X hit by global outage in Nigeria, other countries
A significant service disruption hit X, formerly Twitter, leaving tens of thousands of users unable to access the platform via both its mobile app and website, on Monday.
The platform, formerly known as Twitter, reportedly failed to load for many users, with the outage beginning early in the day.
Users complained that attempts to access the site often resulted in the interface freezing on the X logo, while some users who managed to load their feeds were met with an error message stating, “Something went wrong. Try reloading.”
As of the time of reporting, service has been restored.
Data from outage monitoring service Downdetector indicated a sharp spike in complaints, suggesting the disruption was widespread.
Users across several countries, including Canada, Australia, France, Indonesia, Ghana, Nigeria, and Germany, reported difficulties using the platform.
Checks showed that the outage affected both desktop and mobile versions, preventing users from refreshing timelines, posting updates, or accessing core features.
Monday’s incident is the latest in a series of technical challenges faced by the platform.
In November 2025, X and internet infrastructure firm Cloudflare were hit by a separate widespread outage that disrupted services for users in multiple countries, including the United States, India, and Nigeria.
That disruption similarly affected basic functions, with users unable to load timelines or send posts.
Despite recurring outages, X remains one of the world’s most widely used social media networks.
However, the latest downtime has triggered fresh concerns among users who rely on the platform for news updates, business activities, and real-time communication.
