The last time Kim Kardashian trended in Nigeria was when she made her first visit to the country for Darey's valentine concert in February. A month later, she's burning up the social trend list in Nigeria over a 'tweet' which seemed to have erupted a lot of discomfort among Nigerians.
.
How dangerous can 140 characters be? Well, when Kim K allegedly tweeted that 'Nigeria is such a disgusting country. I couldn't wait to leave. lol Scott said their women look like apes and I agree'.
.
Although the tweet was fake, 'photoshopped' by a certain @chuckicheese, it went viral in minutes with Nigerians reacting- expectedly – negatively to it. The scenario became that serious and some blogs actually fell for the expensive joke.
.
'Funniest s**t, I ALWAYS use @BET for my fake retweets but people still fall for it', @chuckicheese wrote on his Twitter last night.
.
Nigerian rapper 2shotz was one of the many Nigerians who also fell for it. 'F**k kim kardarshian.....how wld she say such about naija girls?', he wrote on his Twitter page.
.
Another fake tweet seemed to have convinced Nigerians that it was all a prank. 'I wld av replied Nigerians but i don't want to say anything and my oga at the top would say another thing', the second fake tweet read, borrowing from the recent 'Oga at the top' parodies.
.
Kim K however didn't seem fazed, exchanging pleasant tweets with her sister all through the time she was trending in Nigeria.
Nigerians are fond of jumping into conclusion when it comes to sensitive issues like this. We need to learn to be patient sometimes
The person knew how Nigeria is that is why the person tested us with it. We fell for it as usual. Naija needs prayers
