Reality TV star Tacha Akide has disclosed that she spent £5,000 (₦10.3M) each month on rent during her stay in the UK.
The former BBNaija housemate made the revelation while speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast, where she recounted her experiences living abroad.
According to her, many of her friends in the UK were so occupied with work that they couldn’t make time to meet her, as they were constantly busy with multiple shifts.
She added that her rent alone cost her £5,000 monthly during her time there.

You see someone lying down on the floor helplessly asking for cash. Like, can you give me one pound? Like, you’re seeing it happen for real, for real. It’s such a hard place where you don’t have uncles or aunties or parents or anybody understanding where you’re coming from because they also have a lot going on for them as well….”
