Nigeria - Yesterday, Al-Shabaab terrorists launched an attack at a Kenyan university in Nairobi leaving 147 dead and many others injured.

CNN evening news, a global renowned news source however committed a blunder by reporting that to the world that Nairobi (Kenya) is situated in Nigeria.

The mistake hurt badly both Kenyans and Nigerians as the two countries suffer from terrorist activities.

Lawrence Omole @omoledarocha via twitter says: "what a news blunder. Nairobi is in Nigeria ? CNN takes in pleasure in reading bad news about Nigeria?"

Jorge Elvis @ThisisDrelin followed with "@CNN i think d Nigeria people deserves an apology from ur abysmal coverage of d Nairobi attack, Saying Nairobi is in Nigeria"

Via Facebook, Michael Alfred says: “Maybe because of Chibok girl’s incident they thought another one is happening again. I think they need to apologies to Nigeria.”

Onedibe Emmanuel: “This how the keep damaging our image!”

Ebere Oko: “lol! it ain’t d first tyme dey r makin d mistake. silly americans!”

Yesterday’s blunder: not the first in the history of reporting, but hopefully the last.
