Rev. Kukah – To Caesar What is Wants, To God What He Owns

Rev. Kukah – To Caesar What is Wants, To God What He Owns

By I.M. Al-amin

AREWA AGENDA – Nigerians, Muslims and Christians like every other Persons on this Planet (Earth) do, will very much Remember “2020”as a Highly Special Year for the Numerous Items which it “Gives and Takes”.

The Year recorded so Much in the Annals of the Nation’s Sovereignty; Yes it really does.

ASUU’s Indefinite Strike Action has Paralysed Our Educational System for almost 10 Months of Showdown. Intensification of Arm Bandits Activities, Kidnappings throughout North-West, North-Central; The deposition of the Outspoken Emir of Kano, Mall. Muhammad Sanūsi II, Demise of the Shehu of Dikwa, the Fallout of Abba Kyari, (The indivisible Chief of Staff), Death of Ismā’il Funtua, a Top Aristocrat, Technocrat amongst those Considered to be the Cabal that Controlled Buhāri/Osinbajo Administration, the Dislocation of the Economy as a Result of uncalled Global Recession caused by Uncountable Standstill of World’s Projected Economic Collapse. The Endsars Semi-Revolutionary Protest which nearly Crippled the Country. The Mayhem and Barbaric Carnage launched by the Bõko Harām Vagabond on Zabarmāri, beheading Tens of Poor Rice Peasants; Fears across Africa and beyond over the Covid19 Vaccine containing Microchips as Championed by Bill Gates’s Project as Mapped out by WHO Through Political Lobbyists with Dr. Fauci at the Centre of the Scandal.

Without Much ado to what the Year 2020 had in its Plans, Programs, Projects and Policies Upon The Universe it has Started with Series of Several Serious Challenges and Calamities and is Ending up with Sets of So Many other unsolved Issues and Events.

The Misgivings of Political Office Holders have Thrown the the Country into so many Controversies. The Controversy of Not Fulfilling Covenant and Promises as Many have been Sworn into Office with.

The Republicans in the United States lost it to the Democrats, Trump Lives the White House in Disguised Disgrace and Dejection, a Phenomena which for more than Two Decades has Never Recourse, for an Incumbent President to be Booted Out of Power without Winning a Second Term in Office.

Like the Rest of the World, Nigeria is Badly Devastated by the So-called Coronavirus Pandemic (the Covid19) whose Political Exigencies and Consequential Effects and Damages had been Most Detrimental than the True Medical Hysteria it ought to have Created.

At Most, the Covid19 Emotionally have Killed More People than it does Physically and Practically, for the “Hot Potato” it caused Upon Government Gazetted Policymaking. It has disgraced Public Servants and their Official Functions, it betrayed even the Hardly Suspicious Stakeholders whose Status has been Vindicated by the Billions of Naira worth of “Palliative” which Quite a Number of State Governments have deliberately Failed to Dispense and Dispose, and if not for the “Endsars Uprisings”, Buhāri’s Sadiya, the Hon. Minister in-Charge of the Food Aids Meant for the Ordinary Citizen could have lost her Name, but “Thank God” the Protest seemed to have Saved and Serviced her out. If the Endsars Protestors have had a Sustainably Substantive Leadership, definitely Hajjiya Sadiya could have Secretly honoured them for the “Relief Package” they have given her instead of her own Dispensation of Same Relief Materials (the Palliative to the Poor and Needy Nigerians). Alas Sadiya got it Well, she has Settled the Bills of her Office, she is Married and She is Still the Minister despite all the Fingers Pointed at her.

Yes, Rev. Mathew Kūkah has been a Vocal Critic Standing on the Holy Altar of Christ to Tell the Truth, The Gospel Truth without Prejudice; But this Time around the Man is Putting his best at this Trying Period, and at the very Wrong Time and Place deciding to Voice Out a “Seriously Senseless Sentences” Upon the Highest Hierarchy of Governance in this Great Country, Nigeria (Our Fatherland).

I don’t know what went wrong with the Representative of the Heavens who seemed to be Carried Away by Lucifer’s Call to Dissipate Good and Dispense Evil. Yes it is Evil for a Clergyman in the Status of “Father Kūkah” to Call on some Rascal Military Junta to Overthrow a “Legitimate Democracy”, a Functional Governmental System Voted into Office by Democratic Process. Unfortunately The Spiritual Diocese has Missed it this Time Around. I’m Sure he was Carried away by Temptation, maybe not from the Frowns of Money, Power or Fame but because he was “Tested” by The Almighty God to See how Enduring, Overcoming, Stoic and Forgiving he was when he Sees People Committing Sins, would they have his Prayers as a Man of God in Receiving a “Penitence Reception” from the Kingdom of God, will they be “Rebaptized” and become Born-Agains in the Sight of Kūkah’s Holy Ghost. And isn’t President Muhammadu Buhāri worthy of being Forgiven by God despite the fact that he wasn’t Responsible, “Alone” for the Whole Follies that is Nailed to his Administration; For indeed, “Ba’a Mūgun Sarki, Sai Mūgun Ba-Fāde”?

As Men of God, both the Imāms and Fathers were supposed to be the Foremost in directing People towards Restraint and Patience during Testing and Trying Times like the Present One we are all Passing through, but when they (the Religious Fathers) Should Call for a Dreadful “Showdown” as in a Coup D’etat, a Violent and Bloody Change of Government, in which the Possibly of Assassination of the President wouldn’t be Ruled out, it will Really be Unfortunate that Such a Heavy Wording will Come on the Eve of Humanity’s Salvation on the Spiritually Special Birthday Anniversary of “Jesus of Nazareth”, a Period in Time when Divine Intervention, Holy Compassion and Godly Mercy is expected to Descend Upon Humanity and not for anyone to be Promising a Doomsday instead of being an Advocate of Glad-Tidings.

After all Buhāri is Just the Translated Version of Every Single Nigerian in all of his Failures, for according to Divine Providence as Contained in all Scriptures,

“Men (People) are Governed as they are in their Modes and Manners ….”

If Nigerians were Truly Good and God-Fearing, definitely President Muhammadu Buhāri would have been Far More Ahead of each an Everyone of Us in that Pious Quality and Character, Whether We Like it or Not; And if he is Worse and Bad, he is nothing but a _”Clearly Clean Mirror”_ Reflecting Us as we all are.

I’m Really afraid if Where Rev. Kūkah’s Stands in his Latest Statement represents the Coterie of Parishes of Pastors and Priests in his Diocese, for if he does, definitely that Negates his Many, Many Years Principles which he Seems to have Compromised with, the ideals of,

_”Give to Caesar what is for Caesar, and to God what is for God ….”_

Thankfully the Northern Christians Forum have Condemned the Diocese of his Follies and like Our own Bosom Brother, Dr. Ahmad Gummi who until a Week ago was Badly Critical of President Buhāri following suit in Such Pseudo-Condemnation where he doesn’t seemed to Buy for the Idea of a Military Coup D’etat against Buhāri as Rev. Kūkah voiced and Called for.

May The Almighty God (Allah) Salvage Us All on this Feeble Ark we are Voyaging on, Matching Marsh of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as He in His Compassion have Saved Noah from the Deluge that Submerged the Whole Universe.

By the Grace of The Almighty God (Allah) here is “2021” Carrying with it All Blessings Upon The Entire Humanity.
