Bishop kukah, well done, your prayer has been answered by our God Almighty, the world and Nigeria will be better. Remain blessed
What Now?
What a philosophical question to reflect upon on the first day of the year 2021. What a soul searching question individual and groups need to reflect upon. This will require an evaluation of the past, analysis of problems and proffering how to navigate the future more positively.
Well done your Excellency.
And who said Nigeria doesn't have Joshuas to take them to the promise land? They are living in plain sight, like this bishop. You just have to open your eyes and ears. Great and very inspiring speech. I am Ghanaian listening in from afar. Thank you so much wise and great Bishop. We have heard you loud and clear.. We will work with it. Insha Allah.
Such an eloquent speech. In Nigeria we're governed through fear and terror.
Congratulations Bishop. How I wish you are going to be the next President. Well educated Persons like you should be made to Lead a nation not illiterate will think they will carry money to the grave ,,etc
He cannot serve two masters at once i.e any day he joined politics he must resign as a Catholic priest and Bishop never to return to priesthood.
The Bishop Kuka I Know will never leave the Catholic Priesthood.

This man is a genius. Bishop I love you.
Beautiful. Bishop Kukah is wonderful
Pls sir we need your foundation where we can tap from your enamours wisdom from above in these your days of life.
Well delivered. He tread the issues carefully not to lay blame on any one. But if you listen and ponder over the points he raised you will know he was sending a message. A message that only the youth can fix the country that is currently broken and in dire need of leadership
Corruption can be tackled through Innovation...Nice piece Bishop!
thanks for giving the entire society a gift; everyone should have a vision of what one's want for self then for one's family,for society etc.
Thank you his holiness,ever remain bless!
Your grace actually
His Holiness is the Pope
God bless you more dear Bishop. You are shielded and preserved, to his glory in Jesus's name.
Bishop Kukah never disappoints in delivering.
Nigerian Youths needs to understand that, they need to read, understand history before setting up for future arguments.. Not just Music, party and flashy lifestyle.
Do not blame all of them because, through the style of the Fulani leadership, that is the only job opportunity available to them. No job opportunities available to the youths, no structured Agricultural Projects, no Government established Industries or Factories for manufacturing processes, no structured Road Constructions, no steadyr electricity, no steady good Water Supply, no Architectural Works, no structured Transportation projects, no Education Funding, or Government Scholarship grants to help the youths acquire the level of education they deserve. Even those who are determined to get education on their own to be of greater value to their lives and to the Society will become a target for elimination by the ruling Government who detests Western Education but wants to monopolize Leadership. So what then could the deprived Nigerian youths do after getting the little education they could afford than taking to Music Industry, singing, dancing, becoming a pastor or a preacher, comedies, etc? The Nigerian corrupt Government lies on the fact that the British Colonialists captured three major nations--Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba and renamed them "Nigeria" and handed this name over to foreign groups who hate education to the core. The worst is that these groups in leadership discourage education but they want to lead perpetually. They see leadership as ownership and prefer killing everyone to leaving the Governing Office. The educated and intelligent ones in under that name "nigeria" have no "say" because they will be killed. They dwell in deceptive leadership and anyone who comes up to say the truth will be hunt for imprisonment or be killed. So what would the youths of such a Country do than joining any social activity they could reach? This is why the three combined nations are now agitating to leave the name Nigeria and go back as they were before the British Colonialists amalgamated them. They mean to go and live their lives according to their Culture, Tradition and Beliefs. This disintegration is the only solution to help the youths of Nigeria. The world powers must intervene to help them achieve this to save lives. So you should rather help them to be out of the bondage they found themselves and not blaming them in this their very difficult undeserved situation.
You are a wonderful person in the indeed may your days be long in Jesus name amen

Perfect! Thank you!
Wonderful speech, plus a beautiful conclusion. 👏👏
A Wounderful speech fr Kuka God bless you sir
Listening to you from Texas. Proud of you sir. Keep making a difference.
I gave Bishop the beneath of doubt & listened. I was impressed! Especially about the importance of Africans/blacks studying History.
I do wish Africans stop using the term “3rd world” ( a demeaning term) to describe the continent of Africa, which in fact The cradle of Civilisation & proven as the wealthiest continent.
Remain bless my bishop
My lord bishop your words are light to Nigerians needed
Thanks my Bishop.
always boldly on point,my Lord!
Well done Bishop from South Africa
Legendary Bishop from Nigeria.👌
South Africa? Not at all but Nigeria.
I could remember on my confirmation day this bishop asked me a question,a question that took me more than 10 seconds to figure out 😂😂😁 remain bless sir
What question did he ask you?
Pls share
Thanks immensely my Lord Bishop. May God keep and sustain you to His glory. You will live to see a transformed Nigeria.
Is obvious that we are unfortunate when it comes to those who claim they are serving us as leaders. Could it be that there's no will to confront the decayed situation of our beloved country or they don't know because who's not interested will always claim ignorance of even the colour of his clothes.
Finally dearest brothers and sisters, let us be firm and know that there shall come when all these will be over. And I pray that those who collaborated with the external forces working to ensure that the treasures of Nigeria will be history will live to see it.
Long live My Lord Bishop Kukah!
Long live fellow Nigerians!!
Long live Nigeria!!!
This is fantastic.. Great speach
At least.....we are not all terrible, this is coming from a Nigerian... I bet you, having listen to this speech...... I know there is hope!!!!
I never actually knew TEDx had reached Nigeria 🇳🇬♥️
Yyn
Been around now for five years plus and has been held in several locations
Well said Father....
History has a way of repeating itself,
Nigeria has no true history...
Somany perspectives that are mostly not true...
Allowing men with divisive elements to govern Nigeria will never help. Not men with tribalistic and bigotry characteristics but men of sound and balance mindset who will inspire millions of Nigerians across all tribe, religion and regions with sincerity of actions and not lies and mere rhetorics. However, like you said, it is the our collective duty to discover and allow such leadership figure to reign over us.
Deep and thought provoking!!!
20:10 The frontiers of the future are conquerable. They're the subject of imagination.
Inspiring my Bishops!
This is amazing .A brilliant Bishop.God bless you.Wisdom personified.
God bless you sir
AMAZING speech👍👍 (and that was TWO YEARS AGO)! NOTHING has changed since then ,on the contrary! Indeed, one doesn't need to be an Imam,pastor or vision seer or look into a crystal ball to see what I mean...QUO VADIS Nigeria???😭😭🥺😢😭
That man is a living encyclopedia
You are very right, that is why i am angry with our country, it will never i mean never give such people the opportunity to pilot our affairs, rather , criminals, from top to bottom.
Now that we found love was originally sang by the soul group The O’Jays in the early 70’s and later covered by the Jamaican reggae group The Third World in 1983. Great speech.
What now? Self determination and demand to control our natural resources. Autonomous tribes in Nigeria have been marginalised over the decade. It is time we govern ourselves and enjoy our God given natural resources and human resources.
Bishop Kuka you are blessed
Well said sir. Asking Nigeria to come back to the round table of discussions. Question is Do Nigerians Believe In DIALOGUE?
Brilliant and eloquence at work. Proud of you my Lord
Your wisdom is wander fuel
Bishop Tutu was very relevant. Yes you csn. Stay on it your Lordship. News men keep his message loud.
Nice one by the Bishop
How do we convince or have this Bishop or people like him to become a Nigeria President? This man like others like him are not few in Nigeria. Unfortunately, we will not have him because of tribalism. Corruption as he mentioned and as we know has been compounded by tribalism. I joined others and released a book titled "Beyond the Execution - Understanding the Ethnic and Military Politics in Nigeria". If Nigeria must survive, she has to be re-invented.
Northerners will not vote for him. They would rather have Yusuf.
My lord remain blessed spiritual father
Well said 👏 👏
Deeply insightful. Good old Kukah, ever irreplaceable!
Sir, history is really important, but the federal Government has tried to obliterate the history of Nigeria from the accademics record. But they do not know that it cannot be oblitrated from the mind. A country without a history is at verge of repeating past failures.
A brain tested and trusted.
Amen. God bless you too sir. The story of the student /father got me cracking up😆😆😆😆
Inspirational!
intelligent man
My Lord you speak eloquent God blessed you

Na to come back with vendetta against the 5 fercent wey no vote for am, divide Nigeria, create hate everywhere and totally reverse the economy.
Spot on 👌👌👌👌
Wow wonderful
Nice
Inspiring
I got stock
Education is important.
"What now?" Got me thinking more! Inspiring!
the problem African 've is issue following them not the world.the world is listening to tedx, talk about the challenge facing the world
This bishop speaks my mind. I'm yet to see a leader with a vision. Balewa didn't have one nor Shagari. The resources were squandered and it has become a failed state.
WHAT NOW??? hmmm got me thinking.
I really don't think nigeria as a nation can be salvaged by any human being born of a woman. We don't have love for each other. The only acceptable solution for Nigeria's problems is division via a referendum. Anything else is a waste of time.
Peralies pasint plz help the one lady
Well said my Lord🙏
Sir! No wonder you are being hated by the mediocrity sect & wokers of iniquity. Advocate of the masses! Pease continue your Master's work.
Elucidated Bishop
@John 14:6 King James Version
6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me...
How do I get to be part of the TEDx audience?
😆😆😆😆😆 "Stay close to your radio." !
Unfortunately Fulanis doesn't reason and will never reason positively like Mandela
It is even worse now!!!!
A domestic terrorist, he who pray for war will definitely see war, we always pray.
War has no winner.
@Sule Ibrahim, who is a domestic terrorist?
Those praying for in this country.
The Arewa bigot tribalist Religious extremist promoting disunity in Nigeria the small bishop not like Bishop Tutu respected
Poor understanding of the political subject from someone who wants making political discuss he lacks the knowledge to do.
You are only qualify to talk about Catholicism and nothing more.
Just a wasted efforts.
Sir please, i would like to know your reasons.
Fanatics type
You can't see and understand what he's saying because you're baptised with tribalism and fanatism.
The Bishop is saying all the truth and you're questioning is insight? Better reason well
