Twitter's blue tick, also known as the verified badge, is a coveted symbol of status and credibility for many users on the platform. It was formerly only awarded to accounts that have been deemed authentic and of public interest by Twitter, and it helps to establish trust between the account owner and their followers. However, Twitter has started rolling out its revamped subscription service that allows anyone to pay for a verification badge. Here are steps on how to get your account verified via the subscription service paying from Nigeria.
Step 1:
Meet Twitter's Verification Requirements.
Before you can apply for a blue tick, you must ensure that your Twitter account meets the platform's verification requirements. Twitter's verification criteria vary depending on the account type, but the following are some general requirements for a blue tick:
Your account must be active, complete, and public.
You must have a profile picture, a header image, a bio, and a website link (if applicable).
Your account must have been active for at least six months.
You must have a confirmed email address and phone number associated with your account.
Your tweets must comply with Twitter's terms of service and community guidelines.
Your account must have a history of regular and significant engagement with your followers.
Step 2:
Check if the benefits are worth the cost or not
Once you have confirmed that your account meets Twitter's verification requirements, you can apply for verification.
Login to twitter on app, Click on the Twitter Blue option on the menu list, you get to see twitter blue benefits which includes, but are not limited to longer tweets, edit tweet option, bookmark folders, NFT profile pictures, fewer ads, ranking boasts etc.
Step 3:
Proceed to Payment
As much as payment amount varies by country, Payment from Nigeria is 11.00 USD (if paying monthly) or 114.99 USD (if paying yearly at a 12% discount). Pricing information by country can be found on twitter's pricing page here.
Since I found it difficult to pay with my debit cards, I opted for the Cardify africa's virtual dollar card at the rate of 760N/$ on www.cardify.co, I was able to fund my existing cardify card with 89,034 naira totalling 117.15 USD. Also note that you can fund your virtual cards to pay for several online bills with USDT and other stablecoins with them.
I entered my virtual card details on the checkout form on twitter. The payment was accepted immediately on twitter ad and I got the prompt that the verification will become active as soon as it gets reviewed, after three working days, I got the verified tick on my twitter account.
