    But on a serious note...the mistakes CNN make this days are really flimsy and stupid. Makes me think whether it's done on purpose so pple could talk about it and spread their news...

    Wats going on in Kenya tho and in the country's capital for that matter? That doesn't look good at all..... Wateva movement is about to establish it's roots like the BH sect did here should be cut off before it gets out of hand...
    RIP to those young souls and I pray those pple responsible are caught and dealt with in no time.

  99. Can u imagine, rubbish CNN, I didn't know until one of my co- worker told me about it. He was like K did u hear about the killing of 50 people and kidnapping of 500 student in Africa is that boko Haram,again? I was like huh! I told him D not again. I went to Google search and told him, Kenya not Nigeria. He was like my bad, I was like it is not yur fault ooo. It is conversation. Rubbish guy, I don't talk 2 my male co-workers. I keep it professional. Guessing it was that, or he was just stupid to have asked me that stupid question. How is Kenya I n Nigeria again. We all need to pray for Africa, that God Almighty should help us.

  100. When you hear about terrorism in Africa
    The first country that comes to the mind
    is Nigeria.
    Anyways, am sure its a mistake but this is not CNN's first time,
    mostly when it has to do with Terror issues
    They should better check well before broadcast.
