- Tacha Akide, a renowned reality star, asserts that a significant number of Nigerians residing in the UK are financially strained.
- The former BBNaija star, who recently relocated to the UK, shared this information in a recent video.
Reality TV star and influencer Tacha Akide has stirred conversation online after claiming that many Nigerians living in the United Kingdom are financially struggling.
In a video she recently shared, the former Big Brother Naija housemate who now resides in the UK said that contrary to popular belief, many Nigerians abroad are simply “managing” to get by.
“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 as f$ck.”
Tacha further stated that from her observation, many people in Nigeria are actually living more comfortably than those abroad, especially with the rising cost of living in the UK.
