Elon Musk's Twitter has stripped Davido and Trump of their blue checks

Twitter, a popular microblogging site, has begun removing thousands of verification tick marks, with some public figures, including Donald Trump, Davido, and Cristiano Ronaldo, unaffected.

Elon Musk, the CEO, had previously stated that the deadline for free Blue badge removal was 4/20.

“The deadline for removing legacy Blue checks is April 20.” On his verified account, the 51-year-old business magnate and investor wrote.

A search of some public figures revealed that the blue tick was missing, including Pope Francis, former President Donald Trump, singers Justin Bieber, Davido, Wizkid, Katy Perry, and soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo.

Twitter founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey also appeared to have lost his tick mark.

Since taking over Twitter in October, Musk has leaned heavily on a subscription model, offering blue badges to anyone willing to pay $8 per month.

BREAKING: Nollywood Actor, Mr Ibu, Is Dead

BREAKING: Nollywood Actor, Mr Ibu, Is Dead

 

Naijanews gathered that Nollywood actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu, is dead.

He was said to have died on Saturday, March 2, 2024.

In October 2023, the veteran actor was reported ill and required financial assistance.

But in November 2023, Okafor’s family confirmed that one of his legs had been amputated to keep him alive.

The amputation became necessary because of an infection of the arteries at the ankle that was not detected early enough, his former manager Emeka Chochoo told PUNCH Online in November 2023 in an exclusive chat.

It was reported that he passed away in the hospital.

Meanwhile, celebrities and colleagues of the Nollywood veteran have mourned Mr. Ibu in various social media posts.

Mercy Johnson Okojie wrote, “It is well… Rest well sir…”

Ruth Kadiri wrote, “Sleep well Papa.”
