Why I relocated permanently to UK —BBNaija’s Tacha
Former female housemate of the 2019 Big Brother Naija (BBN) reality TV show, Tacha Akide, has explained her reason for permanently relocating to the United Kingdom.
The reality TV, who opened up on the latest episode of Madame Joyce’s podcast, said that she has already conquered the Nigerian market and is looking to explore new territory.
Tacha Akide further stated that relocating to the United Kingdom does not mean she would not take up jobs in Nigeria, especially if the deal is worthwhile.

She said, “With me being in the UK, I am representing Nigeria; I’ve already conquered the whole of the Nigerian market. Relocating to the UK doesn’t mean that I won’t take Naija deals. If the money is good, fine, why not?”
In addition to discussing her goals in the UK and the difficulties of working in the Nigerian market, she also shared an example of being underpaid for an influential event she participated in, pointing out that such circumstances are common in Nigeria.
“With the influencing scene in Naija, it looks so beautiful, but behind the scenes, it’s not as beautiful because the money is shit. Imagine someone wanting to pay you six million, which is about 3 thousand dollars for six months, and they want you to influence and post two videos a month. These videos need to be created o!” Tacha explained.
