TikTok removes account of Nigerian creator Ushie Delight Agbo, sparks debate on policies

Nigerian social media creator and marketer Ushie Delight Agbo has had her TikTok account removed after the platform imposed a ban, a move that has generated strong reactions from fans and renewed criticism of TikTok’s moderation practices.

Agbo, popularly known online as “Energy Goddess” and “Queenlight,” had built a substantial presence since joining TikTok in 2021. Before the ban, her account had amassed 2.2 million followers and more than 62 million likes, positioning her among the notable rising creators in Nigeria’s digital space.

Born on August 9, 2000, Agbo combined entertainment and marketing on her page, promoting brands while maintaining an energetic style that resonated with audiences. Over the past three years, she gained recognition for her ability to connect with young viewers and sustain a loyal following.

Fan Reactions

The removal of her account has surprised and frustrated many of her supporters. Several fans have expressed disappointment across social media, questioning why TikTok would take down an account that had played a role in promoting positivity and creativity. Some followers called the action “unfair” and urged the platform to provide clarification or consider reinstating the account.

Criticism of TikTok

The incident has also reignited criticism of TikTok’s enforcement policies. Digital analysts note that creators worldwide have raised similar complaints, particularly around the lack of transparency when accounts are banned or suspended. In Nigeria, where TikTok has become a key platform for young influencers, creators have voiced concerns that sudden bans can disrupt livelihoods built around digital marketing and brand partnerships.

Media commentators argue that without clearer communication from TikTok, such decisions risk eroding trust between the platform and its creator community. The company has yet to issue an official statement on why Agbo’s account was removed.

What’s Next for Agbo

Although the ban marks a significant setback, observers believe Agbo’s established profile and experience in social media marketing may allow her to rebuild her presence elsewhere. Industry watchers suggest she could leverage her audience on other platforms while exploring avenues to appeal the ban or seek reinstatement.

Agbo’s case underscores the challenges faced by content creators navigating platform rules, as well as the broader debate about accountability and consistency in content moderation across global social networks.
