    1. 85% of China's population don't know Nigeria, 95% of Vietnamnese don't know Nigeria. 15% n 5% of the both country knows Lagos. South Africa is more famous than Nigeria.

  9. for big news media outlets to make mistakes like these shows the gross neglect and disregard the network has for the country and I think the Nigerian government should call them out on that cos that is gross contempt

  14. They have corrected their mistake... it now reads:
    Five more ebola cases have been confirmed in Nigeria - bringing the total number to seven in its biggest city, Lagos, where the new patients are being treated in an isolation ward.

  23. Sky News UK is a 24-hour, multi-media news operation based in Britain. It provides non-stop rolling news on television, online, and on a range of mobile devices – as well as delivering a service of national and international radio news to commercial radio stations in the UK.

    FYI!!!! To whoever said "That's bcos americans are ignorant and arrogant and they bask in it.".

    Don't be ignorant urself! Okay!!!

  26. No, we are not UNPOPULAR. It shows how ignorant they are about AFRICA. Absolute ignorance. And that is why you should not rely on them for your news because apart from their bias, they are dumb headed and have no knowledge of things in the world.

  41. Can you blame them? Which country has changed it's capital? Lagos was the known capital for so many years. It's an excusable mistake. It doesn't make us less popular... Is this post an excuse to raise curses on the media?
