        @BBCAfrica It didn't cause offense. It was offensive. Dont use that childish non-apology to avoid responsibility. Grow up & be professional.

        @BBCAfrica after it caused offence, not because it wasn't factual. Thanks for the clarity

        @BBCAfrica Also, thinking 'offence' was the only reaction to ur tweet infantilises people who have valid criticisms of your thought pattern.
