Nigerian clergyman, Matthew Kukah, has stated that the current problems plaguing Nigeria, have no solutions.
Kukah, who is the Bishop of Sokoto said that Nigeria may have coping mechanisms, to reduce the trauma, but no actual solutions.
He said this while being asked on the role of restructuring in healing the nation
“Anybody pretending that restructuring is the solution to our problems… it isn’t, because there are no solutions.” Kukah said
“They are coping mechanisms that you can design.

“People focus on power, but the irony now, if we don’t know, is that somebody has written a fine book, we are seeing the end of power in the way and manner that we understand it.
“Here in Nigeria, people think of power and they think about it in the relation to the ability to give a big cheque, the ability to sign a contract, ability to people in NNPC, ability to give oil wells.
“This is absolute nonsense because it doesn’t carry with it the moral authority. The most important thing, of course, is that… ok, look at the day Mark Zuckerberg went to Congress, it affected the stock market.
“Now, the mystery, the mistake of power no longer exists; if you talk about restructuring, again, we are captives of vocabulary, and by the time you translate it, then it becomes a problem.”
