Do you claim to love Nigeria more than Reverend Kukah? Do you even have 5% of this man's intergrity? Is Father Kukah not knowledgable? They are few Nigerians that have the intellectual capacity that this man possess in a multiplicity of feilds. To say this man is more knowledgable and versatile than I am is an understatement.

What of you? Do you claim to have undertanding and inergrity more tha Father Kukkah? Hear the advise he has for Jonathan.

Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Rt. Reverend
Matthew Hassan Kukah, and the National
Union of Textile Garments and Tailoring
Workers of Nigeria, NUTGTW, have
accused President Goodluck Jonathan of
allegedly blackmailing Nigerians with his claims that the country would collapse in
two years, if fuel subsidy was not
removed. Bishop Kukah asked the Federal
Government to address the issue of
insecurity in the country which according
to him is more serious than the proposed
removal of fuel subsidy just as the
NUTGTW said there was no difference between the current debate on fuel
subsidy removal and the same sex
marriage debate which Nigerians were
unanimous in rejecting. Kukah spoke in a sermon at the 2011
Christmas carol jointly organized by the
Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria,
FRCN, Nigeria Television Authority, NTA,
and Voice of Nigeria, VON, at the
National Christian Centre in Abuja while the textile workers made their feelings
known in a statement in Kaduna Monday. According to Bishop Kukah, dividends of
democracy cannot only be measured by
the number of infrastructure a particular
administration is able to provide for its
citizens but by the level of fundamental
rights of the citizens. His words,”Democracy is not about
infrastructure. If democracy is measured
by infrastructure then South Africa should
have continued under apartheid because
most of the infrastructure in South Africa
were put in place during the apartheid regime in that country. ‘’So also in Germany, If democracy was
about infrastructure, the Germans should
apologise to Hitler because Adolph Hitler
developed Germany. ‘’The citizens must be allowed to have a
say in the social, economic development
of their nation. The issue of fuel subsidy
is minute compared to the level of
insecurity that the nation is going
through now. Lots of innocent lives have been lost; there is need for this present
administration to concentrate more on
how to tackle the issue of Boko Haram
and leave fuel subsidy for now”. However, the textile workers in a
statement signed by the General
Secretary Comrade Issa Aremu who is
also the Vice President of the Nigeria
Labour Congress, NLC, in commending
Jonathan on the way he has engaged Nigerians on the issue, said that if the
President had engaged his seemingly
abundant energy and “sweat capital” on
other economic issues, the country would
be a better place to live in. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/12/
