Social commentator Solomon Buchi has stirred heated debate online following his response to criticism surrounding the wedding of Nigerian actor Jide Kene Achufusi and his wife, Ifeoma, which recently took place in Italy.
The actor and his Nigerian-American bride held their white wedding in Milan, where they exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony before celebrating with family and friends at a lively reception.
However, shortly after photos and videos from the event surfaced online, the couple became the subject of harsh commentary on social media. Some users made negative remarks about the bride’s appearance and questioned the actor’s decision in choosing her as a partner.
Among the widely circulated comments were claims such as, “Them force am marry the girl?” while another user wrote, “The wife looks like James Brown, abi my eyes no dey see well.” Others simply expressed shock, saying, “Handsome men with their choice sha.”
Reacting to the online backlash, Solomon Buchi condemned the nature of the comments and criticized what he described as toxic behavior among some Nigerian women. He expressed strong disapproval of the trend, suggesting that such reactions reflect bitterness and unnecessary hostility toward other women’s relationships.
