Episode 17-Bishop Kukah of Nigeria Pays Tribute to Desmond Tutu and Calls on African Clerics to become 'Controversial' by Getting More Involved in Politics

Often considered as cut from the same cloth as the late icon, Desmond Tutu, Nigerian public intellectual, and political and social activist, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah of Sokoto,  discusses the legacy of Tutu. He calls on the Church in Africa and African church leaders to get their hands dirty and their lives messy like Tutu by having their boots on the rough grounds of today's complex and painful socio-economic and political conditions of Africa. In order to bring our crucified people down from the cross of suffering and pain, Kukah invites the church and her leaders in Africa to do exactly what Tutu: by becoming the voices and agents for the liberation of African peoples from the oppressive conditions imposed on them by their own African brothers and sisters, who are now in the helm of leadership in the state as well as in various religious groups and organizations in the continent of Africa.
