Former Big Brother Naija star, Natasha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has revealed that fame has changed her views on marriage.
Speaking in an interview with Yanga FM Lagos, she said she can no longer marry just for love, insisting that as a millionaire, her potential husband must be a billionaire.
“I can’t marry just because of love. I’m looking for a billionaire. I’m a millionaire, so my potential husband should be richer than me,” she said.
Tacha added that before her time on Big Brother Naija in 2019, she might have considered marrying for love, but not anymore.
“If I was before Big Brother Naija, maybe it would have been an option. But right now, it’s a No,” she stated.
She also noted that marriage is not her priority, as she is currently focused on building her career.
In other news…. Veteran Nollywood actor Dele Odule has stated that Western values cannot diminish Africa’s long-standing acceptance of polygamy, emphasizing that responsibility and discipline matter more than trying to align with foreign ideals.
Speaking in response to public rumours and social media speculations about his personal life, Odule explained that many people tend to twist his motivational messages into gossip for attention.
“At one point, people said I had ten children with ten different women. I didn’t bother to deny it. After all, it’s not a crime in Nigeria. If it’s a sin, I’ll answer for it when I get to heaven,” he remarked.
The veteran actor maintained that polygamy remains part of African tradition, arguing that as long as a man can provide for and manage his family responsibly, there is nothing wrong with it.
“Polygamy is deeply rooted in African culture. The Western world preaches one man, one wife, but we are Africans. The key is to be disciplined and accountable,” he said.
Reflecting on his career, Odule admitted that fame often comes with challenges especially in an era dominated by social media where narratives are easily distorted for clicks. However, he noted that focus and integrity have helped him sustain a clean image in the public eye.
“I’ve learned not to argue unnecessarily. If what’s said about me doesn’t affect my reputation, I simply let it go. As long as I’m not accused of any crime, I don’t dwell on it,” he explained.
He also credited his family for keeping him grounded, saying that at home he is neither a star nor a celebrity but a husband and father who strives to devote most of his time to his loved ones.
“Consistency, discipline, and self-awareness keep me balanced. Once you truly understand yourself, you can overcome anything,” Odule shared.
Offering words of wisdom to upcoming entertainers, he warned that the pursuit of fame can easily lead to missteps if not handled with patience and self-control.
“If you’re joining the entertainment industry, be cautious. Many people run into trouble not because they intended to, but because they lost focus,” he cautioned.
