Solomon Buchi, a prominent media figure and life coach, has come under fire for a recent pregnancy photoshoot where he was seated while his pregnant wife, Arike, stood beside him. The couple, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their child, shared the photos on Solomon’s Instagram account.
In the photo that sparked controversy, Solomon is seen seated in an open field while his pregnant wife stands behind him. Social media users expressed strong disapproval, criticizing Solomon for not standing alongside his wife during the photoshoot.
One commenter, @noty4yi, expressed their dissatisfaction, stating: “your heavily pregnant wife is standing under a hot sun and you were sitting down, no atom of sympathy for someone carrying your child.”
Reactions poured in:
- @_omoagba: “Congratulations to you and your wife. I don’t know why people just shell Solomon all the time. If the pregnant wife was sitting down, the picture wouldn’t come out nice. The pregnant female form is best captured standing to show the protrusion…”
- @Nigmarelli: “It’s a photo shoot for probably just a few minutes or so! How do you guys know she isn’t the one who chose to stand? Na wa for una for this space o na real wa for una!”
- @_iRight: “How dare you sit and watch a pregnant woman stand, you are a misogynist”
- @ManlikeMikeey: “Why are u the one seating and your heavily loaded wife is standing?”
