YouTuber Kabi wa Jesus has ignited mixed reactions online after a video surfaced in which he echoed sentiments previously expressed by TikToker Chebet Ronoh, who claimed that marriage only impresses fools. Ronoh’s remarks had already stirred discussion, with many married women defending the institution and sharing stories of their successful relationships, while others agreed and questioned the relevance of marriage in modern times.
In the now-viral video, Kabi elaborated on his thoughts during an event, saying:
“She is the biggest fool. My wife is a fool. It is not a joke; marriage impresses fools completely. I look at it this way, how can you not be a fool yet leave your mother’s house, meet a stranger and start loving each other, then start staying together? That is a fool. How do you trust someone so much that you give birth to his kids? Isn’t that a fool? You are a fool because how do you believe how things will turn out tomorrow?”
Kabi went on to clarify that while married people may appear foolish to outsiders, within their own world, they embody a unique kind of wisdom:
“We are wise in the kingdom, and any other person is a fool,” he added.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Critics
The video quickly drew diverse reactions from Kenyans online. Some netizens viewed Kabi’s comments as humorous or philosophical, while others took offense or expressed disbelief. Comments included:
- “I think he is being sarcastic.”
- “Ukweli husemwa kwa jokes though.”
- “At least ako honest, hafichi what is in his heart.”
- “I am shaking. Are these the jokes that are made in marriage? I rebuke.”
A Couple in the Public Eye
Kabi and his wife Milly wa Jesus are well-known for sharing content centered on faith, family, and marriage through their popular YouTube channel. The couple has previously made headlines for their openness about marital life, business ventures, and family decisions.
In an earlier conversation, Kabi revealed that he had written Milly’s name on his property’s title deed—a gesture he said was meant to secure their children’s future in case of separation. Despite the move, Kabi emphasized that divorce was not an option for them, reaffirming their shared commitment to building a lasting marriage.
Redefining Marriage in Modern Kenya
Kabi’s comments come amid an ongoing national discussion about the evolving meaning of marriage in Kenya’s digital age. His statement—part joke, part reflection—has sparked renewed debate about trust, love, and vulnerability within relationships.
While some see his remarks as a playful critique of modern expectations, others interpret them as a deeper truth about the leap of faith that marriage represents. Either way, Kabi wa Jesus has once again succeeded in stirring public thought, using humor to spark conversations about the complexity of love and partnership.
