Pulse Opinion: Is Tacha the next controversial celebrity in your face?

Tacha has become one of the most talked about celebrities since the inception of reality TV in Nigeria with everyone having a diverse opinion about her personality.

Whether we like it or not, Tacha is going to be in our faces for a long time to come and you all have to get used to it or maybe look away.

Reality TV shows are known for birthing two sets of people; the ones who go into extinction almost immediately after the show ends and those who will forever remain in the spotlight (Ebuka, Timi Dakolo, Gideon Okeke, Omawumi and Chidinma, to mention a few). Given by this calculation and recent events, Tacha who just got disqualified from the Big Brother Naija house joins the latter.

I know a lot of people will come for me because of the title of this piece but before you take out your pistol, maybe you should understand why this is nothing but the gospel truth. The entertainment world isn't an entirely formal sector as it mixed with all different kinds of people.

There are no particular pathways to becoming a celebrity as it can be described as the most complex and shocking sector. What works for Mr A might be a different ball game for Mr B.

Celebrities are known to be in the business of being in the news for all reasons both good and bad. The moment Tacha was introduced into the Big Brother Naija house as one of the housemates and she made that famous statement "Look at them, look at me" a controversial celebrity was born.

She brought so much controversy to the reality TV show from day 1 which spanned from fighting with virtually everyone in the house. The strikes didn't even help caution the 'social media influencer' as she went on a rampage at every given chance.

For some, it was a strategy, for others, it was a stinking and disgusting attitude that couldn't be hidden. Tacha was so confident about her getting to the last day in the house and eventually clinching the grand prize to the extent created a new alias "No Leave No Transfer."

After almost three months of surviving back to back evictions and strikes from Big Brother, Tacha's weakness sent her packing from the house unceremoniously after getting disqualified from the reality TV show. We all know how the fight with Mercy got Tacha disqualified from the house. 

Now let's understand how the dynamics of the entertainment world works, becoming a celebrity can happen overnight. Its requires both hard work and sometimes nothing really...yea like nothing, just do something crazy (Thanks to social media) you are on your way to becoming one of the most talked-about persons in the country.

Tacha basically became famous for her abrupt time in the BBNaija house which was marred with events that a lot of people would gladly erase from their memories. [Twitter/Big Bro Naija]

Tacha basically became famous for her abrupt time in the BBNaija house which was marred with events that a lot of people would gladly erase from their memories.

If you say Tacha is a celebrity then you are totally right. This young lady who was virtually unknown to a lot of people across the continent became a talking point at local bars, saloons and even corporate environment for months.

Let's not forget how she trended on social media anytime something crazy had happened in the house. Everyone talked about her, "Tacha this...Tacha that..." to the point that she even made it to the front page of a national daily.

A distasteful and unimpressive attitude should never be encouraged but let's be sincere with ourselves, some people have actually risen on that pedestal. While a lot of people were calling her out in the house, her ratings kept on increasing outside the house.

Since getting disqualified, several people have announced on social media about how they plan to reward Tacha financially and the numbers aren't slowing down.

The social discuss of Tacha's attitude while in the BBNaija house will linger on but one thing is that she is going to be here for a long time. Her social media followers have skyrocketed closing to almost a million followers on Instagram alone. Not to forget that her Instagram page has been verified, all thanks to her team and pain sticking die-hard fans.

Like she wrote in her press statement immediately after getting disqualified from the BBNaija reality TV show, she would be working on herself in the coming future and we pray she keeps to her words and not make it sound like another

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria.
