In a bold and unapologetically humorous post that has since sparked fresh waves of debate across social media, Nigerian writer and life coach Solomon Buchi, known for his razor-sharp takes on relationships, masculinity, and culture, has taken aim once again at a familiar target—what he describes as the “bitter leaf FC,” a nickname he humorously ascribes to radical online feminists. This time, he didn’t do it alone. In a now-viral post, Buchi and his wife, Arike Adeola, delivered a satirical portrayal of how they believe online feminists perceive their marriage, and let’s just say, it was as exaggerated as it was entertaining.

The post, captioned “This is how bitter leaf FC AKA online feminists have convinced themselves that we live. #Satire,” featured a video that dramatically reenacted a fictional version of their relationship—one completely controlled by Solomon, where Arike is voiceless, subservient, and oppressed. From Solomon barking out orders like a tyrant to Arike’s overdone, robotic compliance, the skit played out like a parody of every criticism the couple has ever received from feminist corners of the internet. And though it was presented with a comedic edge, the message behind it was sharp: the narrative around their marriage has been hijacked and misrepresented by online critics who, in their view, project personal frustrations onto their relationship.

Reactions, as expected, came pouring in. The video instantly gained traction, especially among Nigerian Twitter and Instagram communities, with supporters hailing the couple for daring to take a stand and critics accusing them of mocking important conversations around gender roles. “Solomon Buchi is giving satirical Nollywood and I love it,” one fan commented, while another wrote, “This is the most unserious serious couple I know, and it works.”

But beyond the laughter and theatrics lies a deeper context. Solomon Buchi has been the subject of feminist backlash since his public declarations of love to Arike last year—particularly the now-infamous post where he stated that while his wife was not the most beautiful or most intelligent woman in the world, he had chosen to love her nonetheless. While many praised his honesty, others dragged him mercilessly, claiming the statement was demeaning and reflective of patriarchal thinking. From then on, the couple's relationship became a lightning rod for critiques around modern marriage, submission, and the dynamics of power in romantic partnerships.

And Solomon hasn’t exactly shied away from the drama. Instead, he’s taken on the role of a cultural provocateur, often delivering content that both challenges and mocks what he sees as extremist ideologies. With this latest satire, he seems to be saying: "You think we’re living in the 1800s? Fine. Here’s what that would actually look like."

Arike, ever the graceful partner in these online adventures, has remained by his side, seemingly unfazed by the noise. In fact, her involvement in the satire sent a strong signal—she's not just passively accepting the narrative built around her by strangers online. She’s actively dismantling it, on her own terms. It’s a form of digital resistance that reclaims agency and humor in a space often dominated by outrage.

Still, the conversation this video ignites isn’t just about satire or social media commentary. It speaks to a larger cultural clash playing out in real time—the tension between traditional values and modern feminist ideals in Nigerian society. While some see Solomon and Arike as a representation of a healthy, loving marriage built on mutual understanding and shared beliefs, others see them as emblematic of a regressive model that reinforces outdated gender norms.

And then there’s the question of intent. Satire, by its nature, is meant to provoke thought and reflection, often by exaggerating truths to expose hypocrisies. Critics, however, argue that satire can sometimes punch down rather than up, trivializing real struggles under the guise of humor. For some, Buchi’s skit might have felt like a dismissal of legitimate feminist concerns about autonomy, equality, and toxic masculinity.

But whether you love or loathe Solomon Buchi, one thing is clear: he knows how to spark a conversation. And in the age of algorithms, where attention is currency and virality is power, that’s a skill few can master. He’s not just a writer or a husband—he’s a social commentator using performance to make a point, drawing battle lines between opposing worldviews and daring everyone to engage.

The comment sections under the video have become digital warzones of their own, with fans dropping laughing emojis and fire symbols while critics launch into paragraphs decrying the dangers of Buchi’s ideology. “The fact that some people actually believe this is how women should live is terrifying,” one Instagram user wrote. “This is not satire; this is propaganda.” Others, however, applauded the couple for not backing down. “Solomon and Arike are living rent-free in the heads of people who can’t stand a different worldview,” a supporter countered.

Whether the couple intended to start a culture war or simply poke fun at their haters, the result is the same: their post has further cemented their place in the ongoing dialogue about love, gender, and society in the digital age. It’s not just about them anymore. It’s about the battle over narratives—who controls them, who believes them, and who’s allowed to rewrite them.

As the debate rages on, Solomon Buchi and Arike seem unbothered. They continue to live and love publicly, embracing the heat that comes with being a couple that defies conventional internet expectations. And with each post, each clapback, and each skit, they’re not just defending their marriage—they’re reshaping what it means to be unapologetically yourself in a world that’s always watching.

In the end, maybe that’s the point of it all. Satire or not, they’ve made it clear: they refuse to be defined by assumptions, especially not from the “bitter leaf FC.”
