Lawyer Ahmednasir gets back Twitter verification after vowing not to pay

 

City Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi  \has vowed not to pay for Twitter Verification.

He says the money can be used to do something constructive such as helping needy people in society.

"It is HARAM to pay $8 dollars a month to the richest man in the world @elonmusk when the same can feed a family in Kenya for a week. I WILL NOT PAY IT!!!"

The lawyer is among hundreds whose Twitter verifications have been returned

"Looks like @elonmusk paid for my Twitter subscription and restored the blue tick @WehliyeMohamed."

Other prominent people among them Larry Madowo have vowed not to pay.

In a tweet, Madowo said that he had received notifications from Twitter. alerting him that his badge will soon disappear.

He also mentioned that his employer CNN will not pay the verification fee to keep their blue badge.

Since Elon Musk took over Twitter as the new owner - he introduced new changes and now users will have to pay Sh1060 to keep or buy new verification badges.

“I have no plans to pay for Twitter Blue at this time and neither does CNN.

“Twitter says my blue checkmark will soon disappear - after 12 years of being verified.

“Anyone will be able to create an account in my name and get it verified for $8. What could possibly go wrong?,” Larry Madowo wrote.

The blue check mark means that the account has an active subscription to Twitter Blue and meets its eligibility requirements.

Among the first to lose it was DP Rigathi Gachagua. Sports personality Carol Radull has informed her fans she lost it sharing a screenshot of it.

Diamond Platnumz, Zuchu, Wizkid, Davido, Cristiano Ronaldo have also lost their badges. Musk is now charging $8 a month for verification through Twitter Blue.

Most of these celebrities have since gotten back their verified account
