Life coach, Solomon Buchi has denounced the feminism movement, saying he ceases to identify as one as he gives reasons for his decision.
This comes barely three months after he declared him ‘King of Feminism’ as he popularly known for being vocal about the movement on Instagram and Twitter.
He has however announced that he no longer identifies with the “secular feminist institution” because of what the movement has evolved into and because it doesn’t “corroborate the Gospel of Christ that saved me.”
Buchi also apologized to anyone he might have offended in the phase of his “passionate feminist advocacy.”
In a lengthy Twitter thread, he wrote;
From today, I cease to identify with the secular feminist institution. As a Christian, my journey as a passionate feminist was a tad labyrinthine because for what feminism has evolved into; some of the beliefs do not corroborate the Gospel of Christ that saved me.
From sexual liberation to LGBTQ to prostitution and a few other things. My Christian faith doesn’t authenticate these extremely leftist ideologies. Secular world views can be liberating, but when we exterminate ABSOLUTES & tilt to total relativism, it’s a land of no return.
This isn’t me giving male chauvinism a pass mark. I am still anti-misogyny; I am still anti-patriarchy; I am still anti-androcentrism. I will always speak against every appearance of evil against women; I’ll speak against the systemic oppression structured against women. Always.
He added;
I am not even denying the blatant injustice against women, especially women of colour, that has eaten deep into the fabric of our society; even enabled by many religious bodies.
However my advocacy will be an expression of my faith in a just God. There’s no advocacy greater than The gospel. Jesus liberated us from all forms of inequality before any secular institution. He is our ultimate freedom fighter and if we all reflect his love, the world will fine.
Apologizing to those he offended while being a feminist, Buchi wrote;
This will be a rude shock to some people. I know right, I also want to apologize for ever being condescending toward anyone in the phase of my passionate feminist advocacy; I am sorry. I look back and see zealous fumbles I made. Moving on, It’ll be more of love and grace.

“There’s no slave or master…no male or female in Christ, we are one in Christ”. “Love your neighbour as you love yourself.” These amongst others are passages that greatly express our equality in Christ, and how love is our standard.

I understand the sensitivity of sexuality in modern times and let not my words be misconstrued about the LGBTQ community: they are deserving of love and should never be hunted or treated in a dehumanizing manner, however, God’s word frowns on the act just like every other sin.

I also do understand the reactivity of the culture we live in, and how some texts in the Bible could pass as denigrating to women. For now, I’ll say that selfish people have twisted these words out of context to perpetuate their misogynistic ideologies.

I am not also going to play down the work I’ve done in the social space against social injustice against women. Everything I did and advocated for was all in love, however, passion is not enough. My works might have inspired some of you, thank you…

…this is just my new conviction and as a man who acknowledges God to be the originator of his life, I am in service of His supreme will. I want to thank everyone who supported me on that level; it was all part of my journey. It is time to get on a higher purpose.

It’s okay to hate me for this. I wasn’t loved by everyone when I wore the feminist badge aggressively either. Again, I am pro-parity, but I cease to identify with the secular feminist movement from today. This conviction doesn’t need to make sense to you. I needed to do this.❤️

Solomon Buchi’s decision to denounce the feminism movement has however sparked reaction from many Nigerians on Twitter.
See some reactions below;
What happens to all those people Solomon Buchi made enemies because they didn’t subscribe to his feminist worldview?
Those he called toxic, misogynists, sexists, rape apologists and all sort because they dared disagree with his feminist creed?
Is an apology in view?

The way LGBT Twitter will drag Solomon Buchi today ga di egwu. He clearly said they should be shown love and not be treated in a dehumanizing manner but watch how they will still drag him to hell and back for that harmless comment.

omo Solomon Buchi really thinks feminism is like agbada you can wear and remove at any time💀

I felt bad unfollowing one of the feminists I look up to so much after a few tweets that went against the Bible. Seeing this confirmed I did the right thing. You can be feminist and Christian.

Solomon is a feminist who is homophobic & Pro Choice.
He is a feminist who fights for equality rights for women until that woman demands equality to love another woman and he turns to his patriarchy privilege to deny her that.
