Nigeria needs to reload- To ask ourselves what is happening, what we are doing, and what we can do differently – Bishop Kukah
Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Rev. Matthew Hassan Kukah, has decried the absence of shared myths, monuments, and founding ideals that bind Nigeria together.
This was as he said that Nigeria must reload itself to rediscover its moral direction and rebuild its national identity.
The Bishop stated this on Friday at a book launch to commemorate the 60th birthday of ex-presidential aide and ARISE News anchor, Dr Reuben Abati.
The cleric lamented that the country has become a nation of disrupted dreams, where the moral and intellectual standards that once defined public life have disappeared with time.
“We need to reload—to ask ourselves what is happening, what we are doing, and what we can do differently.
“Until we establish a moral foundation and a unifying national myth, Nigeria will continue to move without direction,” he said.
The Bishop called on Nigeria to rethink its values, institutions, and moral compass.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
