BISHOP KUKAH DANCES 'BUGA’ AT 70TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Fr. Mathew Kukah, the Bishop of Sokoto diocese, was caught dancing to Kizz Daniel's hit song "Buga," which has made a lot of people talk. The cleric, who turned 70 on Wednesday, couldn't hide his happiness as he danced with his friends and family at an event in his honor. Statesmen, including former President Goodluck Jonathan, praised Bishop Matthew Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, on Wednesday in Abuja. They said he was a man of peace who worked to make Nigeria a better place. At a dinner held to mark Kukah's 70th birthday, the leaders spoke.

Good luck Jonathan said that Kukah was a priest who wanted peace and unity in Nigeria and would do anything to ensure it happened.

He said that Kukah "bashed" leaders when he thought they were not doing the right thing, no matter how close they were to him. Jonathan doesn't think it's strange that the conversation will be about what the organizers are calling "Nigeria's unfinished greatness: Next steps."

He said: "Nigeria is indeed a work-in-progress.

"Until that work is done, people like Bishop Kukah, whom God has put in charge of the nation's conscience, will still be around to hold a mirror up to our national face and show us how far we've come. "Since I left the government a few years ago, I have been working to promote democracy, fair elections, and peaceful transitions across Africa.

"This is what the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation is all about," he said.

The former president said that through his travels and conversations, he had seen that people and places in many parts of Africa had similar experiences and struggled to get ahead.

He said that Nigeria might not be where everyone wants it to be, but no one should give up or lose hope by only looking at the bad things. "If you look at where we've been since we got our independence in 1960, you can see that we've been making progress, even if it's been slow. "Our greatness is still in the making because we haven't been able to make the most of the amazing people and natural resources that God has given us."

"It's a job we'll keep working on and getting better at," he said. Jonathan noticed that more and more people, especially young people, were losing faith in the politics and democracy of the country. "However, we must stay on the democratic path because it is the only practical way to deal with our differences, grow in a sustainable way, and make progress as a country.

"Our job is to keep our guard up so that the democracy we love today doesn't fall to threats and turn into fascism tomorrow.
