Oga Obinna opens up on why marriage no longer appeals to him
By Valerian Khakayi, May 22, 2026Media personality Steve Thompson Maghana, alias Oga Obinna, has candidly shared his thoughts on marriage, admitting that he no longer views it as something he would easily pursue.
Speaking during an interview on Thursday, May 21, 2026, Obinna explained that while he still believes in love, companionship and taking care of a partner, marriage itself has become complicated in his eyes.
“Mimi sioni nikioa. I love love, I love to provide, and I love to protect, lakini kila mtu akae kwake mambo ya kuoa na mimi kidogo naona ni tricky,” Obinna revealed.
The media personality revealed that his past relationship experiences greatly influenced his current outlook on settling down. According to him, he has previously tried living with partners but realised marriage may not suit him.
“Nimeijaribu kuoa, I have cohabitated with a couple of individuals lakini kidogo hapo kwa kuoa,” he added.
More reasons for not marrying
The media personality has been vocal about his views on marriage; earlier he opened up about why he has no plans to remarry.
Speaking during an interview on Saturday, March 28, 2026, Obinna explained that while he is open to dating and being in a committed relationship, marriage is off the table.
He noted that his priority is the stability of his already grown-up children, who have witnessed the challenges and failures of his past relationships.
“I don’t want to get married, I will date you, I will stay with you and you will stay with me if I am making money and living what I do. But everyone stays with him. The reason is this: I already have grown-up kids and they’ve seen me try two other relationships that didn’t end well. I don’t want to put them through that trauma again,” he said.
Obinna reflected on past relationships that did not end well, noting that bringing new partners into his family space has sometimes led to toxicity.
“I already have grown-up kids, and they’ve seen me try two other relationships that didn’t work out. I don’t want to put them through that trauma again,” he added.
He emphasised that his priority is the well-being of his children and avoiding situations that could cause unnecessary conflict or stress.
“I’m not looking for a mother for my kids. If I get to find you, I want you to experience your life on your own,” he said.
“If you want a kid, we’ll plan. We’ll go to a doctor, we’ll check, and we’ll tell you the right time. But bringing someone new into my family space now? No,” he explained.
