Twitter Mistakenly Labels Norwegian Leaders As Nigerian Govt Officials

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt, and her ministry were all identified as Nigerian government officials or institutions on Tuesday.

“Dear @TwitterSupport, as much as we enjoy our excellent bilateral relations and close alphabetical vicinity with Nigeria, we would much appreciate if you could label us as Norway,” the foreign ministry wrote in a tweet, followed by a winking emoji.

The confusion has caused users of the social network to laugh.

“So it’s actually been Norwegians all along that keep sending everyone those letters about a dead prince and advance fees,” wrote one person in reference to fraudulent “Nigeria letters”.

“Norgeria?” mused another.

The error had not been corrected more than three hours after the Norwegian Foreign Ministry requested it.
