‎"Nigerians Residing In The UK Are Not Rich" - Tacha

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

‎Popular Nigeria media personality and former Big Brother Naija housemate, Natasha Akide, best known as Tacha, has claimed that she has found out that many Nigerians who are now residing in the United Kingdom are not rich.


‎The controversial reality star made the claim in a viral video on social media, noting how many Nigerians are of the belief that Nigerians who are residing in the UK are better off than they are, stressing that they are in fact, broke.


‎Tacha, who is currently residing in the UK further emphasized that living in the UK is not as rosy as many think, as the cost of living is high.


‎Advising Nigerians, she urged them to think it through before deciding to relocate to the UK without a clear plan.


‎Tacha said:
‎"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. Everyone is holding themselves. It is expensive.”


‎“Trust me when I tell you that the living situation here is not rosy. In fact, most people in Nigeria are living better off than people actually living here. So if you want to move, go ahead, but not with the mentality of ‘oh, it’s all rosy.’ You see yourself spending 300k on a freaking taxi in a freaking day, 1 million on a car in a week unless you want to use the train. Think about your decision."
