Kenyan media personality Dr. Ofweneke has ignited debate after urging women to consider their own roles in unhappy or failed marriages. Speaking on his evening show at Radio 47, the comedian and radio host asked women to reflect on their choices in entering relationships that ultimately turned sour.
Call for Accountability and Positivity
“To women who are bitter in marriage, can you take responsibility for allowing yourself to enter into a bad marriage?” Dr. Ofweneke asked during the live broadcast. The statement quickly went viral, sparking conversations across social media platforms, including X and TikTok. Some praised the media personality for his candidness, while others criticized him for appearing insensitive to women facing difficult marital circumstances.
Dr. Ofweneke, whose real name is Sande Bush, emphasized that bitterness and resentment can deepen emotional pain and prevent healing. He argued that labeling partners as “fake” or “useless” after breakups often reflects unresolved hurt rather than objective truth. He encouraged both men and women to process their experiences thoughtfully, avoiding projections of pain onto others.
Mixed Public Reactions
Supporters lauded Dr. Ofweneke for promoting self-reflection and accountability in relationships. One fan commented, “For the first time, someone has spoken my mind… that’s true.” Conversely, critics argued that his advice failed to fully consider women trapped in abusive or manipulative marriages, suggesting the message could have been delivered with more sensitivity.
