The online community in Kenya known for being vocal and for their total
lack of chill on Tuesday returned with another hashtag. The butt of their jokes
this time was the BBC. The British news platform was briefly roasted for
refering to Kenyan Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery as
Nigerian.
The trolling came after a story on the
Air France flight No 463, which was on Sunday morning forced to make an
emergency landing in Mombasa after a security scare was aired on BBC with
Nkaissery’s clip captioned as "Nigerian Cabinet Secretary for
Interior"
Kenyans, being who they are took a screenshot of the photo and shared it
on Instagram and Twitter in an attempt to stage an African audience boycott
against the broadcasters. The hashtag #SomeOneTellBBC didnt trend though. Below
are a few of the tweets:
@Jwaigi tweeted, "#SomeoneTellBBC, there is a difference between
Kenya and Nigeria."
@DavidMaina_N tweeted, “#SomeoneTellBBC #Nkaissery is not from Oga
land."
@icaiser tweeted, "Iko sida #SomeoneTellBBC"
@ RooneyNjeru tweeted,
"#SomeoneTellBBC, Nkaissery is the KENYAN Cabinet Secretary for Internal
Security and Not Nigeria"
