Assessment summary

An English-language news channel about Nigeria: short summaries of incidents, politics, healthcare and business, almost always with a link to a local publication. It has been running for more than three years and publishes about 3.3 posts per day.

It has 832 thousand subscribers, but a post sees a fraction of a percent of this base — ERR 0.3% versus 12.8% for similar channels in the catalog, and over 43 days the base decreased by about 65 thousand while median views fell from 3374 to 2594. Cleanliness index — 35/100, grade F, level "many deviations", so ad reach is hard to predict: part of the feed is occupied by third-party ad posts (casino, sale of advertising packages), and comments are closed.

About the channel

The channel runs an English-language news feed about Nigeria: incidents and security, politics, healthcare, business. Posts are short summary notes, some with photos; the channel is 3 years and 1 month old.

In the catalog, @dirtynaija_official and @the_nairobian are next to it. The first is noticeably smaller — 15,837 subscribers, but a post there is seen by 14.8% of the base; the second — 77,498 subscribers with an ERR of 20.5%. This channel has more subscribers than both, while the share of subscribers who see a post is 0.3%.

What it publishes:

  • Incidents and security: militant attacks in Taraba and Sokoto, child abduction in Jos, gang clashes in Lagos.
  • Politics: the state police law and Atiku's criticism of Tinubu's cost-of-living plan.
  • Healthcare: Ebola cases and school closures in Ogun after gas poisoning.
  • Business: Dangote refinery IPO and digital training with UNICEF and Airtel.

Posts are published mainly during the day and morning UTC, more often on weekdays; almost everything is original text with links to Nigerian publications (Vanguard, Daily Post, Nigerian Tribune), there are few forwards, but advertising inserts occur. By subscriber count, the channel is in the top third of the niche. Expect frequent short notes — about three per day.

By subscribers, it ranks #19 of 92 channels in the News and Media niche of the catalog.

What to pay attention to

Very low reach: ERR ≈ 0.3% with 831,856 subscribers

Median views are a fraction of a percent of the subscriber count: a tiny part of the audience sees the post. The subscribers are there, but there are almost no views.

What grade F means

The index is at its lowest: the metrics fall far outside usual values, or Telegram has flagged the channel as a scam. See the “How the assessment was produced” section for details.

Channel content

📣 Heavy advertising load

The feed contains a casino ad promising VIP status and a post about selling advertising packages across a network of Telegram channels.

Compared with similar channels

Compared with 23 News and Media catalog channels whose metrics look normal. They are a similar size: 341,779 to 2,203,432 subscribers.

ERR (reach) lower than 23 of 23
@Nigerii_News 0.3%
similar channels median 11.9%
Reactions per 100 views lower than 17 of 18
@Nigerii_News 0.36
similar channels median 1.16

This is not a niche norm: only catalog channels are included. A high ERR is not always a plus: if the other metrics do not support it, the index goes down.

Advertising outlook

Advertising placement: not recommended.

Some of the channel's metrics deviate, so it is hard to say in advance how many people will see an ad.

Not calculated: many of the channel's metrics deviate, so a forecast would be unreliable.

Reach of advertising posts

Too few advertising posts to compare: 2. 1 more are too fresh.

Without an ad label: 3 posts.

Questions about @Nigerii_News

What does the cleanliness index of @Nigerii_News show?

ERR is about 0.3%: the median post gets approximately 2,594 views with 831,856 subscribers. For similar channels in the catalog, the median ERR is 12.8%.

Is it worth advertising here?

Placement is marked as questionable. The reason is the low cleanliness index: the channel has deviations in its metrics, so it is hard to say in advance how many people will see the ad.
