Former Big Brother Naija housemate Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has opened up about her recent move to the United Kingdom. Speaking in an interview with British media personality Madame Joyce, Tacha revealed that she relocated after “conquering” the Nigerian market.
“I relocated to the UK because I have conquered the whole of the Nigerian market,” she said. However, Tacha clarified that she remains open to working on Nigerian deals if the terms are favorable.
Reflecting on the Nigerian influencing industry, Tacha highlighted financial challenges that influenced her decision. “The influencing scene in Nigeria looks so beautiful, but behind the scenes, it’s not as beautiful as it seems because the money is poor,” she explained.
Tacha shared that while offers like ₦6 million (approximately $3,000) might seem appealing, they are insufficient when converted to dollars and used to cover international expenses. “The fee was the same when I left Big Brother Naija in 2019, but it made sense then. Now, $3,000 is nothing. After travel, looking good, and other expenses, there’s nothing left,” she said.
Despite relocating, Tacha assured fans that her move doesn’t mean she’s stepping away from Nigerian projects entirely, as she continues to expand her influence internationally.
