Kenyan media personality Dr. Ofweneke has ignited an online debate, suggesting that academic success and modern exposure contribute to marital breakdowns, contrasting these challenges with the perceived stability of rural unions.

• Dr. Ofweneke contends that higher education increases ego and independence, complicating the “give-and-take” in modern marriages.
• He claims that marriages in the village often succeed due to simplicity and less exposure to the “noise” of the modern world, especially social media.
• The comedian also cited the “mental load” of domestic life, such as constant meal decisions, as a deterrent to his own remarriage, expressing frustration over decisions like “What are we eating today?”
