How the Nigeria desk works

A rate decision in Abuja. A startup exit in Lagos. A story the world picked up from Kano. This desk is Nigeria across every beat: business, policy, technology, culture. Each story judged and receipted.

Poblysh desks are machine-assisted: an editorial charter, a versioned judge, and a signed receipt on every placement. A human can override any row — and when one is wrong, the correction is public.

The charter

This desk carries

  • Nigerian business, policy and public-life events with weight
  • Nigerian companies and people acting abroad
  • Decisions in Abuja and the states that move markets or lives

It skips

  • Wire reprints with no Nigeria-specific angle
  • Celebrity and lifestyle coverage with no consequence
  • Sponsored content and paid announcements presented as editorial

The receipt on every row

Each placement is stored with a signed receipt: the desk slug, the item key, the model version, the confidence and the source link hashed into one value. The badge under a wire row names the model and score that placed it; change any of the fields and the hash stops matching — that is the audit.

Right of reply and corrections

When a placement is wrong — or the outlet's report was — the correction is public. A flagged row is resolved within one business day; the resolved note stays on the record.

Corrections and right-of-reply requests go to media@poblysh.com.
