Safaricom Gets Flack On Twitter For Misunderstood Text About Buni TV!

We at Ghafla know a thing or two about being berated for stories, when people have simply skimmed through. Or maybe it’s selective amnesia. Either way, people will not read everything, yet will come at you guns blazing over the most mundane of things!

Well today Safaricom went through the same for sending out a text to smartphone users. The text, was to urge people to watch Buni Tv’s new comedy Pastor Tim’s sunday sermon. Notice the word comedy. The text read, “Watch Pastor Tim’s Sunday Sermon, The Cursed Kenyan and other crazy episodes of the hilarious Buni TV Comedy Series. Simply go to www.buni.tv/comedy to enjoy”

But no, people have to vent, rant and rave, externalize, be melodramatic! There were tweets going around saying that Safaricom should know better than to advertise church services. Yes, I kid you not. I have paraphrased.

Marie Lora Mungai CEO of Buni Tv tells me that Of course, the mysterious Pastor Tim is none other than actor Nick Troy, and his “Sunday Sermon” is just the name of a series of sketch comedy clips on Buni TV.

This is what Nick aka Pator Tim had to say Pastor Tim, “I deeply apologize to those who might have been offended by my message. I love the people of Kenya very much. Nita wafanyia mapenzi tele watu wa Kenya.”

Wow, it’s never that serious people. Read about Buni Tv’s new programs here.
