Nigerian media personality Tacha Akide has spoken up over the exorbitant cost of living in the United Kingdom.
While speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast, the reality TV star opened up on her experience while living in the UK
I’ve been called different types of names. The people you call your friends are not like, when you travel, they’re not really your friends anymore. And you also have to understand because they probably have like three shifts.
Like it literally was just me like living in one of the most expensive neighborhoods abroad. We’re talking five thousand pounds a month like before you before you sleep i wake up it’s 30 days already. You’re like okay i have to start calculating i know people that wanted me to travel abroad like move to the UK, she said.
Tacha also revealed that Nigerians in the diaspora are always busy because they are working endlessly to afford the standard of living. She claimed that living in the UK can be hard.
And when I came, they were too busy to even see me. And I understand because there, do you understand? You’re going to St. Louis, you’re going to Tesco, you’re going to like a superstore. You see someone lying down on the floor helplessly asking for cash.
Like, can you give me one pound? Like, you’re seeing it happen for real, for real. It’s such a hard place where you don’t have uncles or aunties or parents or anybody understanding where you’re coming from because they also have a lot going on for them as well, she said.
