   BISHOP MATTHEW SPOKE BITTER TRUTH NOT PARABLES!

Parable is a fiction used to elucidate moral principles mostly in religious conversations or teachings in order to expose ethical truths of a discussion!

Sixty-eight-old Roman Catholic Bishop Kukah, an indigene of Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria, and current head of the Sokoto Diocese, a very outspoken and critic of bad governance, in his 2020 Christmas Message exposed the indisputable truth that President Muhammadu Buhari’s penchant for NEPOTISM was the root cause of insecurity, political and economic crisis in Nigeria; not in a parable but as those evil issues had consistently manifested in Buhari’s 66-month-old administration!

Those assertions and many more truths raised in the Man of God’s treatise, jolted President Buhari’s political surrogates, sycophants, service chiefs, and the entire gamut of operatives of the various security networks and Coalition of Northern Groups some of who were audacious to assert that the Bishop had called for a military coup and should be promptly arrested, charged for the offence of treason or taken before the International Court of Justice [ICC], at the Hague, for prosecution!

They also claimed that his “outburst” was an attempt to cause violence along religious differences which could lead to a type of genocide as witnessed in the country of Rwanda in 1994!

ARE THE FOLLOWING ASSERTIONS IN RESPECT OF INSECURITY MANIFESTING IN NIGERIA OR NOT?

Incessant bloodshed through killings by Boko Haram terrorists, extra-judicial summary executions, invasions by bandits across the nation, sorrow and death at Christmas through bombings of worship places, for example, St. Theresa Catholic Church, Madala, Abuja, on Christmas Day, 2011!

Domestic/community violence, random kidnappings of school children, first at Chibok, Bornu State, then Dapchi, Adamawa State and Kankara, Katsina, the President’s State, which was also a bee-hive of orchestrated banditry!
A collapsed economy, double-digit inflation culminating into another season of recession etc/

NNAMDI KANU A PROFESSED SECESSIONIST!

When the leader of the proscribed secessionist Movement of the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra [MASSOB], fugitive Nnamdi Kanu came out boldly to declare that the Eastern States of Nigeria should be ceded to form a separate republic, he was roundly condemned by patriots, arrested and arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction before he absconded and jumped bail!

But when the Muslim Rights Concern [MURIC], Arewa Youth Forum, [AYF], Miyetti Allah, the Fulani Socio-Cultural Association and some leaders of thought of the Northern extraction, regularly advocated a break up of North and the South along tribal/religious line from the inception of President Muhammadu Buhari’s, nepotistic-inclined administration, from 2015 to date, heaven did not fall and no group has been arrested for foisting secessionist agenda!

Nigeria, as presently constituted under the 1999 Military crafted Constitution of the Federal Republic, did not make provision for disintegration or dismemberment of the conglomerate, therefore no group of people within the national entity could opt out of the federation under any reason or guise!
In addition, it is clearly spelt out in the sacred document that a coup de tat in any disguise will be regarded as an aberration, tantamount to treasonable felony and punishable by death!

BISHOP KUKAH HAS SAID THE MIND OF NIGERIANS.

The fearless, faithful, truthful and indefatigable Catholic cleric in the year 2020 Christmas message to Nigerians at home and the Diaspora titled “A Nation in Search of Vindication”, spoke against  injustice and degradation of life which placed an insignificant percentage of the population in positions of leadership over the larger masses, play the role of task masters, live larger than life, in stupendous opulence amidst tears of weeping, gnashing of teeth, agony and pain of citizens they gleefully refer to as “poor masses”!

Bishop Kukah strongly believes that only the truth can set the citizens free in the face of subtle tyranny of maladministration which always constituted dark clouds of death at every Christmas!

AND We affirm that if the heterogeneous language, tribal, cultural, and religious sentiments of Nigeria are placed in the right perspectives, the nation’s diversity should be harnessed to advantage rather than rancor and commotion in national conversations and discussions!

Antagonists of Matthew Kukah claimed that he was anti-Buhari because Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who was his preferred candidate in the 1999 Presidential Election lost to the incumbent and not because he was concerned about the plight of the citizens as such!

BELLOW ARE OTHER KUKAH’S CONCERNS OVER INSECURITY IN NIGERIA – ARE THEY TRUE OR FALSE?
He predicted, “ Another Christmas with Dark Clouds of Death!” TRUE – Boko Haram terrorists attacked Pemi Village, about 20 km to Maiduguri, on Christmas eve, killed at least seven people, burnt down several houses and looted tons of food items!
Let me paraphrase the holy prophet Isaiah who said: “For Jerusalem (Nigeria’s sake), I will not be silent until her vindication shines forth like the dawn…..No more shall people call you forsaken, or your land desolate, but you shall be called my delight and your land espoused.” (Is. 62:1,4).

Against the backdrop of our endless woes, ours has become a nation wrapped in desolation. The prospects of a failed state stare us in the face: endless bloodletting, a collapsing economy, social anomie, domestic and community violence, kidnappings, armed robberies etc. Ours has become a house of horror with fear stalking our homes, highways, cities, hamlets and entire communities. - ….. we are not faced with a crisis or conflict between Christians and Muslims. Rather, like the friends of Job, we need to humbly appreciate the limits of our human understanding. Terror is a product of hate, but while hate tries to divide us, terror and death should pull us together. The larger issues now are whether the federal government understands the evil web of intrigues into which Boko Haram has tied it. Will the federal government continue to reward and fund Boko Haram by playing its game? – TRUE!

A Nation in Search of Vindication:

This government owes the nation an explanation as to where it is headed as we seem to journey into darkness. The spilling of this blood must be related to a more sinister plot that is beyond our comprehension. Are we going to remain hogtied by these evil men or are they gradually becoming part of a larger plot to seal the fate of our country?

President Buhari deliberately sacrificed the dreams of those who voted for him to what seemed like a programme to stratify and institutionalize northern hegemony by reducing others in public life to second class status. He has pursued this self-defeating and alienating policy at the expense of greater national cohesion. Every honest Nigerian knows that there is no way any non-Northern Muslim President could have done a fraction of what President Buhari has done by his nepotism and gotten away with it. There would have been a military coup a long time ago or we would have been at war. The President may have concluded that Christians will do nothing and will live with these actions. He may be right and we Christians cannot feel sorry that we have no pool of violence to draw from or threaten our country. However, God does not sleep. We can see from the inexplicable dilemma of his North. – VERY TRUE!

One Northern Imam after the other have posted videos of lamentation on the social media asking why, with all the cards of power in the hands of northern Muslims, everything is bursting in the seams. How come our region has become a cesspool of blood and death? Why did President Buhari hand over a majority of the plum jobs to Northern Muslims? Was it for efficacy and efficiency? What was the logic? President Buhari must pause and turn around because his policy of nepotism has been rejected by the gods. – VERY TRUE!

IT WAS HIGH TIME PRESIDENT BUHARI BROKE THE SHACKLES OF NEPOTISM!

From all the preceding expressions of woes and tribulations faced by Nigerian citizens under his watch, President Muhammadu Buhari, does not seem to be the man WE all voted for as the “messiah” to run TWO TERMS in office and FIX NIGERIA! BUT in spite of all of our reservations with regards to his very glaring failures, We need to remind him that as he desperately sought to occupy the number ONE SEAT, he MUST desperately fulfill all his CONSTITUTIONAL DUTIES, as stipulated without further untenable excuses!

Fix endemic institutional corruption from which INSECURITY draws its strength; according to his avowed campaign promise in order to save his already dented and dwindling image! Stop all executive and legislative lootings of the treasury and personally monitor BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION to ensure that UNSPENT FUNDS ARE RETURNED TO THE TREASURY SINGLE ACCOUNT ANNUALLY!
As a retired Military General, he must get out of Aso Villa to oversight the progress at the various TRENCHES to boost morale of the troops who are still unable to win the war against Boko Haram terrorism/banditry which had stretched for over ELEVEN YEARS due to bad management of men and resources! The President has no excuse for still keeping his already tired and spent service chiefs!
The economy must be fixed very quickly in order to avoid FOOD INSECURITY! Northern farmers must be protected from terrorists who now slaughter them on their farms in order to create food shortage for the nation!
He should urgently discard his doctrine of nepotism and embrace the FEDERAL CHARACTER arrangement for an all-encompassing success through a strong and united ministerial management team! 

PRESIDENT BUHARI MUST NOT DEPART OFFICE IN DISGRACE! TWO AND A HALF YEARS IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO REDEEM HIS IMAGE! “A word is enough for the Wise!” We wish all our esteemed readers a happy and blessed new year.
