    #SomeoneTellCNN to Get outta here! That’s one of today’s trending topics.
    Barack Obama will touch down in his father’s ancestral home country this week for the first time since becoming US President, where he is expected to be greeted by his counterpart, Uhuru Kenyatta and thousands of expectant Kenyans.
    But not until Kenyans on social media have turned their guns for the second time at American cable channel, CNN after the station branded Kenya as a ‘Terror hotbed’.
    #SomeoneTellCNN is currently the No.1 trending topic on twitter and Kenyans haven’t taken the CNN’s headline branding Kenya ‘terror hotbed’ lightly, something Nigerians can easily relate with as the station not long ago identified Niger as Nigeria in one of its reports.
