A typical post picks up 1 interaction against 4.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 1032 original posts, its engagement rate beats 0% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 2.4K times each, and 0.041% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.057% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 34.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1032 posts sampled, 25% carry an image or video and 94% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.1K interactions, about 1097x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #nationgender, #healthynation, #earthwise.

Compared with accounts its own size

Daily Nation's engagement rate beats 0% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 3% 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.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0%, Daily Nation sits below the 10th percentile of the 204,694 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,694 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,880 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 08:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 08:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it

  • 25% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 94% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 171 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    Fredah Onduso sings to make sense of the world. She does this in the way a teacher or preacher may use a familiar chorus to crack open a difficult idea. In a two-hour interview at Nation Centre, Nation, she broke into song more than 10 times. A line from a Congolese rhumba to explain political betrayal, a few bars of a Kisii folk tune to illustrate how women carry stories that reflect communities and norms, a snatch of Miriam Makeba to talk about exile and courage. #NationGender Read more: https://t.co/X3bETeb1QA

    The Linda Mwananchi movement has formally endorsed Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as its presidential candidate, in a move that appears to close the door on Siaya Governor James Orengo’s bid for the same ticket. Mr Orengo skipped Saturday’s retreat at which the endorsement was made despite having publicly declared his interest in competing for the movement’s presidential ticket.

    Plans to disrupt the Linda Mwananchi rally in Homa Bay on Sunday were reportedly set in motion days earlier, with politicians mobilising youths and setting up a network to coordinate attacks by the goons. The goons who were deployed in an attempt to block leaders of the breakaway ODM faction from entry into the county, and who subsequently attacked the convoy along the routes, were each reportedly paid between Sh2,000 and Sh4, 000.

    To many outsiders, Abdi appears to be an ordinary resident of Homa Bay Town. The tall, well-built man is often seen walking through the town, casually interacting with residents. But beneath that unassuming exterior is a figure whom some residents and people familiar with his activities describe as an influential mobiliser among groups of youths in Homa Bay. People who know him allege that he plays a role in organising youths during political meetings, including giving instructions on what they should do before, during and after political gatherings.

    A phone rang with a ringtone reserved for then-President Uhuru Kenyatta. General Robert Kibochi stepped out of the room, pressed the handset to his ear, and heard the Commander-in-Chief say, “Hongera, General. Wewe sasa ni Mkuu wa Majeshi..." These words appear in the new memoir, Arrowhead: Lessons from Cadet School to the Office of the Chief of Defence Forces, by General Robert Kibochi. Read more: https://t.co/q9LDhK4ARr

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 1 interaction against 4.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 1032 original posts, its engagement rate beats 0% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 2.4K times each, and 0.041% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.057% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 34.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week.

What is Daily Nation's engagement rate on X?
Daily Nation (@NationAfrica) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 1032 original posts from the last 30 days against 4,273,216 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0%, Daily Nation sits below the 10th percentile of the 204,694 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 @NationAfrica have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 0% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size 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 @NationAfrica post?
Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 34.4 posts per day across the measured window.
