"Her courtyard may be, that clip is still so shocking. If that is our best representation of the Nigerian woman. Then I strongly suggest we reintroduce the concept of adult education at the leadership level."

"UN can be sued in the jurisdiction where the act is committed, an action can be brought against them in Nigeria just like an action was brought against most foreign organisations like Mobil, Shell, Chevron and compensation paid to the Nigerian victims."

Tinubu's minister threatens to sue United Nations

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Kennedy-Ohanenye threatened to sue the UN over the allegations bordering on financial mismanagement.

The minister alleged that the United Nations has been receiving monies from donors on behalf of Nigerians and demanded that all the sister bodies of the UN should make available to the government all the accounts they have used to source for the monies.

She stressed that Nigerians deserved to see the accounts and know how the monies were being spent, or the UN should apologise to Nigerians if they can't make the accounts available.
