BBNaija 10: Faith’s Disqualification Is Justified – Tacha Says

Natasha Akide, a former Big Brother Naija reality star, who is popularly known as Tacha, has reacted to the disqualification of Faith Adewale from the ongoing 10th season of the show.

Recall that Faith was disqualified from the competition following a scuffle with fellow housemate Sultana during a group task rehearsal.

Reacting during an interview on TVC News, Tacha stated that Faith’s disqualification was justified.

“There’s nothing disappointing about Faith’s disqualification. I saw the clip of his altercation with Sultana. As much as he is always demanding respect, he should also know that respect is reciprocal.

“Whatever the task was, I don’t think it was that deep for them to dragged the bucket to the point of injuring Sultana. When you go into the house, there’s a rule book. You know you can’t at any point be physical with another housemate. And if you do, the judgement is in Big Brother’s hand,” Tacha said.

It would be recalled that Tacha was disqualified from the ‘Pepper Dem’ season in 2019 for violent conduct.

Don’t Depend On a Man For Money No Matter How Rich He Is – Tacha to Women

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Anita Natacha Akide aka Tacha, has sent a message to women.
She urged them to be financialy independent, even if their men are rich.
Speaking in an interview on Outside the Box, Tacha dismissed the idea of splitting responsibilities equally in relationships.
“Nobody would I do 50/50 with. No, no, I wouldn’t do 50/50 with anybody, really. No, no, no. I would, maybe, whilst growing up or in university, I probably would have. Or even in the university, I didn’t. So I won’t, I won’t do that now. I would say, use it as an inspiration to go get your shit together.
 
“Would I bring out my money sometimes? Yeah, I would. But it will not be a case where we’re doing 50/50.. no. There are times when maybe I probably do not have enough. I wanna do 100% I could. There are times that you do 100%, but the whole 50/50 thing is just giving friends and peer groups.” she added.
She was further asked how this position balanced the notion that women should not depend on any man.
“Yeah, it is true to not depend on any man. And regardless of how rich your partner or how rich your husband is, you just never know what tomorrow might bring. So it’s just always great for you to be independent. Try to get business or just anything else that makes you not be a liability.” she advised.

Why women should date multiple men at the same time — Tacha

Former Big Brother Naija star and media personality, Natasha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has set social media abuzz with her latest relationship advice.

Speaking on the Outside the Box podcast, Tacha urged young women not to put all their emotions and energy into one man while dating.

Explaining further, the reality star, who claimed to be paying £5K (N10.3M) monthly as rent in the UK, explained that it is wiser to keep options open to avoid heartbreak and disappointment.

Clarifying her stance, the reality TV star stressed that she was not promoting promiscuity but encouraging women to maintain multiple talking stages.

“I am not saying sleep with all the boyfriends, but at least let it be that there are other people you are talking to, because even that person you’re talking to, they say the heart of man is wicked, so you never really know,” she added.

Her advice has since sparked a wave of reactions from many condemning her for promoting promiscuity, while others backed the reality star.

An X user, @el_obisesan wrote, “She knows she’s no longer in her prime and that most men won’t take her seriously. That’s why she’s trying as hard as she can to recruit women to share her misf0rtune.”

@Amy_beke added, “Hmm, I can’t date more than one man. Talking stage can be more than one but once i start dating it’s just 1.”
