TikTok removes over 2.1 million videos in Nigeria in Q2 2024 for community guideline violations.
In a recent Community Guidelines Enforcement Report, TikTok announced significant strides in its content moderation efforts, underscoring its commitment to creating a safer platform for users. The report revealed that 99.1% of problematic videos were proactively removed before users had a chance to report them, with an impressive 90.7% taken down within 24 hours of being uploaded. This proactive approach highlights TikTok’s dedication to swiftly addressing harmful content, particularly for its users in Nigeria, where the affected videos constituted less than 1% of all uploads during the reporting period.
Globally, TikTok showcased its efficacy by removing over 178 million videos in June 2024, with a substantial 144 million of these removals being driven by automated systems. The platform now boasts a proactive detection rate of 98.2%, allowing it to tackle harmful content more efficiently than ever before.
In a statement, TikTok reaffirmed its commitment to investing in advanced technologies that improve content moderation practices while continuously assessing potential risks. The company remains dedicated to transparency and safety, ensuring the well-being of its diverse user base both in Nigeria and worldwide.
As TikTok continues to innovate its content moderation processes, users can feel more confident in engaging with the platform, knowing that their safety is a top priority.
Nigerian singer Naira Marley’s family life has become a topic of public interest after Instagram model and TikToker Sandra Benede publicly acknowledged being the mother of his twin daughters, Aishat and Simiat Fashola.
The admission occurred during a recent livestream with streamer Peller, who initiated the conversation regarding the children. While Ms. Benede confirmed her parentage, she clarified that she and Mr. Marley are not married.
Speculation regarding a potential relationship between the two figures arose in May 2022 following a birthday greeting from Ms. Benede to Mr. Marley. The recent confirmation now sheds further light on their connection and the children’s parentage.
Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has recently ignited a debate regarding the necessity of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination for university admissions in Nigeria. In a statement posted on her Instagram story, Njoku questioned the need for JAMB and post-UTME, arguing that the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) should be sufficient proof of a candidate’s completion of secondary education.
Her statement comes amidst recent controversy surrounding JAMB, particularly following widespread reports of mass failures in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME). While JAMB has admitted to errors and announced retakes for affected candidates, Njoku’s questioning highlights a deeper concern regarding the redundancy and potential inefficiencies within the current university admission process. The actress’s comments add fuel to an existing debate about the effectiveness and fairness of the JAMB examination in evaluating a student’s readiness for tertiary education.
