Nigerian social media influencer and blogger, Tunde Ednut returned to popular photo-sharing platform, Instagram three days ago and was on the verge of hitting a million followers in the space of the short period.

However, on the 13th of January, the account was taken down by Instagram and a situation like this can be very painful especially for a blogger like Tunde Ednut.

A look at the issue showed that he may have flouted one of Instagram rules which is as a result of the "Mass following and Massliking" from followers who were hoping to help him get back the numbers he previously had.

The mass following must have triggered the bot to see it as a spam action.

It is believed that new accounts have limitations way more than old accounts and Instagram looks at the activities going on each account to see if it is natural.

According to reports, there are limits and restrictions to the activities on each accounts as reports showed that for new account, the limits are different:

a maximum number of likes per hour: 30;
a maximum number of comments per hour: 30;
a maximum number of follows/unfollows per hour: 30.

Considering the influence Tunde Ednut has been able to gather, the best solution for him is to go independent in terms of starting a website or a blog of his own, in this way there is no issue about the number of followers or the number of post he makes.

You are missing a lot. I actually saw this second IG banning coming his way for some reason.

1. Fast Instagram growth within a short time of creation usually trigger IG algorithm as a bot activity. It attracts the company's attention.

2. Copyright infringement: He started reposting people's shoutouts and posts.

3. Blacklisted IP address: There are possibilities that his phone's IP address has been blacklisted due to his previous suspension and shadow banning.

4. Possibily, some hackers got paid by someone to heap accounts reporting his page. This means, his account might be getting 1k+ reposts per hour and you know what that means for 3 days.

5. And lastly, from a legal view. He's not suppose to be on Instagram again ever because he's a public figure who has been permanently banned before.
