Big Brother Naija star and entrepreneur, Anita Akide, popularly known as Tacha, is known for speaking her mind—and she did not disappoint in a recent episode of The Podcast Network on YouTube. From love and relationships to life abroad, she gave fans an honest look at her views on modern dating and living outside Nigeria.
When asked about dating strategies for young women, the reality star didn’t hold back. She encouraged women to explore connections and take their time before settling down:
“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 also stressed the importance of staying single until marriage and not letting societal pressure or current relationships dictate decisions, “Every girl should be single till they’re actually married… Don’t let your boyfriend stop you from meeting your husband.”
She explained that women need to navigate relationships strategically, especially given the different societal expectations for men and women.
“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.”
The conversation also touched on life abroad versus life in Nigeria. While the country has its challenges, life overseas can sometimes be even tougher, “As much as it’s hard here in Nigeria, it’s also hard. It’s even harder abroad, honestly.”
She noted that many Nigerians living abroad avoid returning home because of pride or fear of judgment.
“A lot of people abroad do not want to come back because… people are going to say I went abroad and I couldn’t make it and then I came back.”
The former BBN housemate also highlighted the pressures of life overseas, from loneliness to financial strain, often hidden behind social media highlights, “People go through great pressure to give an impression that really, really does not exist… Two of my luggage items got stolen in Paris… It’s not this hard back here in Nigeria.”
For her, the warmth and support of local Nigerian communities remain unmatched.
“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 also encouraged Nigerians to use their natural boldness to positively influence change and improve the country’s global image,
“With how loud and how rugged they are, we actually should use that ruggedness to get what we want in the country. We can try to change it. We didn’t just get here. 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.”
Her honest reflections remind fans that love, life, and personal choices all deserve thought and care. And yes, sometimes that means having a little fun along the way.
