Compared with accounts its own size

Dele Farotimi. A victim of Nigeria's engagement rate beats 38% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 59% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,701 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 104,204 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    My grave matters more to me than my bed. I can always lay my bed, or have it laid for me. I have no say as to my grave, and it matters more to me, than my bed. I will die happily, knowing that I NEVER betrayed my purpose. Take it to the bank..😊 #Enikure!πŸ–πŸΏπŸ€¬ https://t.co/uLrmNWFX1m

    Further to my #OsunGuber2026 election night tweet reproduced (Image 4), I still believe that @inecnigeria owes Nigerians clear answers to 3 critical questions: 1. Why did result transmission freeze for nearly 3 hours (20:48 hrs–23:42 hrs ) on the Election night? Why the sudden rush of 236 results in less than 1 minute right after that (Image 1)? 2. Why were 51 polling unit results uploaded ONLY after declaring a winner (Image 2)? 3. Why are 11 polling unit results still missing on IReV even TODAY (Image 3)? #GoNigeria #Osunvotes2026

    He said this during the campaign of 2022 "I swear to God. I can swear with my life and that of my first child that presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu never had anything to do with drugs while he was in the US. How can a 1st class graduate be doing drugs? do this liars know what it means to graduate with a 1st class in an American university? Its all lies from those online Obidients. This is why I don't take all those ranting from those online obidients seriously." -Journalist Babajide Ottito of TVC Aug 21, 2026. "If the US release those files I will conclude that they just want to destroy our democracy. How can they be considering releasing those file that's like 40 years old at this era when Nigeria economy is booming and stabilizing and at a time when the president is delivering on all his campaign promises. Let's watch and see. But I know they won't release it. It is of no use to any Nigerian" - Journalist Babajide Ottito of TVC.

    Joe Biden's administration: We cannot officially confirm or deny whether the records of Bola Ahmed Tinubu exist in our system. Trump's government: We can confirm that 399 pages of Bola Ahmed Tinubu's records bothering on drug matters exist in our system. However, we cannot disclose them to the public because it will endanger the lives of our officers. This is the same U.S. that has positioned itself as the watchdog of the whole world for decades. This is the same U.S. that keeps telling Africa that we are corrupt because we literally play politics with everything. Then, when it comes to Tinubu's case, suddenly transparency develops conditions. One thing I like about President Tinubu is that no matter who you are, whether a pastor, a respected personality, or even a powerful nation, he will always use his case to expose your hypocrisy.

    In 2007, Attorney-General of the Federation, Mike Aondoakaa, told us u do not have to be in #Nigeria to be president. Early 2008, @SupremeCourtNg told us in @ChibuikeAmaechi's case that you do not need to be on the ballot to win an election. Now we have it on the authority of @officialABAT's team that you do not need to be educated to be president of #Nigeria. It is possible that #Nigeria's presidency has come to be defined not by what you need to do or be to get there but by what you do not need. What else can you do without if you want to be president of Nigeria....? https://t.co/mH6mGJoG4y

What is Dele Farotimi. A victim of Nigeria's engagement rate on X?
Dele Farotimi. A victim of Nigeria (@DeleFarotimi) has an engagement rate of 0.043%, based on the median interactions across 29 original posts from the last 30 days against 371,223 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.043%, Dele Farotimi. A victim of Nigeria sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,701 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @DeleFarotimi have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 38% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @DeleFarotimi post?
Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.9 posts per day across the measured window.
