Comedian Sande Bush Popularly known as Dr. Ofweneke sought to clarify that he is not Nigerian and he has never been to Nigeria.
Appearing on Bonga Na Jalas, the funnyman mentioned that over the years, people used to believe that he originates from Nigeria due to his accent when speaking English.
“I think am tired (of the Nigerian accent), you know I have never been to Nigeria, and maybe unfortunately I have never wished to go to Nigeria.
Clint the Drunk as told me so many times, why can’t you come and do your show here, but I don’t feel am ready, then am at a point where I feel like I should hang my boots as well… but I have never been to Nigeria. Actually I don’t think I have ever been on the upper side of Africa” said Dr. Ofweneke.
He went on to narrate that he was born in Nairobi but along the way his family moved to Kakamega where he was brought up.
“Dr. Ofweneke is actually Sande Bush Oyolo, son to David Oyolo Walukhome and the late Jennifer Otieno. She did her better part of giving birth to me and when her contract was done, a week after my birth she left. Then two years late my father remarried an amazing beautiful woman I call mom until today Mrs. Lillian Oyolo, huyo sasa ndo amenilea” explained Dr. Ofweneke.
During the Interview, Ofweneke said that at some point he attempted to commit suicide while staying at his uncle’s place in Malava.
