Former Big Brother Naija star and successful entrepreneur, Anita Natacha Akide, widely known as Tacha, has once again set social media abuzz with her bold perspective on relationships, marriage, and life abroad.
Speaking on The Podcast Network via YouTube, Tacha urged women to take full control of their dating lives instead of hastily committing to one partner. She explained that women should maintain multiple options while navigating relationships.
According to her:
She emphasized that women should not feel pressured to settle down quickly. In her words:
“Every girl should remain single until they are truly married. Don’t let your current boyfriend stop you from meeting the man who could actually be your husband.”
On Gender Standards in Relationships
Tacha further highlighted the double standards in society when it comes to how men and women are judged. She explained that men often enjoy more freedom, while women are criticized for the same actions.
“The grace that men carry is not the same grace women have. That’s why as women, we must be smarter and move differently,” she said.
Tacha’s Honest View on Life Abroad
The outspoken reality TV star also compared life in Nigeria with living overseas. She admitted that while Nigeria is tough, many Nigerians underestimate the difficulties of living abroad.
“As hard as it is in Nigeria, it is even tougher abroad. A lot of Nigerians living overseas do not want to come back because of pride. They fear being mocked if they return without success,” she explained.
She revealed that loneliness, financial struggles, and pressure to maintain appearances are realities many Nigerians abroad face, even when they showcase glamorous lifestyles online.
Sharing a personal experience, she recalled how her luggage was stolen in Paris, stressing that life abroad is not always as rosy as it appears.
Nigeria’s Priceless Community Support
Despite Nigeria’s challenges, Tacha praised the country’s communal support system. She noted that Nigerians enjoy strong community ties that often help people survive difficult times.
“You can go to your local junction and say, ‘Mama Ki, give me something worth ₦7,000 and I’ll pay by month’s end.’ That kind of community bond is rare abroad. There is a lot more to be joyful about in Nigeria than in the UK,” she stated.
Call for Nigerians to Reshape the Country’s Global Image
Tacha encouraged Nigerians to channel their outspoken and rugged spirit into driving meaningful change. She believes that this determination, if properly directed, can alter the world’s perception of Nigeria.
“With how loud and rugged Nigerians are, we can use that energy to demand what we want in the country. Change may take time, but if we remain persistent, we can reshape the global narrative about Nigeria,” she concluded.
