Vee Iye Slams Solomon Buchi Over Comments on Toke Makinwa’s Pregnancy

Big Brother Naija star Vee Iye has come hard at social commentator Solomon Buchi after his controversial remarks about media personality Toke Makinwa, who is expecting her first child.

Buchi, in a recent video, criticized Toke for “spiritualising” her pregnancy outside wedlock, arguing that such a decision should not be celebrated by someone who identifies as a “Jesus girl.” His comments sparked mixed reactions online, with many describing them as judgmental and insensitive.

Vee, who was among those displeased, did not mince words in her response. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, she wrote:

“I genuinely believe Solomon Buchi is mad. NHS England do something please.”

Her blunt dismissal of Buchi’s views quickly gained traction, with fans applauding her for standing up against what they saw as moral policing in the name of religion.

Opinion:
This clash between Vee and Buchi reflects a bigger conversation in society: Who gets to define morality, and how much freedom should individuals have in their personal choices?

Toke Makinwa, a successful woman in her 40s, choosing motherhood on her own terms, is a testament to changing social dynamics. More women are redefining timelines and expectations around family and marriage, and for many, that is a form of empowerment worth celebrating.

On the other hand, Solomon Buchi represents a school of thought still deeply rooted in traditional values, where marriage is seen as the only “acceptable” path to parenthood. While everyone is entitled to their beliefs, the problem begins when those beliefs are projected as universal truths that shame others for making different choices.

What stands out in Vee’s clapback is the generational tone—a refusal to allow outdated moral judgments to overshadow personal happiness. Whether or not one agrees with Toke’s path, it is her life, her body, and her choice.

At the end of the day, maybe the real question Nigerians should be asking isn’t about Toke’s pregnancy, but about why we still find it so hard to let women live freely without the burden of societal double standards.
