Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye, minister of women affairs, has threatened to sue the United Nations (UN) for allegedly mismanaging funds meant for Nigeria.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Monday, Kennedy-Ohaneye accused the UN of obtaining funds on behalf of the country without remitting them.

The minister said if the global body does not furnish her ministry with the necessary records on or before November 15, she would take legal action.

“I stand here as the minister of women affairs to demand from the UN, the account of all the monies they sourced from donors in Nigeria’s name. We want to see the account of what they did,” she said.

“If you don’t give us this account, at least let Nigerians see what is going on, then you [UN] apologise to them.

“From 16th of October to November 15, if we don’t get those reports for Nigerians to see, we are heading to court. [They have] from 16th October to November 8.

“They will get our pre-action letter that is to prepare that by 15th we are heading to court and I am promising Nigerians that by 15th you will hear the lawsuit number.”

The minister did not state the specific amount the UN allegedly took on behalf of Nigeria or what the funds were meant for.

Does the honourable Minister understand the implications of this outburst? Has she discussed with relevant Ministries/agencies on the issue?

This approach doesn't seem right.

Your country mismanaged the election funds provided by the EU, and UN to fund good electioneering and enhance democracy without accountability. To worsened matter, the nation shamelessly denied their damning verdict on the sham of election the criminal organisation called INEC conducted on the 25th Feb.

The Nigerian nation have been on an endless loan and borrowing spree from the Brentwood Institutions( IMF, World Bank) and Other world financial bodies without accountability on how these funds are being disbursed.

Today, you are accusing UN of criminality? Guess the minister and govt fully understand the full implications of this action? He that comes to equity must come with a clean hand.

The blow back of her outburst will be severe

Hmm! my country Nigeria na giant, no allow a son of nobody to dey knack our country for ground. Imagine UN dey use Naija to dey beg for money, Naija big pass una papa level, if to say Naija no get value, UN no go dey use our country dey go find money. So, if wailers dey throway our country knack for ground, na because dem get small brain, if una no dey value your country, the outside world appreciate am. Kudos to Madam Minister for the spirit of Jagaban inside you, pikin wey lion been born na lion e dey resemble. We shall collect every penny that belongs to us.

Honestly.

UN cannot do shiit.. na e dey represent different countries and membership no be for free, we dey pay our financial obligation steady, so therefore, UN has no right to dey owe us wetin belong to us. Any organ or institution in dis world can be taken to court, nothing is above the law. No dey see UN as god, infact, it is not as strong a body as you think, otherwise, a few individuals no go dey put them inside pocket.

True

OK óò.. I pray this goes down well..

Na only God know wetin I dey look for for my pápá briefcace when I jam TELL magazine when Buhari promised there would be steady power supply by the end of December 1984.. Na we dey kúkú supply power ourselves.

Nigeria is just another Encyclopædia

OSU and chest beating like gorilla, I even heard they were nacking monkey those years

Goverment of Clown

People like you should be stoned for your opinion against the country.

this is Nigeria, where people live on wrong opinion, what implications are you talking about, you guys practice the useless democracy in this part of the world,fraud will finish Nigeria sooner than later

Lol, it's because the fund is not remitted now,we heard about it,had it been it was remitted,it would have been business as usual, siphoning and fraudulently taking possession

Another Bold woman in the likes of Dora Akunyili detected in this present government

Same blood flowing on their veins They no dey fear!

For calling out the United Nations in her speech shows that she is courageous.

That is an interesting one..
What court will they be sued-- ICJ?
Which country will execute judgement against the UN? Perhaps.Nigeria

I think she is wrongly advised.

They've seen millions of dollars in pledges thinking all are redeemed and even if so, it could have been routed to other MDAs. We also have Humanitarian Affairs if she must know.

Stupid woman...she will end up fooling herself and her employer.


1) Why didn't they (Nigeria) source for funds themselves from the Donors. ..u think it's beans dealing with Donors?

2) Has she bothered to meet with her counterpart in the humanitarian affairs ministry to see the level of coordination going on?

3) Where was the govt when people were chased from Thier homes/farmlands by the so called terrorists?

4) how has the government been of help to these displaced people?

5) The UN has leadership in every country they operate & that is in the capacity of the UN Resident Coordinator. Has the stupid woman ever made move to see the UN-RC to discuss about the UN operational activities within the country....and she was not granted audience.....?
She thinks that by granting press interview & running her smelling mouth will show that she is working? .......I no blame her sha ....na that stupid certificate forging old man wey go give her position naim I blame.

6) It's obvious that she is not aware that majority of the Donors barely give out cash to recipient agencies, they prefer tying their funds to a project with measurable outcomes

The crab ass brain of the foolish ass woman thinks she can run her smelling mouth anyhow....the UN agencies will be more than glad to see you in court to expose your stupidity to your unborn generations..

Omihanifa:

She lacks experience.

However, as for your comment...what blowback?

Does the UN feed Nigeria or pay your electricity bill. So the UN is beyond accountable.

What power does the UN have over Nigeria.

Many Nigerians quake in their boots at the mention or sight of whites.

Do you know whether politicians don collect am chop since? Abi mak dem give ha mak she chop am

Between Uju and Betta, i don't know how is doing notice me more than doing the actual work they are supposed to do.

Uju wants to do the work of foreign affairs ministry too?

Betta is constantly jumping from one place to another like some form of campaign. She's busy doing nothing. All for the Camera? We don't want that.

Can't they see Wike, Umahi, Tunji-Ojo, Wale Edun and a host of others?

They better need to sit up. They can't be in our eyes always and we are not seeing process. It is not campaign time or notice me time.

Work! Great ministers, work!

Ma, u are just been emotional!!! It it cost u something very soon.
U want to sue UN?
Please ask relevant questions next time before next time before this kind of outburst
