#KenyaVsNigeria: Olunloyo ignites Twitter squabble after calling out Kenyans
Controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has ignited an “unhealthy” squabble on Twitter after she described some Kenyan Twitteratti as “illiterates who writes in Akuna Matata language”.
The 54-year old who never fails to use derogatory terms to describe her perceived “haters” also called out Victoria Kimani, a popular female artiste from Kenya.
“#KenyavsNigeria Kenyans?? are so full of pride because of their animal safari location mentality. A whole Beyonce trying to revive her career chose 5 Nigerian artists for #brownskingirls #LionKing track. Simba and Nala don’t know you. How market Victoria Kimani?
“Kenyans pls WRITE your tweets in ENGLISH. I dislike illiterates. This your Akuna Matata language is unreadable. I read all tweets,” she wrote.
Olunloyo said Kenyans are full of pride and claimed that Nairobi, Kenya’s capital city is a dangerous city.

Olunloyo further said that Kenyan Defence Forces need to pay more attention to terror whispers and claimed that Universities in Kenya “don’t provide adequate security”.
“Nairobi is a very dangerous city. After what happened to my relatives at the US embassy 1998, I wrote a letter piece to @TIME magazine. Their country did NOT protect the most powerful embassy in the world. All they boast about is a Kenyan American being president #KenyavsNigeria.
“The bombing of the US embassy will never be forgotten as the Kenyans constantly let terrorists infiltrate Nairobi. My audio newscast of #Westgate was archived. I will bring them out today. I was the only Journalist who covered from Nigeria in-depth via @kdfinfo spokesman.
“Nobody in their right mind should ENTER Nairobi. After Westgate, they had Dusit. Nairobi has never learned their lesson. Kenya’s greed lies around tourism. Wanna see a lion, get to a zoo. The real lions are the terrorists who hire ignorant Kenyan youth to join the terror cells.
“The @kdfinfo need to pay more attention to terror whispers, something that prevented me from attending many events in Nairobi. It’s Somali provenance & ideological affiliation with al-Qa`ida, and its growing cohort of trained, experienced East African fighters looms daily #Kenya.
“Garissa University attack 2015 took ~149 lives. Imagine your child gunned down in their hostel by Al-Shabaab militants. Universities in Kenya don’t provide adequate security. That case alone underestimates the @kdfinfo but is that their job? Police in Kenya is almost non-existent, Olulonyo’s tweets reads in part.
Her tweets have since degenerated into a heated argument with Kenyan’s and Nigerians’s locking horns with words.
Some media outlets also “ripped out” Olunloyo by noting that the 54-year-old was deported from Canada after being determined a flight risk when her refugee visa was not renewed.
Some further added that Olunloyo was remanded into custody at Vanier Centre for Women, a female maximum prison, for seven days before she was deported to Nigeria.
However, some Nigerians urged Kenyans to disregard Olunloyo’s tweets saying she has a Post-traumatic stress disorder, (PTSD) a mental health condition triggered by a terrifying event.

Ma’ you uploaded a video on YouTube about wanting donations for your PCSD treatment, seems like you got the treatment, or maybe, it’s gotten worse, how about you concern yourself with your own health and not the attacks in our country…?

This is the Best Country I have lived and known. Kenya is a God chosen nation. It is a beautiful country with awesome people. Terrorism knows no safe place, if God will not protect our nation, then the soldiers & watchmen will keep vigil in vain. @HNNAfrica kindly stop hatred.

You woman, you need to be investigated…you are a terrorist sympathizer, you must be aiding terrorism activities across. I think we need to counter heck your records why you were deported from Canada , your sentiments shows broadly that you have direct support to terrorism

There’s no point in #KenyavsNigeria. This intellectually stunted bag of bones has been disowned by Nigerians and she’s just seeking attention.

I’m sorry ma’am, but you’re simply not worth it. Not our bundles, our attention & most of all our online time. Yours is clearly a personal vendetta against the beautiful nation of Kenya!

So, in 1998, 21 yrs ago, you were writing the Times. Now I understand, hot flushes are what is itching you. Kindly enjoy your menopause in private and stop making it an international affair

One would imagine that at your age, attention seeking is the last thing you would be thinking of. Carry on. pic.twitter.com/400ny2PAfi
