DISRESPECT: US Company Makes Ebola T-Shirt Mocking Nigeria
A company in the US has described the current
Ebola outbreak as a ‘hip new craze’ and has
designed a souvenir T-Shirt which mocks
Nigeria.
Ebola is ravaging across West Africa leaving
destruction and death in its wake but one
American company thinks the disease is a ‘hip
new craze’ and has decided to profit from it by
selling a “Nigerian Ebola souvenir tee.”
The offending T-Shirt carries an inscription that
reads:
"I went to Nigeria, and all I got was this lousy t-
shirt and Ebola."
It was designed By MentalPoo of Salem, New
Hampshire and is being sold by Zazzle Apparel
for $25.95(N4289.53).
The product description reads:
“Hop on the hip new Ebola craze! Tell everyone
you're a world class traveler AND probably have a
deadly communicable disease with this Nigerian
souvenir tee!”
The disease, which has infected 2 Americans,
killed 9 people in Nigeria before it was contained
and the country is set to be declared officially
Ebola-free on Monday, October 20 » .
Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone are still
battling to end the scourge which has claimed
almost 4500 lives.
