Dr Ofweneke urges men to start building themselves before marriage
Kenyan comedian and media personality Sande Bush, alias Dr Ofweneke, has 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 said that 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.

This follows after the comedian revealed that he is not in a rush to tie the knot.
In a video shared on his official Instagram on Thursday, August 28, 2025, Ofweneke explained that while he values relationships and family, he finds it frustrating that women often struggle to decide what to eat, leaving the burden on men even after they have worked hard to provide.
“One of the reasons I am not in a hurry to get married is the question of babe leo tutakula nini? I don’t get it. Wives never seem to know,” he said. “Imagine, I have gone out, worked hard, brought money, done the shopping, and the fridge is full. Yet I still have to decide what we are going to eat. That question makes me want to cry,” he joked.
According to Ofweneke, this daily back-and-forth over food decisions is a hidden stress in many homes, yet people rarely talk about it.
“I bring money, I buy shopping, the fridge is full, but still I am asked to decide. That is too much pressure,” he said.
