National Integration: Our Universities Have Become Incubators for Ethnic Jingoism - Kukah 

There are few people in Nigeria you can't get tired of listening to. Bishop Kukah is one of them

The question people are not willing to ask themselves is, how can you build a nation when some want to be ruled by religious laws that are obnoxious to others?

I wished Nigerians of all creed understand Bishop Kukah's thoughts.

I am never tired of listening to Bishop Kukah. So much to learn, thank you...

I wish this media chat with Bishop Hassan kukah never stopped, he's one man I enjoyed listening to his speach .

This man has been an advocate of peace and progress of Nigeria. I just wish our leaders will adhere to his vission/advise. Thanks Bishop Kuka for believing in Nigeria.

The Tinubu administration should take a clue from Bishop Matthew Kuka's advice in using the nations higher institutions/universities as a vehicle in building a new united nation for sustainable progress 🙏🙏🙏

I always love listening ti Bishop. Take him on any topic you will get the best. Nation building is all our effort. But it's sad when common people does their bit and one politician rubbish everything in few years. I will submit that our leaders should start and people will follow. God bless you sir.

Am surprised and impressed that Dr. Abati has read the book: The Idea of a University. Written by Henry Cardinal Newman in the 1800s

I am always amazed listening to Bishop Kukah, he hits it as it is. Ahmadu Bello planted the seed for the problem we are witnessing in Nigeria today. He was never a nationalist, he was only interested in Fulani/Islamic identity

Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah is an excellent story teller, topnotch political analyst, and a dedicated academic theorist whose eloquence is enviably intoxicating.

Oh yes, Mosques can be built in our Universities in the South but NO Churches is allowed to be built in Universities in the North. 😮God bless you fr. Kukah. Who is listening? Islamization is fully being implemented in Nigeria 😮

Always looking round all Nigerian TV station to listen to My Lord Bishop! More Grace on ur always wanting the best Nigeria we always dream off

Bishop KuKah is speaking grammar. The fact is that "A nation without conscience is a curse to its people". The thing about Nigeria politicians and leaders is that they have no soul, no conscience, their wickedness has no boundary. It has become clear that Nigeria is in a complete and altered mess. There is no amount of bridge you'll build that will ever redeem Nigeria. Nigeria is rigged in darkness and you expect to survive in that strange environment. The country has gone beyond redemption. A referendum or total disintegration is the only solution to the problem in Nigeria.

The problem of Nigeria are the politicians.

Bishop Matin Kukah. I duff my hat sir.

Bishop your work has been on humanity, you can rule Nigeria

An excellent conversation. Bravo.

Ayo is a gem of an inquisitive and issues opening questions..Arise tv is great

Let's continue deceiving ourselves when it is obvious that nigeria is not one and can NEVER be one.

Very nice suggestion Sir… They must invite Prof. Chidi Odinkalu to speak on the Judiciary Reform

We were first colonized by the British and got our first political independence in October 1, 1960 and then we were recolonized by the Army and got back our political independence in May, 1999

Respect to Bishop Kukah. I love you Sir. Thank you for everything you are doing for our dear Nigeria. God bless you Sir.

You are indeed a BISHOP.Remaim blessed.

It will only take some time Nigeria will heal again ,nice conversation .

"... I have to find a reason to let people know that tomorrow will be better.."🤔

The Bishop made a laughable recommendation about producing the Nigerian constitution in local languages for Nigerians so that Nigerians could know their rights and defend those rights to maintain their dignity. How can a people that are incapable of thinking and reasoning be able to understand anything even if you split up their brains and dumped the constitution there? Do you need any understanding of the constitution to know that you must not vote for a thief or a fraudster or other morally corrupt politicians? And if and when any such politicians stole your votes and rigged themselves into office, do you need any constitution to tell you that you must rise up to defend your votes and take to the streets to bring down such a government as it is done by serious and responsible citizens in other countries?

@23:01. As much as I am a great fan of Rufai, for the 1st time, I think he should have cut Kukah some slack. Yes, government is a continuum and no matter how we're tethered to our opposing views, we need to soak in reality in our assessment. It will take a while no matter what approach we use to switch from a consumption-based to a production-oriented economy. Quite a number of the methods used now are trial and error while some are strategic. Whilst we challenge their errors, we also have a moral duty to project some optimism. It should not be gloom all the way.

God bless you Bishop!

I don’t like listening to this man anymore. He has been badly compromised!

Thank you, Bishop kukah, for letting us know that it was God that made Tinubu the President of Nigeria.😂😂😂

There is a limit to which negative journey can lead you to....

I hope Nigerians would understand bishop Kuka meant well. But, let bishop Kuka know you can not live with those that does not want to live with you. Fulanies and their Islam does not coexist. They dominate. My dear bishops Kuka, you can not fix what does not exist. There was never one Nigeria coexistence and there will never be one. Nigerians were fooled for many years. Nigerians are more informed now. This is 2024. Thanks to social media technology. JMO

I remembered a guy of an ethnic group asking me why I was always interacting with someone of another ethnic group during my NYSC.

We are over-religious in Nigeria.

Marking fake hope to dieing Nigerians that have no access to medication, no water to drink and no hope for it you still given them fake hope, is not a crime????

Over the years immemorial H.E Bishop Kuka have been looking for 'a reason to let people know that tomorrow will be better' Over the years the people have been defaced and continuously loosing their rights of existence in Nigeria without basic needs for life. Hope is inconsequential without positive action neither does it grow or prosper a Nation. Faith is the substance of things hope for Heb 11:1 Faith without work is dead James 2:26 How can we preach this hope to the hungry and dying poor in the streets, ID camps whose only crime is being a Nigerian. The irony of this whole discussion is that 'if we can't have a Messiah why then do we hope?' you can't be doing same thing and expect different result. Nigeria can't work base on religious and ideological differences which the Bishop has highlighted but still choose to downplay it. Enough of this jelly coating....

Lamentation is not always good for the soul, sometimes hope is beneficial

Bishop, don't pretend not to be aware of developed and developing nations strictly on their mother tongues. Show me a nation in Europe and Asia that is not using their mother tongues. It's easier to unravel the secrets of science and technology in mother tongues than in borrowed tongues. Regrettably, language was the first casualty on arrival by the invaders. Scotland today wants out and mentally enslaved half-baked, half cooked misfits would not address as tribalism. He is only quick to reserve such a label for nationalist within Nigeria. We would forever remain mere spectators in world affairs until we are ready to do the needful. Time to restructure or be broken into independent States.

When the religious leaders are afraid to speak , I pity the followers.

TALK TALK TALK WISHFUL-THINK WISH-FUL THINK WISH-FUL-THINK To thyself be true. If a marriage does not work, break it. Nigeria marriage has NEVER worked. IT WAS NEVER EVEN CONSUMMATED . If Nigeria was a baby, it would not see its third birthday. STOP PRETENDING AND FACE REALITY. God expects truth and honesty from us.

There wıll never be oneness, ıf we contınue to practıce nepotısm, trıbalısm. When Buharı choose ıs kıns ınto hıs cabınat, what people expect, what about Tınubu? Anyone callıng for dıversıty ın Nıgerıa, ıt must a joke. Nothıng wıll be done to Erdem’e Nıgerıa, relıgıousıty, ethnıcıty, trıbalısm has fınıshed Nıgerıa. We all base only on our own people and people tellıng Igbo beıng second class cıtızens and can’t rule Nıgerıa. It ıs better the Bıshop just keep everythıng to hımself, there ıs nothıng that would do to solve Nıgerıa problem.

It's well with our Nation

When is tomorrow Bishop.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The Gidion Orkar view. The perfect propaganda line. A rather simple and very clever analysis. But is that the way it is,in a nation where one's qualification for the leadership of a church(ECWA) is based on one's citizenship of southern Kaduna rather than one's ecclesiastical qualifications! Tribalism is an affliction of the unproductive and free loading Nigerian elites and clergymen. They abound everywhere.

Bishop your instance or example is needles to regards to improvement in that zoo. That's why all we complain remains noise

Since successive government failures to lead by good examples, all programs for inward national integration with profound future prospect has been window-dressing. The NYSC schemes: good initiative, poor execution, destroying dreams and aspiration of teeming youths pursuing paper qualifications and regrets.

I'm suprised Bishop Kukah said things are improving in Nigeria when the suffering of the people is getting worse, it seems he's been bought by the political class.

😢

This gets to me when Nigerians blame other ethnic groups forgetting their own. Someone mentioned Ahmadu Bello’s tribal jingoism. What also of Nnamdi Aziikiwe? The British used him to disunite Nigeria, apparently they had a hold on him. Azikiwe employed his Newspaper to the hilt to divide Nigeria especially the south. So can we get over these dead elders and change for the better?

Bishop Kikah, Admire his historical theory. But my concern is during the 2023, election he was not clear to his position for the election. My question to him do he believe that God choose Tinubu.

Keep listening since the 80s....all they do is talk, and the major problem is religion and failed value system that lead to corruption and under development.

Try and appreciate a fact here sir, Bishop Kukah is speaking from the Sokoto Catholic headquarters,located in the middle of Sokoto, less than five (5) minutes drive to the Sultan's palace(it's like having an Abuja kind of mosque, only bigger, in the heart of the Vatican, next door to the Pope). The sultan is the spiritual leader of Muslims in the country. Marry this fact to the Bishop's statement. His mischief will become obvious.

Thank you Bishop Kukah. Only negative news makes Rufai happier. When dollar was rampaging naira, he was jumping about claiming "I told you so" Predicting worst for the national currency.

Bishop Kukah. Admire his historical and theolgy. But faiil short to express his positiion for the 2023, election.so do Bishop Kukah beliver that God choes Tinubu.

If not we are divided in Nigeria ,many people would have beaten Rufai

FRAME 21:45 "...the director of the Kukah Center, Fr. Atabara, has a PhD in Boko Haram..." --Matthew Hassan Kukah Do the Boko Haram members use the Kukah Center? Will the Boko Haram members be attending the planned national cohesion conference?

Too much negativity will not get us anywhere. Bishop Kukah's admonition of Rufai Oseni. We are moving not stagnant as a nation.

Oseni Rufai just love Nigeria, he say it how it should be..me i support Peter Obi here in Edo State.but criticism is good, even Tinubu said he should be criticize if bad and if good be encourage.so far to me president Tinubu as won spplause in some decisions he has taken eg the FAAN and the CBN .as good that decision was,if Tinubu did bow to the empty shouts of some Nigeria, most of is ministers will be afraid to take good far reaching decisions that can help stop wastages and encourage utmost productivity

Nigeria's problem is essentially governance failure

It's with these rot that drug President was birthed for Nigeria even with fake certificates The institution of criminality is the highest office of Nigeria. A poor man takes up an office n becomes a very wealthy man over night and comes out to say real.estate 😅😂

Rufai and his hate for Tinubu. Thanks for the answer Bishop Kukah for shutting him with his nagativity. U forgot you are also corrupt. Your car passed through one way and was apprehended, you kept shouting at the police and threatening them that you would report them to the governor. Where is dignity too?

Please don't invite Akpabio oh

Jesus is Lord 🎉

I have said it,Rufai is a wicked genius

Oseni, you can see the way the Bishop answered you, please try to see good in your country, not bad bad bad only you see

I’ve got an idea: Abolish “states of origin.” If you are born in a state then you are from the state. You’ve got quota systems and different cut-off marks for different states. You’ve got zoning for the presidency and you don’t even follow it when it’s time for the southeast. Yet you want unity. Gimme a break. Not gonna happen.

Rufai is not popular..

One or two cases will aptly demonstrate Kukah’s hypocrisy and insincerity Rivers State University of Science and Technology is a Nigerian public university, yet the institution illustrates and symbolises the intolerance, bellicosity and colonial mentality of the Christian establishment in the Southern part of Nigeria. While the authorities of the university granted more than six different places of worship to six Christian sects or denominations on campus, they blatantly refused to grant one to Muslim students. since , 2012 till date. Kukah is a crusader fanatic stop inviting him .

@rufai, you seems to like crying over spilled milk

Foolish Rufai

Peace peace unity cohabitation always with no justice and equality 😅😂 Kuka in as much I like you but I’m sorry you are sounding like Gowon and co. You were equivocal during 2023 election in supporting Obi. Kuka stop giving excuses for Nigeria situation, You are just buying times for Nigeria….. Nigeria problems are Fulani, islam and some Yorubas.

Bishop, please continue to preach peace and hope. Rufai is a very negative human being. Rufai will never see anything good in President Tinubu's administration and the country because the candidate he supported during the 2023 presidential election lost and became a superb sore loser.
