Incessant Herdsmen Attack: Bishop Kukah Blames Buhari, Says President Not Ready Governance

Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Most Reverend Mathew Hassan Kukah, lambasted the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari for the continued herdsmen attacks.

Bishop Kukah blamed the incessant attacks allegedly carried out by Fulani herdsmen on the Buhari-led government’s unpreparedness to tackle the many challenges bedevilling the nation.

Kukah spoke to newsmen in Sokoto during the inauguration and dedication of the new secretariat of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Sokoto State chapter.

According to him, it was uncharitable on the part of government to blame citizens or any particular group for the incessant attacks instead of looking for a way to tackle the challenge.

The clergy said, the primary responsibility of governance was to provide security for its citizens, noting that it was sad that people will come to power unprepared.

He said, “I hear people blaming Nigerians, and blaming Fulani herdsmen and blaming. It is really the failure of government to address the very many problems that this country faces.

“It is a bit of a pity, because it also means that sometimes people come into power not fully prepared, I thought if this government had taken inventory of the nature of the problems that this country face, we will not be where we are today.”

He observed that the responsibility of government was to fix problem not to create one and that such primary responsibility ought to be carried out by those in government and not to be shifted to citizens or past governments leaders.

The Catholic Bishop pledged the resolve of the church to continue to pray for God’s intervention, but was quick to call on the nation’s leaders to recognise the urgency it required to fix the challenges and make the country going.

Kukah also expressed concern over the polarized nature of the country, saying it had reduced the nation to a subject of ridicule among the comity of nations.

7 Greatest Sportsmen Of All Time

There are often arguments and counterarguments on who the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time are. Some sports historians, analysts, and supporters pick their own choices not necessarily on facts but emotions. In picking the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time, I briefly checked their achievements not just in their specific fields but also their impact outside the world of sports. 1. Boxing legend, Muhammad Ali has been crowned the best sports athlete of all time in a star-studded list. The 'Greatest' is widely considered the best boxer in history and arguably the most iconic sports star of the 20th century.

Ramadan, which is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar is the only month in which Muslims, the world over fast from dawn till sunset for 29 or 30 days. Allaah commands Muslims to fast as stated in some parts of Suuratul Baqara (chapter 2) of The Glorious Qur'an. The Glorious Qur'an is the first and most important book to all Muslims. For all the Islamic months, starting from Muharram (first month) to Dhul Hajj (12th month), the numbers of days in each of these 12 months are often 29 days and once in a while 30 days.
