Why Audience Demographics Matter

Understanding who follows an account reveals the type of influence they hold. Accounts followed primarily by users with few followers indicate broad, mainstream appeal. Those with many high-follower followers have greater potential for content amplification through secondary sharing.

Account age distribution also tells a story: a follower base with many new accounts might indicate recent viral growth, while established followers suggest long-term, stable influence. Geographic data helps understand the cultural context and timezone spread of the audience.

NPP MPs want Ken Ofori Atta out. NDC MPs also want Ken Ofori Atta out. Yet, we are using our scanty resources on a committee to debate his removal because the Majority side doesn't want to support the Minority to do the same thing they both want. A joke we are. #KenMustGo https:/

I went to Sister's Waakye, a popular joint in Adabraka. The lady said she dishes from 10 Cedis. I ordered for 10 Cedis, 1 fish tail, 1 piece of meat. No gari. No nothing. Wrap in leaves. People of God, she took 55 Cedis from me. I'm still calculating, but it's not calculating. Ei

Brother @Fentuo_, a Muslim got married to his Christian wife in church today. I've been educated by Muslim Scholars that this is allowed in Islam. As for the skirmishes he performed before kissing the bride, only the Tumu people and their gods can explain because, Eiii 🤣 https:/
