Dr Ofweneke faults firstborns for being strict and quick to anger with siblings

Comedian and TV host Dr Ofweneke has criticised firstborn children for the strictness and anger they often display in their relationships with siblings.

Speaking in a video on Instagram on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, Ofweneke questioned why firstborns, despite being caring and attentive, can switch from affection to anger so quickly.

“But firstborns, let us be honest here. Why are we always so angry? Why can we not just let love happen? Why does our love for our siblings come with so much anger? I do not get it,” Ofweneke said.

Ofweneke highlighted the seeming contradiction in firstborns’ behaviour, noting how one moment they may be thoughtful, buying gifts or showing care for their siblings, while the next they may lash out with extreme harshness.

He asked why this pattern persists and urged firstborns to reflect on their approach, wondering aloud why they are always so strict and intense in family interactions.

“One moment you are so in love with a sibling, caring for them and buying things for them, and the next minute you are lashing out like hell,” he added.

He emphasised that sibling relationships should be filled with love and patience, rather than unnecessary anger, pointing out that the pressures of being a firstborn should not come at the expense of warmth and understanding.

“Firstborns, what are your problems? Why are we always so strict?”

Advice to men

The take by the comedian, born Sande Bush, comes just days after he called on men to focus on building their lives before settling down in marriage.

Speaking on his radio show on Monday night, September 1, 2025, Ofweneke cautioned men against postponing their dreams and ambitions until after marriage.

Ofweneke, who often uses his platform to blend humour with life lessons, emphasised that preparation and self-growth before marriage are key to avoiding unnecessary struggles later in life.

“Men, stop waiting for marriage to start building yourself,” Ofweneke urged men.

Additionally, he urged men to stop waiting until marriage to pursue their dreams, saying they should not delay buying their first car, returning to university, or expanding their businesses, but instead start building their lives now while they can.

“Wanaume wacheni kungoja ndoa ndio ununue gari yako ya kwanza, wacha kungoja ndoa ndio urudi kwa masomo ya university, wacha kungoja ndoa ndio u expand biashara, stop waiting for marriage before pursuing your dreams, start pursuing your dream now when you can,” he added.
