Roberta Edu Slams Solomon Buchi, Urges Women to Avoid 'Lazy Men Who Bring Shame

Roberta Edu, founder of Moppet Foods, has advised career-driven women to steer clear of men like social media commentator Solomon Buchi. Her comments came in response to Buchi's controversial post urging men to avoid “career-obsessed feminist women.”

Clapping back, Roberta urged women to avoid what she described as “lazy men,” arguing that such men often bring nothing but shame and embarrassment to their families.

“A hardworking man doesn’t have time to meddle in the affairs of other people’s wives,” she said. “He focuses on his work and provides for his household.”

She went further, referring to Solomon Buchi as a “house husband” and accused him of begging people for financial help via direct messages.

Sharing his original post, Roberta explained:

“One of the reasons I was extremely selective about who I married was because I didn’t want to end up with a man who would become a source of shame or constant distraction. Growing up, I saw far too many lazy men. The common denominator? They always embarrassed their families.”

She added, “Since the time of Nicodemus, lazy men have always brought disgrace to their homes. If you choose to marry one just because you have the means to feed him, that’s not the end—you’re also inviting many forms of shame into your life.”

Citing an example, Roberta said:

“Look at the Nigerian house husband who moved to the UK—a place where everyone hustles with two or three jobs to survive. Yet his wife, Abike, is left to carry the financial burden alone while he stays online criticizing women. How is she expected to thrive under such conditions?”

She concluded by criticizing the upbringing that normalizes such dynamics:

“If not for parents who fail to instill a sense of self-worth in their daughters, why would any young woman choose such suffering—marrying someone who contributes nothing, yet demands everything? If he’s not in men’s DMs begging for help, he’s online telling women what to cook.”
