@newfarer.. maybe im not updated somehow but hii makmende ndio nini?

You ask Makmende who he is n he tells you who you are!!!!

Okay Makmende is the rage right now! Have you seen the video of the Kenyan superhero?
And it's a perfect example of the power of brand and testament that now social media is effective in Kenya!

Earliest reference (site, twitter, facebook) I see of this phenomena is definitely not older than 1 week but it's the new big deal:
--3,130 results on google
--7,382 facebook fans
--10,000 views on youtube
--leading trending Kenyan topic on Twitter

For once I had no clue what the fuss was all about, thanks @Muganda

Makmende is the guy who rubs his book when the teacher rubs the black board. Makmende does n't use power tab in his mosquito net he just presses tab on his computer. Hehehehe.

4. Nobody knows what would happen if Chuck Norris and Makmende met, but one thing is for sure: Makmende would still be standing.

@Akowally,

Enjoy.

@bree & aemathenge - roger that. I'm getting pretty fed up with this makmende stuff especially given the lack of originality inherent in the one liners attributed to this so called urban legend.


Just for clarity it is simply a music video on YouTube - these rephrased one liners (drawn from funny facts abt Jack Bauer, Chuck Norris, etc) seem to be a way to make the video viral - or perhaps as part of a online cum social experiment. It could also be a strategy by the producers of the video prior to releasing to TV stations.....

So, here we are regurgitating and regurgitating what others have regurgitated - only a few people will benefit. if it was news of a scandal exposed, I'd not complain....

Can people NOT sit down and think of something original? I recall we had Big Ben, Son of Samson and the cartoon detective series by Paul Kelemba - that was original.

I'm near the point of throwing up seeing all these makmende updates on facebook.

Can someone perhaps talk to a few local computer animators, publishers, writers, etc and come up with a REAL animated series/cartoon/movie based on a LOCAL or African book? (moses and ghost series, Truphena, etc etc) Sell to a TV station the rights, pay the publisher, etc etc....

Whoever is getting sucked into this senseless vortex needs to :
1) grow a brain
2) get a life...

Sorry, buts thats how I feel...
