Ex-BB Naija Housemate, Tacha Buys House In PH
Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha says she has gotten a house for herself in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital.
The reality TV star while in an instagram live chat with music star, Peter Okoye, of the defunct group, P. Square revealed that she had gotten a new crib in Port Harcourt.
Mr. P had asked the reality TV star if the news of her acquiring a house in Port Harcourt was true and she replied, “it’s true, it’s actually true, I just don’t think it is time to spill”.
Meanwhile, Tacha has taken to the social media to call on the Federal Government to provide means of survival during the Coronavirus lockdown. She advised the government to use the Bank Verification Number (BVN) to send funds to people.
She listed other means of survival that should be provided to the people, like food, electricity, security and water. She added that anyone who is hungry would not practise the health guidelines given to people to curb the spread of the virus. She stressed that since most Nigerians now have BVN it would be easy to provide funds to them.
Tacha was one of the housemates from the fourth edition of the Reality TV Show whose stay in the house was marred with controversies at a point she was disqualified from the Reality TV Show for breaking the house rules.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
