Tacha Opens Up on Dating, Marriage, and Life Abroad

Big Brother Naija star and entrepreneur Anita Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has once again made headlines with her candid take on love and relationships. Speaking on a recent episode of The Podcast Network on YouTube, the outspoken reality star encouraged young women to rethink how they approach dating and marriage.

“Every Girl Needs Three Boyfriends” – Tacha

When asked about dating strategies, Tacha advised women not to rush into commitments. According to her, women should explore their options before marriage:

“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 emphasized that women should remain single until marriage, warning against letting a current boyfriend prevent them from meeting the right partner.

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

Why Women Should “Move Differently”

Tacha explained that women face different societal expectations compared to men, which makes it important to be strategic in relationships.

“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.”

Life Abroad vs Life in Nigeria

Beyond relationships, Tacha also discussed her experience living abroad compared to Nigeria. While many Nigerians believe life outside the country is easier, she revealed that living overseas often comes with loneliness, financial struggles, and hidden challenges.

“As much as it’s hard here in Nigeria, it’s also hard. It’s even harder abroad, honestly. People go through great pressure to give an impression that really does not exist.”

She shared her personal experience of losing luggage in Paris and noted how social media often hides the real struggles of Nigerians abroad.

Why Many Nigerians Don’t Return Home

According to Tacha, pride and fear of judgment often stop Nigerians abroad from coming back home.

“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.”

In contrast, she praised the supportive community culture in Nigeria, where locals often help one another with credit, food, and small financial assistance.

Nigerians Abroad vs Nigerians at Home: Tacha’s Call for Change

Despite the challenges, Tacha believes Nigerians’ boldness and resilience can be used to create positive change.

“With how loud and rugged we 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 change the notion the world has about Nigeria.”

Conclusion: Bold Advice from a Bold Star

From dating tips to reflections on life abroad, Tacha’s unfiltered honesty continues to spark conversations. Her advice—whether about having “three boyfriends,” staying single until marriage, or navigating challenges abroad—reminds fans that love, life, and personal choices require both courage and strategy.
