KOT Attack American TV Station For Confusing Kenya With Nigeria
I don’t know if it was sheer ignorance, negligence or just an honest mistake made by one of NBC’s news anchors brian Williams or if it was just a tough day at work
but The National Broadcasting Company’s presenter accidentally referred to the girls kidnapped by Nigeria’s Militia Boko Haram as Kenyans …twice

Kenyans are having none of it and in usual Kenyan fashion NBC had to be ‘told’ through the trending hashtag #someonetellNBC
Ciara @c_airuh #someonetellnbc to at least pretend to give a damn
Quanza Quanisha @Quvale #someonetellnbc Google is real. It has maps and everything #KenyaisnotNigeria
Patrick Mukora @parekenya #KOT #SomeOneTellNBC that #Kenya and #Nigeria are two separate countries …. #GoogleMaps says so #Wikipedia also concur
James Kotikash @Kotikash #SomeoneTellNBC geographical ignorance is worst than sexual inferiority
Asha Jaffar @AshaJaffar If an African journalist makes a mistake he’s incompetent if it’s an America? #SomeoneTellNBC
Shiro Mutero @WanJeeRow #SomeoneTellNBC to bloody buy an atlas. Pick up a ruler as well if it will help you get your facts straight
Mohamed Wehliye @WehliyeMohamed #SomeoneTellNBC They should ask the Kenyan at the White House and Lupita Nyong’o the difference between Nigeria and Kenya
