Stop dating broke women – Solomon Buchi advices men
Olusanya Funmilayo
Nigerian writer and life coach, Solomon Buchi has advised his followers to desist from dating women who are not financially stable.
Taking to his official Twitter account on Thursday the writer stated that men should avoid women who do not like to make their own money.
He wrote: “Men, stop dating broke women. They won’t help you grow. They’ll drain you. They need money for everything, even for oxygen. They hate work, but they love soft life. Check their IG, you’ll think they’re millionaires. Avoid dating broke women, but give them jobs if you can, but they hate working though. So it’s a lose-lose case.”
Buchi’s article drew largely female criticism, both constructive and negative, as they emphasized that being broke and productive is different from being broke and lazy.
See the reactions:
@successib said: “What is your definition of broke?? Imagine having a girlfriend in medical school who cannot survive without your support. It’s just a temporary situation and u cannot tell us not to support them because they are broke.”
@jenny_innocent wrote: “There is a thin line between broke and laziness. What you analysed are attributes of lazy women. Being broke doesn’t automatically mean one is lazy.”
@EvelynFolu said: “Forgive me @Solomon_Buchi , it’s not broke women, it’s lazy women. There are broke women who are hardworking but their jobs ain’t commensurate. Too many mouths to feed but would never bill a guy for money or even accept money from their boyfriend even if you put a knife.”

@AgboolaBukolaS1 stated: “But ma @EvelynFolu I don’t think any woman that can pay her own bills should be classified as broke, tho she might not have a car, a house, or even afford to buy herself a wig but she is living within her income. I don’t think that should be called broke.”
@joeinstein wrote: “Wo, Buchi, we’re all broke in this Nigerian right now. I do 9-5, still have my errand business and I’m not in the present “average/comfort” set of Nigerians. Stop feeding people audacious takes abeg!”
Earlier this year Buchi received backlash from his followers after he posted a message about his fiancée not being the most beautiful or intelligent.
The post reads: “You’re not the most beautiful woman; neither are you the most intelligent woman, but I’ve chosen to never find perfection in anyone else. I put my gaze on you, and with that commitment, we would mold ourselves for ourselves. Our perfection is in our commitment.”
Despite being criticized, Buchi doubles up on his rhetoric insisting his woman knows what he meant, and he will block everyone who disagrees or insults him.
It gets worse for him when his caption moves from the Nigerian coast and is posted on TheShadeRoom, a well-known Instagram account in the US.
Eloswag, a former contestant on Big Brother Naija Season 7, has broken his silence following the release of his private video online.
The reality star reportedly uploaded a clip featuring himself and an unidentified woman on his Snapchat account at approximately 3 a.m. on Sunday.
Though Eloswag swiftly deleted the video, it had already caught the attention of the internet.
The explicit content quickly gained traction after being reposted by the controversial gossip blog, Gistlover, sparking widespread conversations across social media platforms.
In response to the incident, Eloswag took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his frustration and consider possible legal action.
In a now-deleted post, he wrote, “I mistakenly posted a video on my Snapchat by 3am and deleted it immediately, guess who has the video? GISTLOVER? How? Please, can I sue? Because it doesn’t make sense.”

The reality star’s reaction highlights the challenges celebrities face when intimate content finds its way online.
While some supporters have shown empathy, others have engaged in heated debates about the responsibility of public figures in handling their digital content.
Eloswag’s predicament places him alongside other Nigerian celebrities who have dealt with similar scandals, such as Moyo Lawal, Tiwa Savage, Oxlade, and James Brown, whose private videos have previously surfaced online.
Legal experts have weighed in on Eloswag’s potential case, noting that while pursuing legal action against individuals or platforms that share such content can be complex, it is not impossible.
The development has reignited discussions on digital privacy and the ethical responsibilities of content-sharing platforms.
As Eloswag’s fans and critics await further updates, the incident underscores the precarious nature of online privacy and the far-reaching consequences of a single momentary lapse.

Adetshina arrived in Mexico last month to prepare for the competition and has since captured widespread attention.
However, her path to Miss Universe has been marked by challenges.
Initially competing as Miss Taraba in Miss Universe Nigeria, she withdrew from the Miss South Africa pageant following online backlash regarding her nationality and accusations of fraud by the South African Home Office.
This setback, however, did not deter her ambitions.
Her current standing as a top pick underscores her growing international recognition and support, positioning her as a formidable contender ahead of the competition.
Many have taken to social media to voice their support, with some declaring her Nigeria’s best chance yet to secure the Miss Universe crown.
