Priesthood, in every mundane and spiritual ramification, is a special calling deserving of respect. Unlike the evangelical new-generation Pastors and ‘Bishops’ and ‘Prophets’ laying claim to doubtful holiness yet harbouring secret dirty past or antecedents, the average Reverend Father of the Catholic fold is an embodiment of ennobling qualities and sound education. Forget about the challenges of celibacy and sex scandals surrounding some of these ordained souls.
Bishop Kukah had sworn to serve Jesus the Christ for the rest of his life. And in doing so he had consciously shunned fatherhood, mundane bliss and other social luxuries associated with mankind. That is enough indication of dedication to life of chastity and service to humanity.

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto has the right to express an opinion, argues Sonnie Ekwowusi
I had thought the media trial of Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Matthew Hassan Kukah over his 2020 Christmas Message had ended. But I was mistaken. The trial, for all you know, has just reached its crescendo. Last Wednesday the Buhari Presidency joined the hordes of accusers preferring charges against Bishop Kukah. Prompted by the increasing bloodletting and insecurity of lives and property and the general hopelessness in Nigeria, Bishop Kukah had in his 2020 Christmas Message regretted that the Buhari government was not living up to public expectation and therefore needed to re-invent itself in order to tackle the bloodletting ad existential challenges confronting the nation instead of foisting a Northern hegemony that is counterproductive and damaging to national interest.
7-day ultimatum to Fulani herders: Presidency, Akeredolu at war
On
…My ultimatum stands Ondo gov
By Dayo Johnson, Dapo Akinrefon & Johnbosco Agbakwuru
THE Presidency and Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, yesterday, headed for a showdown over the ultimatum given by the latter to Fulani herders to vacate the forest reserves in the state.
While the Presidency said the governor had no constitutional powers to ask anybody to leave the state or any part of the state, the governor insisted, yesterday, that his seven days ultimatum stays.
In a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity in Abuja, the Presidency maintained that asking the herders to leave could set off a chain of events, which the constitution anticipated and tried to guard against.
