Two of the most popular social media platforms, Instagram and Facebook, experienced a widespread outage on Tuesday evening.
Both platforms, owned by the American company Facebook Inc., rely on shared infrastructure.
The disruption occurred shortly before 5:00 p.m. Nigerian time, rendering users unable to view posts on refresh.
In response to the outage, numerous users turned to X (formerly Twitter), another social networking platform, to express their frustrations and share their experiences.
