Speaking in the now-viral video posted on Monday, the former Big Brother Naija housemate compared the financial condition of Nigerians living in the United Kingdom to those residing in Nigeria.

She argued that many Nigerians abroad are struggling more than is often perceived back home.

“You see those of you always having inferiority complex in Nigeria, thinking everyone here is rich, most people here are broke,” she said.

“The most broke people I have met are actually the people I met in the UK. Everyone is holding themselves. It is expensive. Most people in Nigeria are living better off than most people in here.”

Tacha, who recently relocated to the UK, has consistently voiced her frustration with the rising cost of living and economic pressure she has experienced since the move.

The most broke people I have met are actually the people I met in the UK… Most people in Nigeria are living better off than most people in here.

At 29, the outspoken influencer has used her platform to challenge assumptions about wealth and success abroad.

Her comments have divided public opinion.

While some applaud her honesty, others see it as an exaggeration. Still, the conversation highlights the complex realities many Nigerians face in pursuit of better opportunities outside the country.
