Barely few days after the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Hassan Kukah gave a Christmas message that caused uproar in government circles, he again released fresh fire, describing the country as a huge wasteland, huge debris of deceit, lies, treachery, double-dealing and duplicity.
Kukah who was undeterred of the backlash of criticisms over his Christmas message, warned that darkness was setting in as the sun quickly recedes, so there should be a sense of urgency.
In his sermon titled: “A Nation in Search of its Soul,”, delivered at the wake keep Mass for His Grace, Archbishop Peter Jatau at St. Joseph’s Catholic Cathedral, Kaduna, he lamented the gradual descent into chaos.
Kukah said: “Today, our dear nation is like the proverbial farmer searching for his black goat. He has to do it with a sense of urgency because darkness is setting in as the sun quickly recedes.
“Our nation has become one huge wasteland, huge debris of the deceit, lies, treachery, double-dealing and duplicity.
“Nigerian politics has become a huge Trojan horse, a hoax, a hall of guile and dissimulation.”
He also noted that the levels of frustration in the country were rising by the day, adding “We can see all this in the rise in domestic violence and inter-communal conflicts.
“A combination of all these has turned us into a nation at war with itself,” Kukah noted.
