Solomon Buchi, has once again captured the public’s attention with his statement on banning phone from his kids till they’re 18. According to Buchi, hims and his wife have made a resolute decision: their children will not be handed unrestricted access to a phone. This decision stems from a growing concern about the potentially detrimental effects of early phone usage exposure on children’s core values.
Buchi believes that many children today are exposed to phones at an early age, a trend that can often breed a sense of entitlement and undesirable behavior. He goes further to suggest that the early introduction of smartphones and unrestricted access to the internet has played a significant role in the moral and psychological challenges that this generation faces.
To cement his concerns, Buchi and his wife, Arike are planning a unique home environment. Their vision includes a home library to cultivate a love for reading, a music studio to nurture musical talents, and a painting studio to foster creativity. The objective is to engage their children in activities that don’t center around phone or internet usage.
Recall that Kemi Filani had reported that Solomon Buchi had critiqued a video featuring renowned musician Davido dancing with school children in uniform. Buchi argued that the song’s lyrics were inappropriate and questioned the suitability of such interactions with young children. His comments generated a diverse range of reactions, with some labeling him overly critical while others agreed with his perspective.
Moreover, also recall that Buchi has expressed his thoughts on traditional gender roles. In a prior statement, he expressed the belief that submission in a relationship should not be mutual. Instead, he contended that a man should submit to God, while a wife should submit to her husband. This perspective, which is at odds with contemporary notions of partnership and equality in marriage, sparked a lot of discussions.
Buchi’s views on marriage have been a long standing one. He recently challenged the widely-held belief that men do women a favor by marrying them, emphasizing that marriage should be based on equality and partnership, rather than one party exercising dominance.
