“A viral video compilation shows a growing, unified protest movement against Nigerian President Bola Tinubu's government.”

Multiple independent fact-checking organizations, including The FactCheckHub and AFP Fact Check, have investigated viral videos circulating on social media that purport to show recent, unified anti-government protests against President Bola Tinubu. These investigations consistently found that the videos are misleadingly edited compilations of older footage. For instance, one viral clip was traced back to the #EndBadGovernance protests that occurred in August 2024, while another video showing a large crowd in Abeokuta was actually filmed in 2023 during protests following the death of the musician Mohbad. By stripping these clips of their original context and presenting them as a single, current, and unified movement, social media users have created a false narrative regarding the scale and nature of current political dissent in Nigeria. There is no evidence to support the claim that these specific viral compilations represent a new, unified protest movement against the current administration.
