The Most Useless Nuer of 2025 – Number 2:
Number 2 : Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth
Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth earns the shameful position of number 2 not by accident, but by choice. Before Bol Mel even found the courage to say it openly, Lol Gatkuoth was already busy labelling Nuer armed youths as “terrorists.” He did not hesitate, he did not reflect, and he did not defend his people. Instead, he gave confidence and political cover to those who wanted to demonize the Nuer.
From that reckless moment, the damage multiplied. Nuer were categorized, dehumanized, bombed, mocked, and reduced to a joke, all because one man was desperate to sound loyal to power rather than truthful to his community. Lol Gatkuoth did not just speak carelessly — he backstabbed his own people to gain favor, and in doing so, he normalized a dangerous narrative that others were too afraid to push alone.
The tragedy is deeper: he betrayed his people and still gained nothing. No position. No honor. No legacy worth defending. Just words that fueled suffering and silence that followed.
We could write pages about how Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth failed the Nuer, and it still would not be enough. History will remember him — not as a leader, not as a thinker, but as one of the most useless and irresponsible betrayers of his community.
For that, and for the wounds his words helped justify, Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth stands firmly at number 2 — a betrayal that time will not erase.
