Nigerian relationship commentator Solomon Buchi has sparked widespread reactions online after questioning why married men remain active on Snapchat, raising fresh debates about trust and boundaries in modern relationships.
His comments, made on Sunday, May 18, 2026, quickly spread across social media, drawing both support and criticism from users who interpreted his views as either cautionary or overly generalised.
“What are you doing there?” Buchi questions married men
Buchi expressed strong concerns about married men using the platform regularly, suggesting that such behaviour often raises suspicion in relationships.
“I can never understand why a married man is on Snapchat. What are you doing there? Whenever I see a married man who uses Snapchat regularly, I believe you’re cheating,” he said.
He further argued that the platform is widely associated with private messaging, disappearing chats and explicit content sharing, which he believes creates room for secrecy in relationships.
Debate over trust and digital boundaries
The statement immediately triggered mixed reactions online, with some users agreeing with his concerns while others pushed back, insisting that social media use alone cannot be used as proof of infidelity.
Critics argued that trust in marriage should not be judged based on the platforms a person uses, stressing the need for evidence rather than assumptions.
Others, however, supported his position, pointing to concerns about disappearing messages and private conversations often linked to relationship secrecy.
Longstanding conversation resurfaces
The debate also revived earlier discussions dating back to 2023, where Snapchat was repeatedly mentioned in Nigeria’s online conversations around infidelity and digital secrecy in relationships.
While Buchi acknowledged that not all users misuse the platform, he maintained that perception and patterns of behaviour continue to influence how people interpret social media activity in relationships.
