Nigerians Yet To forgive Themselves 51 Years After The Civil War, Bishop Kukah Claims

Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah

The of Sokoto Catholic diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah has said that Nigerians are yet to fully forgive themselves 51 years after the civil war.

“51 years after the war, we are still hearing the kind of agitations that ordinarily, with good governance,  honestly,  devotion,  dedication,  commitment, the right leadership, we should have left all these anxieties behind us; unfortunately they are still with us.

“We have met a lot of people who fought the war who are full of regrets. We have not been able to forgive ourselves as a people. The wounds of the civil war have not been able to heal.”

Bishop Kukah, who spoke today, January 14, at the second edition of Never Again Conference with the theme, ’51 Years After After the Civil War’  held virtually and organized by Nzuko Umunna, a pan-Igbo socio-cultural organization, noted that citizens of Nigeria and her leaders are not happy.

“We are failing in almost every area, in education, lack of infrastructure, debt traps, inability to create new opportunities for industrialization and this massive cloud of insecurity threatening the whole nation.
