Dr Ofweneke warns those extending club-hopping behaviour to the village
Content creator Dr Ofweneke has cautioned revellers who carry excessive drinking habits from Nairobi to their rural homes during the festive season, warning that such behaviour undermines family values and responsibilities.
Through a video shared on his Instagram account on Monday, December 29, 2025, Ofweneke said Christmas should be a time for reconnecting with family, understanding life back home and appreciating the sacrifices made by parents, rather than moving from one party to another as if nothing has changed.

He argued that many people make the mistake of treating the village the same way they treat the city, especially when it comes to alcohol and nightlife.
“Wouza! Na ujue the worst mistake you can do ni kukuja ocha kufanya the same thing ulikuwa unafanya Nairobi,” Ofweneke said.
Ofweneke cautions village partying
In the video, Ofweneke criticised individuals who drink excessively in Nairobi and continue the same routine once they travel upcountry for Christmas.
“Hauwezi unaishi Nairobi na dunda 24/7, halafu ukikuja shags unaingia sherehe,” he said, adding that such behaviour denies families the opportunity to reconnect.
He noted that many people fail to spend time with their parents once they return home, choosing parties over meaningful conversations.
“Haujaspend time na buda na mathaa, haujui nini inafanyika kwa shamba, haujaangalia venye vitu zinaendelea around,” he remarked.
According to Ofweneke, going back home should involve understanding family challenges, farm activities and the emotional state of parents who may have been struggling quietly throughout the year.
Calls for responsibility
The comedian also touched on parenting responsibilities, saying it is unfair for people to leave their children behind in the city and then waste time partying while in the village.
“You don’t even know how mothers have been feeling all the time,” he said. “Ukue umelewa Nairobi 24/7, ukuje ocha na kwenu unalewa 24/7.”
Ofweneke further criticised men who leave mothers to raise children alone, only to return home and avoid spending time with them.
“Wale madem waliachia wazee wazae watoto wenu, Nairobi uko na excuse uko mbali, na sasa ukuje ushago usispend time, ni mamako anakuchungia mtoi,” he stated.
His remarks resonated with many social media users, with some praising him for addressing an issue that often goes unspoken during the festive season.
Others admitted that Christmas visits sometimes turn into extended partying, leaving families feeling neglected.
Ofweneke urged Kenyans to use the holiday period to rebuild family bonds, show appreciation to parents and take responsibility, saying villages should be spaces for reflection, not extensions of city nightlife.
