- Solomon Buchi has advised women not to equate poverty with virtue, warning that being broke does not automatically mean a man has good character, vision, or long-term potential.
- According to him, financial struggles alone should not be mistaken for moral uprightness or future success.
Social media commentator and writer Solomon Buchi has stirred discussions online following his candid views on relationships and financial status, particularly as it concerns choosing a life partner.
In a post shared on Thursday, Buchi cautioned women against romanticising poverty or assuming that a man’s lack of wealth automatically translates to good character, vision, or long-term potential. According to him, financial struggles alone should not be mistaken for moral uprightness or future success.
He wrote: “Not every broke guy is good. Not every broke guy has a great future. Not every broke guy has a vision.
Not every broke guy will make a wonderful husband. Be careful when choosing a broke guy, just as you would when trying to choose a rich guy.
Poverty is not another name for virtue.”
In other news….A video of a 19-year-old Nigerian boy selling plastic waste and cartons to raise money for work tools has gone viral on social media, drawing emotional reactions from Nigerians.
The teenager, identified as Samuel, was seen in the viral clip lifting and dropping bags of plastic waste at a collection point. He explained that each bag, filled with cartons and rubber materials, earned him between ₦1,000 and ₦2,000, which he saved towards purchasing tools needed for his tiling work.
Samuel was later approached by TikTok content creator @bayuztvs, who asked why he was involved in the waste business and who introduced him to it. The teenager revealed that he needed money to buy work tools and that his parents were unaware of what he was doing.
According to Samuel, he had learned tiling years earlier but had been unable to start working professionally due to the lack of equipment. Listing the items he needed, he said:
“Cutting machine, mallet, pitches, and knife.”
Moved by his determination, the content creator offered immediate support. Samuel was taken for a haircut, given new clothes, and treated to a meal at a restaurant. He was also surprised with one of the tiling tools he needed, a new phone, and ₦50,000 in cash.
Overwhelmed by the gesture, Samuel broke down in tears, rolled on the floor, and expressed gratitude. In the emotional moment, he also asked to see his mother, further touching viewers online.
