CNN Faces Social Media Backlash As They Mistakenly Label Niger As Nigeria

It was an obvious error from the Cable News Network(CNN) Yesterday when a report was aired concerning the spread of the Ebola virus in Western Africa and according to them there were 1,603 cases, 887 deaths and 55% fatality rate. 

To highlight the countries affected including Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, and to close the list they “accidentally” labelled Niger as Nigeria while using the colour red to highlight the country. 

This costly mistake has triggered a social media with Nigerians stating their mind...I wonder if we are so unpopular being the giant of West Africa they still had to make such error, But trust Nigerians to protest...see tweets below.
