Writer Solomon Buchi has expressed strong disapproval after discovering that a married couple, known as DoubleKay, is participating in the ongoing Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality TV show.
His reaction was sparked by a viral video showing the couple involved in a heated argument after Kassia, the wife, was accused by a fellow housemate of inappropriately touching his nipple.
In the video, Kellyrae, the husband, confronted Kassia, questioning her actions and the implications of her behavior.
“How am I supposed to know? Be reasonable to me, madam! You are a wife! You are a lady! Listen to me when I talk. Whether you touched the nipple or not, the guy said, ‘Kassia, you are touching my nipple’. That was what he said. Reverse the thing and a girl said you dey use that thing dey rub my breast. Reverse it. Does that even make any sense?” Kellyrae’s remarks have ignited debates online, with opinions divided on whether his reaction was justified or overly harsh.
Buchi, however, is not just concerned with the incident but with the broader issue of a married couple participating in a show like BBNaija.
He expressed his displeasure, stating,
“Wait, a married couple went on Big Brother Naija? You guys have no respect for marriage.”
He emphasized that the presence of a married couple on a show known for its focus on romantic entanglements and controversial content shows a clear disregard for the sanctity of marriage.

The writer’s criticism extends to the couple’s decision to join the show together, suggesting that it undermines the respect and cultural values traditionally associated with marriage. Buchi further lamented,
“There was a time that people believed one had sense just because they’re married. These days, married people are scrambling to get on a reality show that thrives on romantic affairs and immorality.”
His comments reflect a growing concern among viewers who believe that marriage should be treated with more reverence and that such public displays can erode cultural respect for the institution.
