Excerpts of Bishop Matthew Kukah's interview on Channel TV's Political Paradigm....

Interviewer: Is it also palatable, so to speak, to hold on to the argument of those who say that there should have been an African Pope?

Bishop Kukah: Well, let’s win the World Cup first. I think we still have a long way to go, I did write an article in the course of all of this and I remarking something that happened when Pope John Paul II died and the speculators thought that Cardinal Arinze came very close. But as you know, electing a pope is not like that, it’s not an ‘Emilokan’ scenario in which you say, ‘These people have had their turn, now it’s our turn.’ No, it doesn’t work like that. And then the pundits who think that this is like betting on a horse or whatever. You always notice that by and large when people begin to make their speculations, they are using human parameters of their calculation, and very often, most of those who make these calculations simply accumulate their data and suggest this is where it’s going to go. But always, people are shocked in part because the election of a Pope is not like any other election anywhere in the world.

Bishop Kukah should show us the election sheet.

We saw how President Donald Trump dressed himself in the Pope attire and the next day the American man was appointed as the new Pope.
No one dare challenge the USA of their selection.

That's very careless and irresponsible statement, if he said so.

All rulers are ordained by God..just because he's not your choice, doesn't mean he's not God's choice

Obi cannot get 25% of the total votes in Yorubaland again. Let him go to the whole crusades, iso oru or even igbele, Yoruba votes are going to a Yoruba man.

Even the Catholic church selection of pope is shrouded in mystery as no one watches or see the cardinals vote counted. So it not completely a foolproof transparent process

Even though the church cannot be separated from politics and politics from the church.

As much as possible the sanctity of the church should be maintained.
