Japa: I Feel For Many Nigerians Who Cannot Travel Abroad – Kukah
The Bishop of Sokoto Diocese of the Catholic Church, Bishop Matthew Kukah, has expressed concern for many Nigerians who cannot travel out of the country.
Kukah said this while delivering a keynote address at the 3rd annual national public lecture themed, “The Nigerian Question: Survival of the Federation in the Throes of Increasing Economic Challenges in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on Friday.
He said, “Nigerians talk about other countries; I feel sorry for many Nigerians who, because of many troubles, hardly travel out of their immediate environments, not to talk about travelling to other parts of Africa or other parts of the world.
Though every country has its problems, the challenge before us in Nigeria is that what do we want, obviously, can we democratize and develop our nation?
Meanwhile, Kukah said the people responsible for Nigeria’s problems are not safe, just like the masses.
The good thing about Nigeria is that everybody knows what the problems are, and the people who are responsible for the problems are not safe; they too do not know peace.
The cleric, however, stated that every country in the world also has its problems, noting that it takes citizens and purposeful leaders to address such problems.
