Misheveve: A hilarious video of a vegetable goes viral on the internet years after the chief’s crime narration

Kenyans are attempting to comprehend the meaning and origins of a recently coined term. The word “Misheveve” has been making waves in cyberspace over the past few days.

As most Kenyans attempt to understand what it means, it quickly became the most viral utterance in their mouths. Those who are already aware of its meaning have responded with a variety of hilarious memes.

“Misheveve,” a Luhya word that at first glance seems like it could be part of another sophisticated English vocabulary, suddenly went viral online over the weekend and sparked a lengthy cultural conversation.

Everything started when a news crew was given a story by a village chief in Western Kenya about the events that led up to the horrible acts that a disgruntled family member committed against his parents.

Chief Protus Wechuli Sifuna of Saboti, Trans Nzoia County, was telling the story of how a native attacked his father because he didn’t think his mother’s dinner choice that evening was all that appetizing.

That’s when he uttered the magic word “Misheveve.” He probably had no idea how many intense internet storms his word would cause years later, given how casually and frequently he said it. Wechuli vividly described the domestic conflict in the widely shared video: “The young man asked, ‘Mama umepika mboka gani leo?'” In response, the mother said, “Nimeunda misheveve.”
