Translation is one of the most important indispensable means of communication between people from different linguistic backgrounds, most especially in this digital age. This study examines the role of translation as a mediating tool for intercultural understanding on social media platforms, with particular focus on English-Arabic interactions in Nigeria that is known as a multilingual and culturally diverse society, where social media has become a key space for cross-cultural communication. The research adopts a qualitative approach, which is employed to analyse the content of selected social media post, alongside case studies of intercultural exchanges. It explores how translation facilitates communication across linguistic boundaries, while also investigating instances where mistranslation or loss of cultural nuance leads to misunderstanding or conflict. The findings highlight that translation on social media functions not only as a linguistic process but also as a form of cultural mediation. While machine translation tools enhance accessibility and speed, human translation, on the other hand, proves more effective in preserving pragmatic and cultural nuances. The study contributes to the fields of Translation Studies and Digital Communication by demonstrating the complex interplay between language, culture, and technology in online environments. It also provides practical recommendations for improving intercultural communication through more culturally aware translation practices on social media platforms.

This study investigates the structural relationship between the Supreme Audit Institution (SAI) regulatory framework and financial accountability within the Nigerian public sector, specifically; it investigates the adequacy of current constitutional provisions governing the Office of the Auditor-General for the Federation (OAuGF) and examines how a lack of direct prosecutorial powers hinders effective financial accountability. Adopting a convergent parallel mixed-methods research design, data was gathered from both quantitative and qualitative populations. The quantitative sample comprised 237senior field officers derived via Krejcie and Morgan tables, while the qualitative data was obtained from interview conducted on four purposively selected experts across academia, law, accounting, and the OAuGF. The quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics and Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) while the qualitative data was analysed using thematic Nvivo. Findings revealed that while formal constitutional provisions establishing the OAuGF exist (M = 3.61, SD = 0.971), the existing legal mechanisms are widely considered inadequate for enforcing robust financial accountability due to an obsolete colonial-era framework (Audit Ordinance of 1956). It also reveal that granting the SAI explicit powers to prosecute financial infractions directly would significantly strengthen financial accountability in the public sector (M = 3.21, SD = 1.077).Guided by Institutional Theory, the study recommends amongst others that the Executive immediately assent to the Federal Audit Bill, the National Assembly expand the legislative oversight mandates of the SAI, and constitutional amendments be instituted to formalize modern administrative structures.
