Content Correction & Update Policy
Our Commitment to Accuracy, Accountability & Transparency for Nigerian Readers
Welcome to Our Transparency Hub
At Daily Reality NG, we believe trust is earned through transparency and accountability. This policy explains exactly how we handle errors, corrections, and content updates. Since 2016, we've been committed to providing accurate, reliable information to everyday Nigerians navigating life, business, and digital opportunities.
Our Promise: We take accuracy seriously. When we make mistakes, we own them, correct them quickly, and learn from them.
Why You Can Trust This Policy
- 9+ years of experience serving Nigerian readers since 2016
- 800,000+ monthly readers trust our content across Africa
- 4,000+ Nigerians helped to start making money online
- Transparent editorial process with clear accountability measures
- Quick response times - corrections within 48-72 hours
- Google News approved publisher meeting highest standards
Why This Policy Matters: A Real Story
Let me be honest with you. Back in 2018, we published an article about cryptocurrency trading platforms available to Nigerians. We recommended a platform that, at the time, seemed legitimate. Three months later, that platform suddenly shut down, and some readers lost money.
The truth is, we felt terrible. One reader sent us an email saying, "I trusted your recommendation and lost ₦85,000. Why didn't you warn us?" That message hit different. We immediately updated the article with a prominent warning, reached out to affected readers, and completely overhauled our vetting process for financial recommendations.
Here's what nobody tells you about running a content platform: mistakes happen. But what separates trustworthy publishers from the rest is how they handle those mistakes. That painful experience taught us that our readers deserve more than just accurate content—they deserve transparency when things go wrong and a clear path to request corrections.
Many Nigerians know this struggle. You read something online, act on it, and when it doesn't work out, there's no accountability. The publisher just moves on to the next article. We decided to be different. This policy isn't just words on a page—it's our commitment to every Nigerian who trusts us with their time and decisions.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
At Daily Reality NG, accuracy isn't optional—it's fundamental. We understand that our Nigerian readers make real-life decisions based on our content, whether it's starting a business, investing money, or changing careers.

⚠️ Real Talk: We're human, and humans make mistakes. But we believe what matters most is how we handle those mistakes. Every error is an opportunity to improve and rebuild trust with our readers.

Our Review Process
Want to know the truth? We take every correction request seriously, but we also verify everything before making changes. Here's our step-by-step process:
The 5-Step Review Process
Step 1: Acknowledgment (Within 24 Hours)

How We Display Corrections
If we talk am well, transparency means being upfront about our mistakes. When we make a correction, we don't quietly edit the article and hope nobody notices. Here's exactly how we handle it:
Correction Labels & Formats
Minor Corrections
For typos, spelling errors, or minor factual fixes:
We make the correction silently without a notice, as these don't affect the substance of the article.
Standard Corrections
For factual errors, outdated information, or significant mistakes:
We add an "Editor's Note" at the top or relevant section of the article.
Major Corrections
For errors that significantly impact readers or could cause harm:
We add a prominent "Correction" notice at the top in a highlighted box.
Retractions
For articles with fundamental flaws:
We may retract the article entirely with a full explanation of why.
Example Correction Formats
🔸 Standard Correction Example:
Editor's Note (December 17, 2025): This article originally stated that the minimum wage in Nigeria is ₦30,000. This has been updated to reflect the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 as of October 2024, following the implementation of the new Minimum Wage Act. We regret the error.
🔸 Major Correction Example:
⚠️ IMPORTANT CORRECTION (December 17, 2025): This article previously recommended a cryptocurrency exchange that has since been flagged by the SEC for fraudulent activities. We have removed that recommendation and strongly advise any readers who used this platform to monitor their accounts and report any issues to the SEC. We sincerely apologize for this error and have strengthened our vetting process for financial recommendations.
What Every Correction Includes
- Date of Correction: When the correction was made
- What Was Wrong: Clear explanation of the original error
- What's Correct: The accurate information
- Why It Matters: How this affects readers (when significant)
- Source: Where we verified the correct information
- Acknowledgment: Credit to the reader who spotted it (if they consent)
💡 Transparency Principle: We never delete or hide corrected content. We use strikethrough text to show what was changed, so readers can see both the original error and the correction. This builds trust through complete honesty.
Types of Content Updates
Not all changes to our articles are corrections. Let me be honest about the different types of updates we make and why:
Update Categories
1. Error Corrections
What it is: Fixing factually incorrect information that was wrong when originally published.
Example: "We incorrectly stated that POS agents can withdraw ₦100,000 daily. The correct limit is ₦300,000."
How we mark it: "Correction" label with date
2. Updates for Currency
What it is: Refreshing content that was accurate when published but has since become outdated.
Example: "Updated December 2025: Dollar rate has changed from ₦950/$1 to ₦1,580/$1"
How we mark it: "Updated" label at the top of article
3. Clarifications
What it is: Adding context or explanation without changing the original content, usually because readers found something confusing.
Example: Adding a definition of "forex trading" after readers asked what it means.
How we mark it: "Editor's Note" explaining the addition
4. Supplemental Updates
What it is: Adding new, relevant information that enhances the article without changing original content.
Example: Adding a new section about a recently launched government program.
How we mark it: "Update" heading with date in the new section
5. Policy/Regulatory Changes
What it is: Updating content due to changes in laws, regulations, or official policies.
Example: "Updated to reflect new CBN guidelines on cryptocurrency transactions (Dec 2025)"
How we mark it: Prominent "Important Update" box at the top
Our Update Schedule
Here's how we proactively keep content fresh:
- Evergreen Content: Reviewed and updated every 6 months
- Financial Articles: Reviewed quarterly for rate/policy changes
- How-To Guides: Updated when processes or requirements change
- Product Reviews: Re-evaluated annually or when products change significantly
- News/Trending Topics: Marked as "Published [Date]" to indicate timeliness
