HumanIPO also discovered the tweet was sent from an unconfirmed Twitter account suggesting the sender was not Kardashian who has a confirmed Twitter handle.
This is not the first time Kardashian has been be at the center of controversies in Nigeria. Similar online outrages welcomed the news of the US$500,000 fee she got from the organisers of a show she hosted for around two hours in Lagos.
