Monday, July 5, 2021 -The Nitakufinya duo has started to land advertisements with big corporate bodies thanks to their slum meme.
The duo who bitterly exchanged during a tv interview at Mukuru kwa Njenga slums back in 2014 became an online sensation when K24 replayed their clip which caught the attention of all Kenyans who have all adopted the hilarious meme. Nitakufinya is a Swahili word meaning ‘I will squeeze you’.
And during an interview on Jalang’o Tv on Monday July 5, Charles Musyoka and Aaron Matendechere for the first time appeared at peace with each other. They both called on well-wishers to help fund their lives since they have been trending but they don’t have a stable livelihood
“Hakuna kazi siwezi kufanya hata nikapata kapikipiki naweza kujisaidia nifanye bodaboda,” pleaded Musyoka.
Immediately after that request, one of the maize millers in the country quickly came on board to book the duo a Tv and banner advert.
According to Jalang’o, the two men will be paid well as other well-wishers also continued trooping in with other goodies including motorbikes.
“So, tutawatafutia wewe pikipiki yako na wewe pikipiki yako. Hio itakuwa sawa. Nikon a team wanaitwa Jahazi flour wameshakubali kufanya kazi na nyinyi na matafanya advert yao mkifinya ugali. Wanakuja hapa leo na hata hizo pikipiki mbili ni hao watawapatia,” revealed Jalang’o.
At the moment, Musyoka vends tap water around Mukuru kwa Njenga area. He also transports luggages for traders using his old makeshift cart. On the other hand, his counterpart Matendechere is barber shop owner and also runs a small salon. He is a father of nine with two wives.
Their inspiring story borrows a script from that of Mr. Charles Odongo aka Ugali Man from Ongata Rongai who was rewarded a whopping sh 5 million, a brand new car and a fully equipped training gym after his hilarious ugali eating clip went viral on social media.
