American television news network, Cable News Network, CNN, has mocked Nigeria in its latest edition of “The Global Public Square (GPS)”, a foreign affairs show anchored on CNN by Fareed Zakaria.


Nigerian president Buhari has not been in the country for over two months and the news television in a query on its website on Sunday asked which “head of state from which country has not set foot in his homeland in over two months?”

It went ahead to tick an option with the name Nigeria as the correct answer. The options were given as Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Nigeria and Syria.


A screenshot of the mockery was tweeted by Chidi Odinkalu, Former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) who captioned it:






Reactions from Nigerians continue beneath.
