Nigerian Man’s Claim of Receiving N36m from Twitter Ads Revenue Sharing, false.
A recent news article published by Punch Newspaper has claimed that a Nigerian user, Logik, celebrated receiving a substantial payment of N36,858,567 from Twitter through the ads revenue sharing program introduced by owner Elon Musk. The story also mentioned other users receiving payments as part of this program. However, a fact-check investigation reveals that this claim is false and raises questions about the accuracy of Punch Newspaper’s reporting.
Claim: Nigerian user Logik received N36,858,567 from Twitter’s ads revenue sharing program.
Fact Check:
Verification of User Eligibility: A fact check on the verified Twitter account of @iamlogikk raises significant doubts about the user’s eligibility for Twitter’s revenue-sharing program, which is now known as “X.” The user’s follower count and post impressions are mentioned as key factors in eligibility. Even if Logik were eligible, it is highly improbable that he could earn such a substantial amount, as his follower count does not exceed 100,000. Users must have at least 5M impressions on their posts within the last 3 months.
Dubious Claims: The reported payment amount of N36,858,567 appears highly exaggerated, especially given the user’s supposed follower count. Such a payment would be unprecedented for a user with relatively limited reach on the platform.
Conclusion:
In light of these findings, it is clear that the story published by Punch Newspaper about Logik receiving N36,858,567 from Twitter’s ads revenue sharing program is false and should not be trusted as accurate news.
Punch Newspaper’s publication of this story without adequate verification highlights the importance of responsible journalism and fact-checking in the era of digital media.
The public should exercise caution when encountering sensational claims and always seek reliable sources for accurate information
