When you are about to say something, measure your words. Those are the words of the wise who adds that tongue is a small body organ but can cause a calamity and, or embarrassment.
It was not out of words, but just a tweet that has caused intense inter-country twitter responses between Kenyans commonly known as Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) and Tanzanians.
Known for coming into defense and engaging in immediate online responses and ‘investigations’, KOT’s went for twitter war with their neighbors, Tanzania, after a celebrity tweet dissing Kenyans over ‘Kutoa tint‘ and high prices of basic commodities, especially Unga.
Someone tell Kenyans to move to Tanzania, Wana shida ya unga na skin color #TZvsKE
