Reality TV personality and influencer Tacha Akide has stirred online reactions following her remarks about the financial reality faced by Nigerians living in the United Kingdom.

In a recent video, the former BBNaija star, who now resides in the UK, expressed that the general perception of Nigerians abroad being well-off is often misleading.

Tacha pointed out that many Nigerians in the UK are struggling to make ends meet and, in some cases, live under more difficult conditions than those back home, mainly due to the soaring cost of living.

She emphasized that, based on what she has observed, a significant number of Nigerians in the UK are not as financially stable as believed. In fact, she noted that some people in Nigeria appear to be enjoying a more comfortable lifestyle compared to those abroad, especially in light of current economic pressures in the UK.

“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,” she said.

Her remarks have sparked debate on social media, with many users weighing in on the realities of living abroad versus the expectations held by those back home.
