Makmende will never have a heart attack. His heart isn't nearly foolish enough to attack him...smile

@Member

The 1970’s themed video, directed by Jim Chuchu and Mbithi Masya, features a mean, ass-kicking character known as Makmende (played by Kevin “K1”Maina) who has been all the rage on Twitter this week. A lot of people have been wondering who the hell Makmende is. Well, that depends on your age and where you grew up. Makmende was a term used way back in the early to mid 1990s to refer to someone who thinks he’s a superhero. For example, if a boy who’s watched one too many kung-fu movies on TV decides to unleash his newly acquired combat skills, he would be asked “Unajidai Makmende, eh?” (Who do you think you are, Makmende?) Trust me, there was a Makmende in every hood!

Okay Makmende is the rage right now! Have you seen the video of the Kenyan superhero? Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly
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

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.
