On a recent episode of 'Wicked Edition' on NTV, radio presenter Andrew Kibe opened up about a painful experience in his life. The outspoken media personality revealed how the woman he was supposed to marry died, leaving behind a child.

During the discussion with Dr Kingori, Kibe shared his thoughts on why men often struggle to cope with the loss of their spouses, and how some may move on quickly. He recalled the day his partner passed away, saying:

'The woman I thought would be my wife died and left behind a baby. She left us with 1 kid, so what was I to do? When men’s wives pass on they move on, you cannot stop a train from moving. My feelings never stopped moving.'

When asked about the pressure put on couples by societal expectations, particularly the promise to stick together 'Till death do you part', Kibe shared his thoughts:

'We are putting people under so much pressure with wedding stories.'

Andrew Kibe is a single man known for his outspoken views, which have earned him both love and hate from his audience. While some appreciate his honesty, others criticize him for being too arrogant.
