership will evaporate.

Oshiomhole was once like that.

he is a dolt...a stupid adult. moat people talk without sense. because he was able to be sponsored pay some disgruntled goats who protest over nothing- he now pulls a crowd even more larger than buhari?

SMH


Biliv this, the next "BUHARI" is a cult on its own in the north...

and did u mean to say if kanu contested as a presidential candidate, he will pull more crowd? how? with hate preachings and what exactly?

if u're talking of the east, yea, correct. but apart from there, where else?

even Ojukwu didn't win his district!

Who posted this on nairaland? Have you yet to hear of new rule on nairaland -promote ye not biafra? ?



This is why I maintain that Seun should relax. The word count of biafra on nairaland is not going to diminish anytime soon because even d grass will bring it here.

kukah (cry) talks without thinking. Honestly
