Ex Big Brother Naija Housemate, Tacha has broken her silence on why she parted ways with her erstwhile manager, Tee Billz says that the management did not meet her immediate expectations.
In an interview with Sunday PUNCH the controversial reality star who signed a managerial deal with Tee Billz (Billz Vizion) also spoke about her background, fame, failures and life after BB Naija.
According to her, Tee Billz was sacked because he was too slow with carrying out actions and wasn’t able to meet her expectations.
Tacha said:
“When one signs up with a management, one would have expectations and targets. However, it’s one thing to have expectations and it’s another thing to have the expectations turn to reality.
“Sadly, that didn’t happen, especially after the first month of being signed to a management. The drive I had and the drive they had didn’t match. I drew their attention to my concerns and also tried to manage the situation by being patient and hoping for a change. But, things got worse as time went on and after three months, I decided we should mutually disengage our business relationship for the sake of my brand.”

Background
I recall making books for my imaginary school and gathering kids together to teach them. As a child, I wanted to become a teacher, so I could impart knowledge to people.
Education
For my elementary and secondary education, I attended Alpha Comprehensive Training College in Obio Akpor, Rivers State. I then proceeded to study English at the Ignatuis Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
BBN Season 4
I was inspired to take part in Big Brother Naija (2019 edition) because of the platform (it offers). I have always wanted to be on the show; seeing how huge a platform it is and how people go in there with nothing and leave with opportunities. I wanted to make my brand global, so I decided to try it out.
Parents’ reaction
My parents fully supported and respected my decision.
Experience
I went through a lot; it was quite stressful and demanding– the crowd and anxiety before finally being selected. I barely had favourites while in the house but I liked Sir Dee, Khafi, Isilomo and Omashola in the house and after the competition, I’ve got to meet and like a lot more ex-housemates.
Lessons
Some of the most important lessons I learnt while in the house were patience and tolerance. I learnt to coexist with a large number of people. Prior to the show, I had never lived, eaten or slept in a place with many other people. I never could tolerate sharing my privacy.
Attitude
I was not arrogant while in the house. I was just being myself but Nigerians are not people to be joked with. They turned my innocent bluntness to being saucy. I am just a naturally blunt person.
Disqualification
I don’t hold anyone responsible for my disqualification from the show; not Mercy or anyone else. I feel I was meant to be disqualified. That disqualification was fate and nobody’s fault.
Big Brother gave me a platform to showcase myself. I stayed in his house and ate his food. His house has rules and he’s never wrong. He did what he had to do.
I also don’t feel like Seyi betrayed me while we were in the house.
If I were to go for the competition again, I would, honestly, smile more, be more lively while minding my business and avoid fight traps.
I am doing well for myself and brand now. I am very visible and my family, the ‘titans’ make being visible easy for me.
Beef With Mercy
On her seeming beef with the BB Naija season 4 winner, Tacha had this to say :
We are good and existing– that’s all there is to it.
On Showing Gratitude
On showing gratitude, Tacha said: I am a grateful person. I showed gratitude to everyone who supported me while in the house when I got out.
I don’t know why the story about me being ungrateful made so much ‘buzz’. Maybe some people expected more; I don’t know.
However, I have learnt to compromise, keep my emotions in check and react less to critics.
