A screenshot showing a ₦245,000 bank credit alert has circulated on social media alongside a post directing Nigerians interested in representing their local governments or states as “business farms” to register through a Nigerian Youths for BAT (NYFB) link.

The link between the alert and NYFB remains unverified. The credit alert, which appears to be from United Bank for Africa (UBA), carries the narration “NIGERIANYOUTHFORBAT MOBILIZATION TOKEN/NPS/INT” and is dated November 11, 2026.
Although the narration mentions Nigerian Youth for BAT, a screenshot alone cannot confirm who received the money, who sent it, the purpose of the transfer or whether the transaction is genuine. UBA has not been shown confirming the payment, while NYFB has not issued a statement linking the ₦245,000 transfer to its activities.
Checks on the organisation’s website show that Nigerian Youths for BAT describes itself as an All Progressives Congress (APC)-registered political support group. It says its focus is mobilising support for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign through grassroots engagement across states, local government areas and wards.
The website’s membership form requests personal details, including names, phone numbers, National Identification Number (NIN), occupation, state and local government area. It does not list a ₦245,000 payment or a business-farm registration scheme among the membership requirements.
There is also a discrepancy worth noting. NYFB’s homepage displays a notice saying new membership registration is temporarily closed because of a platform upgrade, although its join page remains accessible.
The circulating post’s instruction to add bank account details and wait should not be treated as proof of an approved government payment, grant or recruitment exercise. Nor is there enough evidence to conclude that the bank alert originated from NYFB.
How to register
The portal link is https://nigerianyouthforbat.org/. Nigerians should verify the claim directly with UBA and NYFB through confirmed contact channels before sharing information or taking action. Do not submit bank login details, card PINs, passwords or one-time passwords (OTPs), or pay any fee to access the alleged payment. Treat the ₦245,000 claim as unverified until the parties involved provide confirmation.
