It all began when one Kemi Omololu Olunloyo, a journalist in Nigeria, made a tweet saying that she would not be attending the African Women in Media 2019, which was being held in Kenya, due to a terror threat. Well, Kenyans didn’t take it lightly and she faced the full wrath of Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) after labelling Kenya as unsafe.
This is not the first time KOT members are trolling Nigerians, and you know our strengths, giving up without a fight is something we don’t hesitate to do. Maybe it’s time both coutriesjoined hands and worked towards a common good, right?

Nigerians and Kenyans fighting instead of joining hands and working together is the same reason Africa will never rise.

Giving her excuse on why she (Kemi) wouldn’t attend the meeting, she referred to the recent attack at the Mogadishu Mayorโs office saying Al-Shabaab terrorists often operate in Kenya. Hours after the tweet, the battle among the two countries erupted, this was uncalled for the tackles are hilarious.

Nigerians were all geared up to serve Kenyans with a taste of their own medicine.
The only relevance Kenyans gets on social media is dragging Nigerians. Leave out the fact that it is done without thought & logic, but ‘Kenya-not’ ? It’s not our faults that your weave wearing women want our men.
