“Let her decide where her husband should be buried” – Solomon Buchi weighs in on Toluwanisings’ burial controversy

Nigerian writer and relationship commentator Solomon Buchi has weighed in on the controversy surrounding the burial of Toluwanisings, defending his wife against criticism over her reported refusal to have him buried in their home.

In a remark shared on his Instagram page, Solomon condemned the backlash against the widow, arguing that her decision about where her husband should be buried does not mean she did not love him.

He also criticised people questioning her grief after Toluwanisings’s death, including reports that his uncle was surprised to find her and her mother watching television at home.

Solomon questioned why a grieving widow should be expected to stop carrying out everyday activities because she had lost her husband.

“The way the Nigerian culture in different states and different tribes demonizes the wife of a deceased man is absolutely disgusting,” he stated.

He further argued that the house belonged to both husband and wife, insisting that the widow should have a say in deciding where her husband would be laid to rest.

Solomon also urged men to prepare wills after marriage, suggesting that they should consider recording video wills to make their wishes clear and prevent disputes among family members after their death.

“Let her decide where her husband should be buried. It’s as simple as that. Wherever she wants her husband to be buried, the whole family will have to accommodate it,” he added.

He condemned what he described as the oppression of widows in the name of tradition and questioned why people were scrutinising the woman’s grief instead of allowing her to mourn privately.

Solomon also described burying someone in a residential apartment as “very creepy,” insisting that families should respect the wishes of the living while honouring the dead.
