| Modern Furniture Pacific founder Gibson Murage and Embu businesswoman Dolly Patron |
Modern Furniture Pacific founder Gibson Murage and Embu businesswoman Dolly Patron finally made up in front of a congregation at the Jesus Compassion Ministry in Nairobi after their online spat. Dolly Patron (l), who forgave Gibson Murage (r), for trolling her. Which business does Gibson Murage own? On April 21, 2024, the two clashed after a would-be harmless marketing post by Patron went South when entrepreneur Murage trolled her. Patron had requested Murage of Modern Pacific Furniture to buy her non-stick sufurias, only for him to start an unwarranted altercation. In an unexpected twist of fate, social media users rallied behind the young woman and offered to buy her merchandise. Since Murage was away in China for business, he asked to seek forgiveness in person when he arrived. Patron says she’s Murage’s top fan The two met at Muthee Kiengei’s JCM church, and Murage officially sought forgiveness from Patron. In church, the beautiful businesswoman said she got saved in October 2023 after facing challenges. She said she wouldn’t even be there if the encounter with Murage happened before she got saved. “I have been a top fan of Murage on social media, and I even have a badge. Even when his wife was bashed, I defended her. So on this particular day we trended, I wrote that comment innocently and since I had no electricity, I didn’t even pick my phone until 3 pm when I found 34 missed calls,” said Patron. “At first, I thought something had happened to my loved ones. If I wasn’t saved, I wouldn’t have agreed to forgive Murage. I thank God for you, reverend Ben, who asked me to forgive him. Murage, I forgive you, and all pastors should emulate what the reverend has done,” she added. It all became very confusing when Kiengei took the mic and told Murage to thank the lady for forgiving him. “I have accepted; I have accepted your apology. May God guide you to be who you want to be because, for me, he guided me to who I am today. At the young age of 27, even the government contacts me; so may God also guide you to achieving your dreams,” he added.
