Time magazine refers to abducted Chibok girls as "Boko Haram girls"

So Time magazine today revealed the names of those nominated for Person of the Year 2014, and the missing Chibok girls were nominated, which is a great. The only problem is that Time referred to the girls as "Boko Haram girls" in their list.

Trust Nigerians to call call them out. Continue to see the rest of the list and tweets from some Nigerians who found it distasteful...

The truth sure can be bitter, the difference between calling the abducted ChibokGirls, BokoHaram Girls is 1/2 coz dem girls might ve been assaulted in 101 ways

Nobody is beyond mistake. I don't know why we like paying attention to irrelevant things in this country. Am sure it was an honest mistake to have called them boko haram girls.

ABEG FREE TIME, THEY EVEN TRIED TO CONSIDER AN 'AFRCAN PROBLEM' TO WIN THEIR PRESTIGOUS AWARD. AT LEAST THEY KNOW THE GIRLS WERE KIDNAPPED BY BOKO HARAM. WHY WILL THEY REMEMBER CHIBOK, NA THEIR MAMA VILLAGE? ALL WE KNOW IS HOW TO CALL OUT THEIR ERRORS ON TWITTER, WHEN WE CANNOT BUILD OUR OWN WORLD CLASS MEDIA CHANELS. THAT'S HOW NIG FOLKS WERE CALLING OUT CNN FOR A WRONG AFRICAN MAP. WHY WILL THEY GET IT RIGHT, AFRICA NA THEIR PAPALAND? DO WE HAVE ANY WORLD CLASS NEWS CHANNEL THAT COVERED/COVERS THE ENTIRE KIDNAPPED GIRLS SAGA? NO. WE KNOW ALL THE STATES IN AMERICA BUT TO THEM NIGERIA IS A STATE IN AFRICA. WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE GIRLS WHO ESCAPED/RETURNED FROM BOKO HARAM CAMP. IF WE HAD A CNN, WE WOULD HAVE INTERVIEWED ONE OF THEM AND TURNED HER INTO A BRAVE 'MALALA' - AND SHE WOULD WIN NOBEL PRIZE AND BE ADVISING PRESIDENTS - BUH NO, WE ARE BUSY WAITING FOR TIME TO MAKE MISTAKE SO WE CAN ATTACK THEM, MTSCHEEEW.UNTIL U HAVE YOUR OWN CNN TO LET THEM KNOW HOW THE MAP IS DIVIDED - U ARE A COUNTRY JOR.

SHAME ON YOU NIGERIA. U HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUILD 5 CNNS, AND 20 TIME MAGAZINES, AND GIVE OUT YOUR OWN GLOBAL AWARDS, BUT YOU BUSY WAITING FOR AMERICA. NOT SURPRISING WHEN UR PRESIDENT SAID THAT AMERICA WILL KNOW. KEEP WAITING. UNTIL THEN,TO THEM AFRICA REMAINS A COUNTRY! AND A LAUGHING STOCK.

Yes Nigeria is corrupt and refuse to adhere to the people's problems or even develop the country n dat is wat d developed countries promote, u c it in their news,films,novels n so on. This mistake is not to put Africa or Nigeria on the map but to disgrace us. Are there no crimes in America or Britain but they focus more on Africa's problems not to only help out,mind you but to diminish us. We can do better if the leaders work hard and give people the opportunity to express themselves but that doesn't mean there is no good in Nigeria
