Witness to Reconciliation is a sequel to Witness to Justice. Both are part of a trilogy rendering insider accounts of Bishop Kukah's personal experiences in trying to find a way through the thick forest of troubles that is Nigeria. The book also highlights the flow of stories in both books, which revolve around the theme of reconciliation in different initiatives and locations. The experiences shared involve individuals and communities seeking redress for perceived mistreatment by the Nigerian state, with a particular focus on the Ogoni people’s grievances against the Shell Petroleum Development Corporation. The chapter titled “State Crisis and Legitimacy: The Ogoni Crisis” delves into the comprehensive examination of this contestation.

Witness to Justice - An Insider's Account Of Nigeria's Truth Commission

The book, Broken Truths, is a collection of key Convocation lectures delivered in the last few years at several Universities in Nigeria. Here, Matthew Hassan Kukah, outspoken Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, reflects on the myriad of challenges bedeviling the Nigerian nation. The book covers such themes as Insurgency, Education, Leadership, Democracy, Diversity, Justice and National Cohesion etc, in the course of Nigeria's elusive quest for greatness. The book is vintage Kukah: gusto, courage and enthralling clarity.

Broken Truth (Soft Cover)

Religion, Politics, and Power in Northern Nigeria is an analytic narrative on a subject that is at one breath volatile but alluring, and at another, demanding but rewarding. It is a fantastic exposition on how the northern oligarchy acquired, and has held on to power, using religion as its main weapon.

Very insightful and wide-ranging in its analysis, this extra-ordinary book associates its data with a variety of themes. Scholarly yet highly readable, substantive yet highly readable, substantive yet never prolix, it achieves a sophisticated analysis of the role of religion in Nigeria. The masterly account of the northern factor is unlikely to be superseded.

Contained in this volume you will have in your hands the post-episcopal ordination homilies of Most Rev. Matthew Hassan Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, known simply and fondly called by his readers, audience, admirers, well-wishers, and friends as Fr. Kukah. Like his THE MUSTARD SEED, At the Name of Jesus is also a collection of his homilies preached at different liturgical events in the course of his episcopal ministry. But unlike THE MUSTARD SEED which is a collection of newspaper homilies and exhortations he contributed as a columnist earlier in his priestly ministry, At The Name of Jesus is a collection of occasional homilies preached to live congregations at milestones and historic events like jubilees, ordinations, Chrism Masses and funerals. True to his style and unique way of writing, the homilies in this collection are not the type that delight, perhaps even produces streams of quick tears that disappears quickly. In short, they are not platitudes, rather, the homilies contained herein are the types that challenge and lead to soul searching. They are homilies that resonate with the human condition, the reality, if you like, on the ground. They are the type that console and give hope to the afflicted while at the same time afflicting and discomforting the comfortable.
