EFCC Freezes Osun Govt Account: The EFCC Has the Right to Freeze Accounts of State Governments Without Court Orders - Tietie
Under the Money Laundering Act, the EFCC has the power, without an order of court, to freeze any account it suspects of being involved in crimes such as money laundering. In the case of Osun State, it’s not tenable.

Is the Catholic Church criticizing President Tinubu because it's backing Peter Obi?
That allegation has gained traction following last week's meeting between President Bola Tinubu and the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria (CBCN).
@jimidisu put the question directly to Professor Pat Utomi.
Watch his response. Do you agree?

The Bishops reminded Tinubu of Nigerians' Concerns and his response suggests he's either caged, misinformed or terribly misled by others

Nigeria Cannot Afford the Lagos-Calabar Highway; I Don’t Think the Road Will Go Beyond Epe – Duke
There is already a road from Lagos to Calabar; if the road is poor, fix it. There are some expenditures we make that do not reflect the realities of our circumstances. The amount spent on that road could be better spent providing electricity or upgrading the healthcare system.

Many Nigerian Youth Can’t Even Think of Marriage Because They Are Jobless — Cardinal Onaiyekan
Cardinal John Onaiyekan has expressed concern over Nigeria’s worsening unemployment crisis, saying many young graduates can no longer think about marriage or building a future because they cannot find jobs.
Speaking during an interview on Frontline, a current affairs programme on Eagle 102.5 FM, Ilese-Ijebu, Ogun State, the Archbishop Emeritus of Abuja reflected on Nigeria’s economic situation following the recent meeting between the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria and President Bola Tinubu.
Onaiyekan said the true measure of any government’s success should be the well-being of its citizens rather than economic indicators such as GDP or reports from international institutions.
He said: “If we admit that the role of government is the welfare of citizens, then it means we are not going to judge the success of our government on the basis of the statistics from GDP, from the World Bank, or whatever. The important thing is, what, how is the life of the Nigerian?”
Describing youth unemployment as one of Nigeria’s biggest challenges, the cleric noted that many university graduates remain jobless despite years of education.
He said: “The terrible thing now is many of our young people that have struggled to finish university are all going around with their degrees. They are unable to get a job. Therefore, they can’t even think of marriage. They can’t think of starting a family. They can’t think of planning their life. That is terrible,” the Cardinal lamented.
He warned that growing frustration among unemployed youths could have serious consequences if not urgently addressed, urging the government to show the political will to govern with honesty, fairness and justice.
He said: “The only thing it takes is a political will to do the right thing, to be honest in how government is run, to be just to everybody, to be fair in this.”
