Kenyan internet sensation and comedian Elsa Majimbo has once again ignited conversation online with her thoughts on marriage.
On X, she wrote: “The person you marry determines your misery or happiness.”
The statement quickly drew thousands of reactions.
While some fans agreed, praising her insight, others questioned her experience.

One advised, “I think this is too generalised. Life throws everybody lemons. The spouse that was dependable in a good season may surprise you and change not because they are not good but because they can’t or don’t know how to make lemonade”
Another asked, “Umekuwa mshauri wa ndoa mtoto wetu?”
This isn’t the first time Majimbo has shared bold opinions on relationships.
Earlier this year, she advised young women against getting pregnant, saying it could “ruin their lives,” and encouraged them to focus on independence and personal goals first, a message that sparked both praise and criticism.
Taking to her platform, the outspoken influencer shared a strongly-worded post that quickly went viral.
She wrote, “Don’t get pregnant. It’ll ruin your life. Don’t get pregnant. It’ll ruin your life, ladies. I beg you, DO NOT GET PREGNANT.”
The statement sparked a wave of reactions, with thousands of comments flooding in, many criticising her views as offensive and misguided.
Critics argued that childbirth is widely seen as a blessing, particularly in African culture, where motherhood holds deep traditional value.
Known for her sharp humor and candid takes on life, Majimbo often speaks about self-worth, independence, and relationships.
Her latest post reflects the same, with her tweet having reignited a broader conversation about the importance of making thoughtful relationship choices.
