Big Brother Naija reality show star, Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, recently stirred controversy with her comments on feminism in Nigeria. During a candid interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Tacha expressed her views on feminism and its practice in the country, even going as far as to label it as witchcraft.

The drama began when Tacha addressed her altercation with Mummy Zee, a woman known for waking up at 4:30 am daily to cook for her husband. It all started when a social media user informed Mummy Zee that Tacha had allegedly insulted her on a show, to which Mummy Zee dismissively responded with a comment that Tacha found disrespectful – “that one wey no get sense.”

In response to Mummy Zee’s remark, Tacha took to social media to defend herself and clarify that she was actually praising the woman on her show. She denied the accusation made by the social media user, claiming that she was supporting Mummy Zee, not insulting her as alleged.

During her interview with Chude Jideonwo, Tacha delved deeper into her thoughts on feminism, particularly in the Nigerian context. She criticized the brand of feminism practiced in the country, labeling it as witchcraft. Tacha expressed her frustration with what she perceived as a skewed representation of feminism in Nigeria, where women often fail to stand up for themselves in important matters but readily engage in negative actions against men.

In the midst of her explanation, Tacha highlighted the disconnect between the ideals of feminism and the behaviors she observed among some Nigerian women. She emphasized her belief in equality and fairness for all, but criticized the tendency for some individuals to misuse the concept of feminism for personal vendettas or misguided intentions.

The controversial statement made by Tacha sparked discussions on social media, with many reacting to her views on feminism and the Nigerian society. Some supported her perspective, agreeing that there are issues with how feminism is practiced in the country, while others criticized her for generalizing and making sweeping statements.

Ultimately, Tacha’s comments shed light on a nuanced and complex issue within the feminist movement in Nigeria. Her bold stance sparked important conversations about the true essence of feminism and the need for a more inclusive and empowering approach to gender equality in the country.
