Nigerians are sharing referral codes for the CityBoy Elite mobile application following social media claims that registered users could receive ₦120,000.
Screenshots circulating on Facebook show people encouraging others to download the application, enter referral codes and submit personal information to qualify for the alleged payment.
One promoter claimed beneficiaries would receive ₦120,000 after registration, while another said that applicants could be asked for their National Identification Number (NIN), voter details and bank account information.
However, the payment claims have not been independently verified, and the application’s Google Play description does not announce any ₦120,000 cash transfer.
The app shares branding associated with the City Boy Movement (CBM), linked to President Bola Tinubu, but its Google Play listing does not identify it as belonging to the movement or its website, cbmnigeria.org.
Instead, the listing identifies Metrosoftdev as the publisher and ETIJAR FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED as the developer. It provides cityboy.org as its support website.
According to the description, CityBoy Elite offers election information, polling results, news updates, surveys and interactive charts.
The developer states that the platform is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government entity and that information displayed through the application is unofficial.
Google Play indicates that the application has exceeded 100,000 downloads.
The screenshots also show membership cards, points and referrals, although these do not establish eligibility for financial assistance.
Nigerians are advised to verify payment announcements and avoid disclosing sensitive banking credentials to strangers.
How to register
Interested users can locate CityBoy Elite on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cityboyv2.app.
Screenshots suggest that registration may require a referral code from an existing user. Prospective applicants should examine the app’s privacy information, confirm the details requested and understand that registration does not guarantee payment.
