BLUE TICK! BBNaija’s Tobi gets verified on Instagram
Former Big Brother Naija housemate and second runner-up, Tobi Bakre, has joined the league of Nigerian’s with verified Instagram handles.
The ex-housemate excitedly shared the news on his Instagram page. He wrote, “tobibakre #tobination #verified.”
This makes the former Heritage banker the first housemate to get verified amongst the season three #DoubleWahala housemates.
A verified badge (blue tick) is a check that appears next to an Instagram account’s name in search and on the profile. It means that Instagram has confirmed that this is the authentic account for a public figure, celebrity or global brand it represents.
Instagram verifies accounts because well-known figures and brands have a high likelihood of being impersonated. The main goal is to give a unique and fluid experience for people in the Instagram community.
Another housemate, Bisola though from the season two edition also got her Instagram page verified recently. She was the first runner-up of the “See Gobe” edition.
