A simple gesture by German’s top football club Borusssia Dortmund has re-ignited a Kenyan vs Tanzanian fight on Twitter.
Borussia who thrashed Bayern Munich 3-2 in a hot a derby tweeted Marco Rues boots plated with ‘Hakuna Matata’ phrase which easily means in English- No Problems or No Problem.

The phrase which is commonly used in Kenya while welcoming tourists and foreigners to show them Kenyans are friendly was in this sense used by Borussia to mean that with their star Rues who scored two goals in the derby, there were no problems or cause to worry with him in the squad.
But overexcited fans from Kenya and Tanzania began a rare fight to show who owned the phrase.
Below are some of the heated arguments
