web naij.com Revealed: How Nigerian Celebrities Are Buying Fake Followers On Twitter

So I got a mail yesterday from an IT person
revealing a lot about what some of our
Nigerian celebs are doing on Twitter.
Quite a number of them are artificially
inflating their Twitter followers to
make themselves appear popular
online.
It's like a big competition now; who has the most
followers, who has the biggest fans etc…hehe!
I have names and numbers…and how much some of
them are paying to get these fake followers, but I
will leave all that out, there's no point! . One celeb
went from 73k followers to 150k followers in less
than one week. Choi! Lol. They do it in a way that
people who are following them do not even know
they are following them, and when you find out you
are following them, you can't even unfollow them.
But the good thing about it is that the Twitter
accounts they target are mostly those of foreigners.
And it cost less N1.5k per follower..in case anyone is
interested…:-)
US presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, was
recently called out for his fake twitter followers and
Youtube recently stripped 2 billion views from Justin
Bieber, Rihanna, Beyonce, Rita Ora, Michael
Jackson's videos on its site amid fears the figures
were artificial inflated.
