It's been over a decade since the infamous 'Ntakufinya' video clip went viral on social media, but the two men at the center of the controversy have finally found a silver lining. In a surprising turn of events, a flour milling company has offered them an ambassadorial job to market their products.
Asiiba Matendechere and Charles Musyoka, the two men who were at the center of the viral video, were reunited on Jalango TV on Monday for a conversation about their infamous confrontation. The video, which was shot by K24 TV in 2011, showed Asiiba warning Charles about electricity matters in Nairobi's Mukuru Kwa Njenga slum.
Fast forward to 2021, the two men have put their differences aside and are now friends. In fact, they have even been offered a motorbike each by their host, Felix Odiwour, alias Jalng'o, to boost their income.
Asiiba also made a heartfelt request to those who have printed t-shirts over the incident, asking them to share the proceeds of their sales with them. He said, 'Wale wame print T-shirts na pia Kampuni ambazo zinatumia picha yangu, atleast wakuwe wanatutumia kitu (Those who have printed t-shirts, plus companies that are using our images, should be considerate and give us a share of their earnings).'
