Nigerians and Kenyans stage international tweet fight – #SomeoneTellKenya vs #SomeoneTellNigeria (TWEETS)
by Rachel Ogbu
As expected, the report on how the Kenyan football team, Harambee Stars were treated on arrival into Nigeria to play a World Cup qualifying game against the Super Eagles on Saturday drew a lot of attention from both countries.
There were also accompanying pictures that showed the visiting team training by the side of a building, allegedly at Oshodi primary school instead of a refined football field.
Subsequent reports revealed that they received a poor welcome at the airport on Wednesday, were also told their flight to Calabar where the match is scheduled to hold tomorrow had already left, then were lodged apparently in a 2 star hotel without security.
Readers obviously passionate about their team and country took to twitter after the news was published and by midnight yesterday, #SomeoneTellKenya and #SomeoneTellNigeria was still trending worldwide.
According to reports, tweets were coming in from Asia, the US, UK and across Africa.
See some of the tweets here, most are just healthy banters and there were some very funny ones too:
