‘Don’t let your boyfriend stop you from meeting your husband’, Tacha advises singles

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Anita Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has stirred online conversations after sharing her bold views on relationships, settling down, and life abroad.

Speaking on The Podcast Network on YouTube, Tacha urged young women to take control of their love lives and avoid rushing into commitments.

“You need three other boyfriends in your life… I’m not saying to sleep with all the boyfriends. But at least… You just never really know,” she said.

The reality TV star stressed that women should remain independent until marriage.

“Every girl should be single till they’re actually married… Don’t let your boyfriend stop you from meeting your husband,” she added.

Tacha also addressed the double standards between men and women in society.

“The kind of grace that the guys have is not the same kind of grace that we have. So we need to be able to move differently,” she explained.

On life abroad, she admitted it comes with challenges despite appearing glamorous online.

“As much as it’s hard here in Nigeria, it’s also hard. It’s even harder abroad, honestly,” she noted, describing loneliness, financial strain, and pressure to keep up appearances.

Tacha recounted her personal struggles, including losing luggage in Paris, while pointing out that Nigeria’s community spirit often makes life easier at home.

“You can go to your junction and say, ‘Mama Ki, give me something of 7,000. By the end of the month, I’ll pay you.’ I feel like there’s a lot more to be happy and bright about over here in Nigeria than there in the UK,” she said.

Encouraging Nigerians to use their boldness to push for positive change, Tacha added, “With how loud and how rugged they are, we actually should use that ruggedness to get what we want in the country… It took a long time for us to get here. So it would take a long time to try to change the notion the world has about Nigeria.”
