Comedian Njugush’s attempt at promoting Equity Bank’s school fee payment services received negative feedback on Twitter.
In the video, Njugush praised the bank for providing a stress-free experience for parents but received criticism for not understanding the emotions and thoughts of the people present, especially in determining what would be appropriate or inappropriate to say.
The comedian deleted the video after the negative response.
In the deleted video, Njugush, dressed in a school uniform and filmed from Meru County, highlighted the convenience of paying fees through Equity Bank.
Despite his efforts, the video left a bad taste in the mouths of his audience, and this is what they had to say;
😅😅 mumefanyia nini Njugush aki. Sijui Equity watawai recover aje kwa hii app woiye. How can they fumble on the one app that really matters when it comes to opinions.

This is Njugush pushing a gig by Equity Bank. #KOT went to his comment section and he had to turn it off. With over 2.1 Million followers,this is the first time in a very long time his post can't get even 1000 likes.

Equity Bank recently advised its customers to be cautious of potential fraudsters and to follow certain safety measures when using the bank’s app.
In a letter addressed to its customers, the bank warned against sharing personal information, including account numbers, passwords, and OTPs with anyone.
“Do not share personal data such as your account number, card/CW, ID number, date of birth, etc with anyone. Do not share your pin, password, or OTP with anyone including your family, relatives, or friends. Do not engage fraudsters on call or sms. Equity will only call you through 0763 000 000.” A statement from the bank read.
The financial service provider also urged its clients against giving their phones, laptop, or computer to strangers, including those who purport to be from telcos.
