Don’t Google Makmende, Google is still searching for Makmende. The world is not ending because Makmende killed The Antichrist. Barack Obama has just one referee on his CV — Makmende. Michael Joseph of Safaricom gets “okoa jahazi” from Makmende.

These are just some of the one-line phrases that have dominated the Internet over the last two weeks as Kenyans compete to come up with the most fantastic claims about Makmende.

The Makmende phenomenon has hit in a big way on social sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Some users have added the name Makmende to their own identities. The mystery character described as Kenya’s first viral super hero has even found a place on Wikipedia, the free online encyclopaedia.

Makmende has a website (www.makmende.com) that is arguably one of the most visited by Kenyan Internet users, and clearly the fastest growing fan base on Facebook and Twitter. The biggest accolade night be that within the past fortnight, as the phenomenon has exploded, anti-Makmende pages have come up on the Internet.
