Popular comedian and MC Dr. Ofweneke has candidly discussed the emotional turmoil he experienced following the breakdown of his second marriage. In an interview, Ofweneke revealed that he had previously been married to gospel singer Nicah The Queen and had also been in a relationship with Christine.
Reflecting on his failed marriages, Ofweneke shared that he had struggled with a fear of abandonment stemming from his childhood experiences. His mother had left him when he was just one week old, and his father remarried when he was four. Growing up, Ofweneke spent time living with relatives and even working on farms.
“After it all ended I called myself for a meeting and I realised my mum left when I was one week old. Dad remarried when I was four years. Then I didn’t really grow up around dad or the mum who raised me. I came to reunite with the family when I was in class eight. All this time it was aunty, uncle, I was in the streets at some point, there’s a time i worked in people’s farms in western and Malava and everything,” he started off.
Learning from experience
These early experiences had shaped his view of relationships, leading him to hold back emotionally and fear rejection.
“I realised am a lover. When I love and embrace you. I am 100 percent. I realised sometimes I don’t give the 100 percent because am always scared that if I love you too much then you will leave. I will love you from a far because if I love you enough you will take advantage of that and leave, because if mum left so can you,” he stated.
However, Ofweneke is now determined to overcome his past and embrace love fully in his current relationship.
The comedian’s openness about his personal struggles has resonated with many, highlighting the importance of addressing emotional wounds and seeking healing.
