British Airways has been left with egg on their face when it became apparent that they cannot or do not know how to Google.

Their inflight magazine stated that Oscar winning actress Lupita Nyong'o is a citizen of Wakanda.

Wakanda is a fictional kingdom in a new movie with black super heros called Black Panther.

The worst part was that the magazine published a photo collage of celebrities they believe will make 2018’s best-dressed list and relatively less famous models and rappers were accurately described right down to their hometowns.

Yaani, si wangegoogle tuu?

Note to British Airways: There is no place like Wakanda in Africa.

Kenyans reacted to this.

Larry Madowo: British Airways thinks Kenyan star Lupita Nyong'o is from the made up nation of Wakanda. BA flies daily to Nairobi 🤦‍♂️

Eric Mugendi: Wow... British Airways thinks Wakanda is a real African country, and Lupita Nyong'o is from there.

Joni kiarie: But they know elephants and Lions are in Kenya

Patrick Munyi‏ tweeted All Kenyans come from a Magical place

Francis Doku‏Verified: People think Wakanda is a real country and Lupita Nyong'o is from there? Just like people think Zemuda was a real African with a lavish King.

@wambu_symon: Where is that nation? I wanna go n live there with her. This election madness is getting out of hand and l can't handle it no more

Maasai Max:‏ I sometimes fail to understand how Europeans mastered to colonise us!

Carlo Kutesa:‏ I kinda took it to mean that she's so awesome, she's not Lupita Nyong'o anymore. She has become her Black Panther character. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Patto M‏: They watch too much movies...otherwise would have written country of Africa

damaris‏: I think if we really put our minds to it, we shall find a Wakanda here in this country Africa.
