Speaking during an interview on Outside the Box on Sunday, Tacha emphasized that true national change must begin from within.
She called on Nigerians to stay back and contribute to nation-building rather than seeking greener pastures abroad.
“Nigerians need to stay in Nigeria to check this country or to affect the change we want to see,” she said.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate revealed that even after experiencing life in the UK, she found herself appreciating Nigeria more than expected.
“Even though living in London, a lot of the things I did see were like wow… but Nigeria is great too,” she added.
Tacha argued that it is unwise to abandon a stable life in Nigeria—whether it’s a successful business, a home, or a career—simply to chase the illusion of a better life overseas.
“If you have a working business or job, your car, your house—it doesn’t make sense to sell all that and move abroad,” she said.
The outspoken media figure pointed out that while countries like the UK, South Africa, and Dubai may offer better infrastructure, success abroad isn’t guaranteed.
She noted that many who relocate still face loneliness, cultural shock, and an uphill battle to achieve their desired standard of living.
“It’s not greener outside Nigeria than we all think it is. Even when you get there, you still have to walk. You get lonelier. It’s busy. I love Lagos, Nigeria,” she concluded.
