Kenyatta University ‘attacked ‘over ‘Obama spelling’ error

Kenya: News that US President Obama would visit Kenyatta University during his recent visit to Kenya couldn’t have come at a better time.

However, a spelling error on Obama’s welcoming billboard stole the focus with the picture of the billboard trending on social media hours before the American President arrived. Well, Kenyatta University was trolled by Kenyans over the spelling error.

The banner read ‘It’s a priviledge to host you sir’ with Obama’s image on it. The correct spelling should have been ‘privilege’. Social media took a toll on the university, which despite boasting a number of linguists, could not get it right when it really mattered. Despite that, KU’s website ranking shot to the top, beating University of Nairobi.
