A typical post picks up 108 interactions against 547K followers, an engagement rate of 0.02%. Measured over 49 original posts, its engagement rate beats 44% of 20,182 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 10K times each, and 1.06% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.85% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 49 posts sampled, 22% carry an image or video, 24% are part of a thread and 59% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.8K interactions, about 35x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Charles Onyango-Obbo's engagement rate beats 44% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,182 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 49% 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 0.02%, Charles Onyango-Obbo sits above the 10th percentile of the 202,076 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 202,076 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,928 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 10:00 UTC, and Monday 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: 10:00 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
Image or video22% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link59% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length-+15%+14% to +16%32K
  • 22% 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.
  • 59% 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 448 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above 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.

    Houthi tribal mobilization shows long lines of armed Toyota technicals in the desert, the classic Yemen war image. Bani Hashish tribes pledge readiness to march on Marib, the last major government stronghold in the north.

    Uber to exit Nigeria after 12 years, and Uganda after 10 years. It pulled out of Tanzania in Jan., 2026, and Ivory Coast in 2025. A friend visiting Uganda once called an Uber, and it arrived with the driver’s wife or girlfriend in the front passenger seat breastfeeding a baby. You can imagine the poor fellow’s shock!!! What are some of the strangest Uber stories you have heard in Africa?

    The language some factions in Uganda are using against rivals/critics makes Rwanda’s genocidal Interahamwe sound like bishops, and racist colonisers sound like pan-Africanists. How did the Pearl end up in such a political cesspool?

    Even in Zimbabwe and Uganda they don’t do this!!! Zambian authorities closed the country's top courts on August 24, blocking access to the premises on the last day that ‌the opposition could file a challenge to the August 13 stolen election.

    Dr Olive Kobusingye: physician, author, and a properly brilliant activist. Quiet-spoken, but undoubtedly one of the gutsiest Ugandan women you'll ever meet. She's the sister of political prisoner Dr Kizza Besigye. And, quite frankly, the kind of sister we all need in our lives🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

Measured over 49 original posts, its engagement rate beats 44% of 20,182 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

What is Charles Onyango-Obbo's engagement rate on X?
Charles Onyango-Obbo (@cobbo3) has an engagement rate of 0.02%, based on the median interactions across 49 original posts from the last 30 days against 547,307 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.02%, Charles Onyango-Obbo sits above the 10th percentile of the 202,076 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 @cobbo3 have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 44% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,182 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 @cobbo3 post?
Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.33 posts per day across the measured window.

Keep going
