Epic tweet of the day

Kenyans are not happy about being described as a terrorist hotbed and have been hitting CNN all day. Meanwhile Kenya's Interior Minister, Joseph Nkaisserry has asked CNN to apologize for the comment. He said this during a press briefing this morning
"Kenya like any other country in the world is at the risk of terror attacks, the attacks do not turn it into a hotbed. Kenya is not a terror hotbed as portrayed by CNN. I urge Kenyans to treat the CNN report with the contempt it deserves. If CNN is civilized enough, they should apologise" he said

      If Kenya is terrorists hotbed.. Maybe they are still researching a suitable nickname for Nigeria.

    They should park well. I know CNN has offended them but there's a lot of loopholes in this tweet o. They call Lupita the most beautiful woman in the world? I'll be extremely disappointed if she is the most beautiful in Kenya.... As for having the most iconic athletes, I don't know whatever they mean by the term 'iconic' but they don't have Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake or Veronica Campbell who all came from one country (Jamaica) or Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Shawn Crayford who all came from one country (the US) so what is iconic about their athletes. CNN has offended them and should apologise but this tweet has scored 5/10 in my estimation.

    People will rather rant at the fact that some individuals said Lupita is the most beautiful woman on earth instead of focusing on the bigger picture. Guess what? African women are all beautiful! The most beautiful women on Earth! Instead of going out bashing on her, take pride in what you have! That darkskin beauty!
