Tacha Claims Many Nigerians in the UK Are Struggling

Reality TV star, Tacha Akide, has said that many Nigerians living in the United Kingdom are broke.

Tacha, who recently moved to the UK, made this known in a video she shared online. In the clip, she spoke about how expensive it is to live in the UK and how many people are barely getting by.

She said some Nigerians back home in Nigeria are actually living better than those in the UK. According to her, life in the UK is not as easy as many people think.

“Stop Feeling Inferior,” She Tells Nigerians

In her words, “You see those of you always having inferiority complex in Nigeria, thinking everyone here is rich, most people here are broke. The most broke people I have met are actually the people I met in the UK.”

She added, “Everyone is holding themselves. It is expensive as f$ck. Most people in Nigeria are living better off than most people here.”

Her message is clear — don’t feel less just because you’re living in Nigeria.

Social Media Users Fire Back

After Tacha’s video went viral, many people shared their opinions online. Some disagreed with her strongly.

A user, @anniejones8224, wrote, “Do you work? What do you do for a living? Can’t you buy a car or sort your papers first?”

Another person, @may17_collections, said, “My sister, pick a shift. This is not Lagos; no one is bankrolling you here.”

And @adewhalezz commented, “It is pounds, not dollars, ma. Why not return to Nigeria? No one cares about ‘celebs with no value’ abroad.”

Life Abroad Isn’t Always What It Seems

Tacha’s video is now a hot topic. It reminds people that life abroad comes with struggles. Many Nigerians in the UK are working hard to survive, and not everyone is rich.

Her words may sound bold, but they also carry a message — don’t believe everything you see online, and don’t think life outside Nigeria is always better.
