AOT2, Osagie and Steve Dede unpack the ripple effects of militant violence in the Southeast, with $4.75B lost and mass displacement over "Sit-at-Home Mondays." The EFCC makes headlines both for defending its crackdown on spraying naira and launching a quirky quiz with airtime rewards. We break down Nigeria's 2025 budget, Tinubu’s $21.5B loan request, and the Ministry of Communications’ N150M streetlight project. The AI/Blockchain wave hits Ekiti, while Ahmed Musa skips Super Eagles camp for love. WAEC delays, smoking bans, Zubby Michael’s antics, Falz’s new album, five years of Omah Lay’s Get Layd and other news that made the rounds this week.
