Solomon Buchi Told Peller and Jarvis: "Marriage Is Not a TikTok Livestream"

In other news, Solomon Buchi has entered the chat, and he is not here for the content.
The writer and relationship commentator shared his thoughts on Peller and Jarvis' upcoming wedding, urging the young TikTok stars to take marriage seriously. According to Buchi, while he supports early marriage, it should come with maturity, openness to mentorship, and an understanding of the responsibility that comes with building a family.

He said marriage is "more than streaming, fooling around on social media" and cameras, and advised the couple to seek proper counselling before tying the knot. He also warned against marrying someone hoping they will change, saying couples should accept each other for who they are at the time of marriage.
The couple's August 1 wedding is already one of the most anticipated events of the year. After their traditional marriage in Benin City and civil wedding, Peller and Jarvis are set to exchange vows in what is expected to be a star-studded affair. The couple have also unveiled a ₦1 million aso ebi package, sparking debates online.

But here is what the blogs did not tell you.

Buchi's comments were reportedly triggered by a viral video showing Jarvis telling Peller during an argument that he could take back the car he bought for her. The clip raised eyebrows, and Buchi seized the opportunity to drop some pre-wedding wisdom. He said unresolved resentment could be a recipe for disaster, and that the couple should not treat marriage as an extension of their social media fame.
Meanwhile, supporters of the couple have defended them, arguing that public arguments do not reflect the state of their relationship. Some have also pointed out that the couple's decision to livestream their wedding on YouTube and Twitch shows they are taking it seriously.
( laughs like African China, watching a relationship commentator drop marriage advice like it is a TED Talk)
The real tea is not about the counseling or the argument. It is that Solomon Buchi just told Nigeria's most talked-about TikTok couple to step away from the cameras and focus on the marriage. And the internet is divided, some say he is right, others say he is just another person with an opinion. In 2026, that is the kind of unsolicited advice that makes everyone pick a side.
