Ex-BBNaija Star Opens Up About Isolation and Financial Struggles Abroad
Former Big Brother Naija sensation Tacha Akide has peeled back the curtain on her challenging experience living in the UK, revealing she paid a staggering £5,000 (N10.3 million) monthly rent while battling loneliness in one of London’s most exclusive neighborhoods.
During an emotional appearance on the Honest Bunch podcast, the reality star shared how her glamorous social media presence masked a difficult reality abroad. “I was living in one of the most expensive neighborhoods… before you sleep and wake up, it’s 30 days already and you’re calculating rent again,” she confessed. The 27-year-old also spoke about the crushing isolation, recalling how even close friends were too busy working multiple shifts to see her during visits.
Tacha’s candid revelations painted a stark picture of life abroad – from witnessing homeless people begging for “just one pound” at supermarkets to the absence of family support networks. Her testimony offers a rare glimpse behind the curated facade of celebrity life overseas, resonating with many young Nigerians chasing dreams abroad. As she put it: “The people you call your friends… when you travel, they’re not really your friends anymore.” The star’s vulnerable confession has sparked widespread discussions about the hidden costs of the “Japa” movement among Nigerian netizens.
